The
Origin
The idea of creating Pioneers Youth was sparked at the conclusion of Pioneers EXPO 2018, a student-led Sustainable Development Conference held in Sri Lanka. Having created a Sustainability Analysis Report highlighting the obstacles Sri Lanka in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, the Organizing Committee of the event found that many of the issues identified were prevalent across South Asia.
Accordingly, Hiruni Herath, Anuki Mendis, Minupama Kariyawasam, Sakurani Perera and Viduravi Athulathmudali met on the 08th of December, 2018, at the Race Course in Colombo, where they decided to establish Pioneers Youth. They envisioned an organization in which volunteers would develop their skills and knowledge by engaging in the organization and ensuring a strong ripple effect in their communities.
The interviews for the founding Executive Committee were called on the 04th of February, 2019, and the first Executive Committee meeting was held on the 21st of February, 2019, in Sri Jayawardanapura Kotte.
