We are excited to announce that Magic Bus India Foundation will co-host Charcha 2026 on 16 September at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. Let’s explore Sport as a powerful platform for youth empowerment at one of India’s largest collaborative convenings. It is time to broaden the narrative around sport—from medals, elite athletes and competitive performance to Sport for Development: a powerful approach that can advance education, employability, health, gender equality, life skills and social cohesion. At Magic Bus, we believe sport can be much more than a game. It can be a pathway to life skills, inclusion, confidence and opportunity for young people. Join the session.

Meet Manthan, our Livelihood Champion. For a long time, an uncertain future and a lack of direction made it difficult for him to see what came next. Then, an opportunity through Magic Bus helped him take that first step towards a better future. Today, Manthan is working, supporting his family and investing in his own dreams, while also helping other young people discover opportunities for themselves. Because sometimes, all it takes is one opportunity to change the direction of a life. #LivelihoodChampions #MagicBus #YouthEmpowerment #YouthLivelihood #SkillsForLife #LivelihoodProgramme

Every volunteering experience is an opportunity to connect purpose with action while creating tangible change for the communities we serve. At Magic Bus, our Employee Volunteering Programme enables corporate teams to turn their time, skills, and collective effort into meaningful action that creates lasting impact for children, adolescents, and young people from underserved communities. If your organisation believes in creating impact beyond the workplace, we'd love to explore how we can build meaningful volunteering experiences together.

Magic Bus organised Yuva Srujan, a convening that celebrated the impact of the Safe, Vibrant & Healthy Public Spaces (SVHPS) Project, implemented in collaboration with WRI India and supported by Fondation Botnar. It was a powerful reminder of what becomes possible when young people are trusted to lead. Through Youth Clubs and School Adolescent Cabinets across 10 schools in Jaipur, adolescents strengthened their leadership, confidence, and ability to shape safer, healthier, and more inclusive spaces in their communities. Together with government stakeholders and partners, we also explored how these approaches can continue to inspire change long after the project concludes. At Magic Bus, we believe that meaningful partnerships don't just create impact for today, they empower the next generation to lead tomorrow. #MagicBusIndiaFoundation #YouthLeadership #PartnershipsForImpact #WRIIndia #SocialImpact #YouthEmpowerment #CommunityDevelopment #TogetherForChange

We are pleased to announce the renewal of our MoU with the School Education Department, Mizoram, reaffirming our shared commitment to strengthening Life Skills and 21st Century Skills education across the state. Through this partnership, Magic Bus will support teachers through curriculum development, training, classroom implementation, monitoring and assessment, helping make Life Skills education more active, participatory and impactful. With the support of SCERT, the Year 1 and Year 2 curriculum for Grades 6–8 has been developed, with Year 3 being taken forward in collaboration with MBSE and SCERT. The programme aims to reach 43,141 children across 1,308 schools, including 1,006 Upper Primary Schools and 302 Secondary Schools, as per UDISE+ 2025–26. Looking ahead, the programme will extend its focus to Grades 9–10, integrating essential areas such as Financial Literacy, Green Skills, Digital Literacy and Career Education. This renewal marks more than the continuation of a partnership. It is a step towards building a stronger, more sustainable ecosystem for Life Skills education - one that equips young people across Mizoram to navigate learning, work and life with greater confidence. Together, we continue to turn education into a pathway for possibility. #MagicBus #LifeSkills #Mizoram #21stCenturySkills #Education #TeacherDevelopment #AdolescentEmpowerment #PartnershipForImpact

Conservation begins with awareness and grows through action.🌱 On #WorldNatureConservationDay, schools and communities became spaces for adolescents to explore what it means to care for the planet. Through paper bag-making, poster-making, and slogan-writing activities, students reflected on reducing plastic use, planting trees, saving water, protecting biodiversity, and keeping their surroundings clean. At Magic Bus, these experiences go beyond environmental awareness. Integrated into our Future Skills curriculum, Green Skills help adolescents connect everyday choices with larger environmental challenges while building critical thinking, collaboration, communication, decision-making, and a sense of responsibility. With 2,886 adolescents and 340 teachers and Magic Bus Life Skills Educators engaged, we are helping young people become not just future-ready, but planet-ready. Because preparing young people for tomorrow also means empowering them to build a more sustainable world today. #WorldNatureConservationDay #GreenSkills #FutureSkills #LifeSkills #FutureReadyYouth #Sustainability #MagicBusIndia

On this #InternationalYouthDay, we celebrate young people like Prachi who are turning opportunities into independence, confidence, and careers. A day in the life of Prachi. The alarm rings. She gets ready, grabs her backpack, and heads to work. It may look like an ordinary morning. But for Prachi, it represents something extraordinary: INDEPENDENCE. Not long ago, she had the ambition to build a career, but not a clear path forward. Through the Magic Bus Livelihood Programme, supported by the @britishasiantst and BT. She gained life and employability skills, digital confidence, and the support to take her first step into the world of work. Today, Prachi walks into @KidZania as a Supervisor, ready to guide, manage, lead, and grow. What once felt like a distant possibility is now her everyday reality. This is a day in Prachi’s life.
