This study is to address the narratives and meanings of participatory activities of young women and girls, secretary of active youth NGOs in Isfahan province to examine what social contexts and reasons lead these girls to this type of collective and participatory activities.
Relying on the theoretical approach of all types of participation from formal participation to real participation in the 8-step ladder of Arnstein and according to the method of thematic narrative analysis from the perspective of Katherine Riessman, among 38 girls and young women secretaries of active youth NGOs in Isfahan province, the narratives of 22 of them were collected, coded and categorized. Except for one of them, these girls had undergraduate and graduate education, and most of them had studied humanities and social sciences. For them, especially those educated in the humanities, there are few job opportunities. On the other hand, nearly 70% of young girls between the ages of 25 and 32 in this study were single. These conditions have created suitable grounds for encouraging girls to form non-governmental organizations and formalizing their presence in society. Participatory experiences outside of family relationships and communication with quasi-governmental organizations, Basij and government organizations have been effective in the activities of the daughters of the founder of NGOs. These fields and their familiarity with the community issues of the city and their neighborhoods, has led them to social participation in the form of registration and activity in it.

In this paper, (youth NGOs) in Iran are studied in documentation and library methods. we try to express the role and importance of youth NGOs in the national interests. YNGOs are non-profit and voluntary youth activities in terms of welfare and public services. By the definition of the United Nations, NGOs are organizations to reduce pain and enhance the interests of the poor and protecting the environment, providing social services and development indicators. Due to the efforts of NGOs in humanitarian and food aid, medical care, clothing and other necessities in case of events that cause damage to natural factors and human societies, including war and acts of terrorism or extremist groups, it should be said that they are of great important. Therefore, the public measures, particularly by youth NGOs in other countries of the world for natural influence foreign audiences, will share the understanding of the country's philanthropic programs for others.
