PAKISTAN GRASSROOT YOUTH FORUM (PGRYF) has been conceived on recognition of the fact that a good percentage of our youth would be leaders and parents have either derailed from positive living or are at the verge of doing so due to influences, such as:
PEER PRESSURE: Youths are mostly influenced and lured into doing what they aught not to do just because their peers tend to have a stronger influence on their counterparts.
MASS MEDIA: The effects of the mass media on the youths can almost be described as negative. The advent of magazine that practice junk journalism and ill-inspired texts/stories the publication and circulation of such write ups as making quick money glamorous lifestyle, sex, drug peddling gangasterism etc. only leave our youths in the world of imagination and fantasies, thereby allowing them the practice of such vices.
SOCIETY: Some of our societal beliefs, norms and values are archaic and in human in it exploits. Some of these cultures, which have been inculcated in the youth, are the causes of communal and trial classes as evidenced today, since it’s the weapon often used by the elderly to induce fights and cause disharmony.
FAMILY: The influence of family on the youths cannot be over emphasized. A hostile family tends to bring up hostile child. A broken home tends to bring up without have and parental care. These children will grow up to become hostile youths without love and affection for others.
CURIOSITY: Most of the youth gets into negative vices simply because they are curious and want to experiment. A twenty - three year old drug – addict confessed that he got into drugs because he wanted to feel the after effect.
INFERIORITY COMPLEX: When youth develop an inferiority complex among their peers either because of their family backgrounds and status or the way they see them selves as inferiors they tend to resort to taking intoxicants such as; Opium, alcohol drugs, all of the social vices that characterize the youth of our society, which gives them a temporary and false feelings self esteem and importance to stand their company.
Most of these youths would have remained on track if they had been properly checked, advised and given relevant information.

WORKING TOWARDS THE REALIZATION OF THE AIMS/OBJECTIVES OF THE GLOBAL GRASSROOT YOUTH FORUM
We therefore saw a dire need for some form of reconciliatory moves for the youth – the need to reconcile them to their somewhat lost positive lifestyle, for a meaningful and better living becomes paramount.
To correct some unfavorable norms and values of our society which have disillusioned, poisoned and distorted the minds of our youths hence, leading them to an unfulfilled and meaningless living. Their minds have to be re-programmed for a harmonious and wholesome living.
To write youth from different communities, tribes, countries and continents thereby eradicating fear, insecurity, pessimism, distrust, etc. Which have been the causes of meaningless clashes, quarrels, misunderstanding, accusations and counter accusations by one tribe and another, one country and another, leading to war.
To curb the number of youths that indulge in immoral acts, behaviors and habits such as; smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction, and sexual escapades such as homosexuality and lesbianism, casual sex, which exposes them to unwanted pregnancy, diseases, STDs, and the dreaded and incurable HIV virus leading the incurable AIDS.
To help youths discover their natural and God-given talents through “talent, hunts programs” and help them to polish it through training so that they can be positive and achieve their destinies.

The summation of the above mentioned is to create awareness for the youth to bring about a considerable recall level among our youth. To have a good percentage of our forget audience responds to our campaign.
To generate and induce motivational spirits in our youths through programs, seminars, television on messages dealing on subjects and topics of relevant importance.
To engender favorable attitude from our target audience, exit the youth and further lure them to a prosperous gainful and productive living.

CAMPAIGN STRATEGY
We are employing the above-the-line and below-the-line media for this campaign.
ABOVE THE LINE
The campaign would utilize Radio, television, press and outdoor media. These media of communication will run intermittently. The Radio is recommended for its sharp cut across segments of the target audience, and if attributes of quickly impressing message. Television, press and out-door would enforce the message already by Radio.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The target audience cuts across adolescents to adults. However, the topics treated are of interest to all members of the society and families and this makes it a family organization. Since almost every one has been affected by one mistake or another as a youth this NGO is of immense importance to all members of society as a corrective measure.
TOPICS
The topics are chosen in line with the realities of societal ills as faced by the youth of contemporary times, such as; conflicts, drug, alcoholism robbery, sex, unwanted pregnancy, cultism, exam malpractices, prostitution, gender-discrimination, broken homes, living with AIDS, abortion, academic drop-out, peer pressure, early marriage, ethnic discriminations, eloping, succeed, orphanage child abuse, state of the nation etc.
