From Healing People to Transforming Lives

Long before YGPT was founded, Maitreya Dadashreeji dedicated himself to serving people through medicine. Working closely with individuals from different walks of life, he realised that many challenges extended beyond physical health. Fear, loneliness, lack of purpose and disconnection often remained even after treatment.

This understanding inspired a broader mission — one that focused not only on caring for the body but also on nurturing the mind, heart and human spirit. Through years of contemplation, service and community engagement, he developed a vision where personal transformation and social responsibility go hand in hand.

For him, meaningful change begins within every individual and naturally extends outward into families, communities and society.

Why Youth?

Among every generation, Maitreya Dadashreeji saw young people as the greatest force for positive change. Their energy, creativity and willingness to act have the power to shape the future when guided with compassion, purpose and responsibility.

Rather than asking young people to wait until they are older to make a difference, he believed they should be empowered today — with opportunities to lead, serve and grow through real experiences.

His vision was simple: when young people transform themselves, they naturally become catalysts for transforming the world around them.

"Young people are not the leaders of tomorrow alone. They are capable of creating meaningful impact today."

YGPT

Turning Vision into Action

This vision became YGPT.

Youth Global Peace Transformation is more than a volunteer network or youth organisation. It is a platform where young people discover purpose through action.

Through community service, environmental initiatives, leadership opportunities, social impact projects and meaningful friendships, YGPT enables youth to develop confidence, compassion and responsibility while creating positive change in society.

Every initiative reflects a simple belief — that lasting impact is created by individuals who are willing to grow, serve and lead.

Guiding Principles

What guides every step

Love

Real change begins with empathy. When we care deeply for people and communities, meaningful action follows naturally.

Transformation

Growth starts from within. Every experience becomes an opportunity to become more aware, responsible and resilient.

Selfless Service

Serving others is not simply an act of giving — it is a path to discovering purpose, humility and human connection.

Youth Leadership

Young people are not the leaders of tomorrow alone. They are capable of creating meaningful impact today.

"You don't have to become a spiritual being. You just have to become a good human being." — Maitreya Dadashreeji
The Vision Continues

The Vision Continues Through Every Young Person

YGPT exists because one belief remains timeless: when young people transform themselves through compassion, responsibility and service, they become capable of transforming communities and shaping a better future.

Whether you're taking part in your first volunteer activity or leading an initiative of your own, every contribution carries this vision forward.
