The Voice of Youth

The Voice of Youth (tVoY) is a Pakistani youth network spread across 151 countries.

History
tVoY was initiated by a student of National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan (NUST) in June, 2010 to cultivate relations with youth across different strata of life. Its deeper visionary objective is to create a forum where the youth of Pakistan could mingle and enrich each other's perceptions and views.
