LTS is a youth movement mainly for students in school and college. It has a vibrant history of five and half decades, during which it has become part of life for many young people in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal. It was began in Kurseong, Darjeeling, West Bengal by a group of students at Goethals’ Memorial School run by the Christian Brothers in 1959.

LTS challenges and motivates the youth to rise above all odds and to become great leaders. It ignites their generosity that sets them off on the path of selfless service. Nurturing their inborn talents and inculcating humanitarian values, LTS brings out the best in them. In the process, the vision of LTS becomes a way of life – for life. The mission of LTS is to form leaders for tomorrow who will join hands with God and people of good will to heal our broken world. LTS aims to transform the young in the areas of personality development, leadership skills, social awareness and social responsibility that leads to social development.
