This group was initiated with the objective of keeping in touch with the youth of the community, who have had some past association with Door Step School. Most of the members have been introduced to education by the organization, and are today studying in the secondary or higher secondary schools / junior colleges. They fall into the age group of 12 to 18 years. This groups has great potential in influencing their community and paving the way for future generations.

They get an opportunity to come together 3-4 times a year for some common events. The programs planned for them include a variety of awareness programmes and personality development sessions. Seeking a group identity for themselves he groups in some of the communities have named themselves Sanjivani, Ekta, etc.
