Helping young people imagine who they could become

Human capital potential starts at believing what is possible. We are a research-and-practice collective working on that layer.

Story From the Field

Toolkits, observations, and field notes from our programs and research.

How We Work

We help young people

  • Identify strengths
  • Build confidence through evidence
  • Make decisions based on fit, not just expectation

We measure

before, during, and after our programs so we can see what moves, what does not, and for whom.

We design programs with community partners

for young people the labor market often overlooks such as rural youth, first-generation jobseekers, and young people without strong credentials.

How We Think About the Work

Agency is observed, in how behaviour adapts.

CAN I? Capability beliefs

Efficacy: for the work, for the process, Malleability belief, Psychological capital, Self-esteem

WILL I? Ownership

Autonomy, Possible selves, Values, Agency thinking

HOW DO I? Pathways & volition

If-then plans, Mental contrasting, Pathways thinking, Proximal goals

DOES THE WORLD RESPOND? Standing

Outcome expectations, Critical consciousness, Belonging, Collective efficacy, Proxy agency

This public framework communicates the system logic without disclosing proprietary dimensions, items, scoring models, weights, or decision rules.

You might be working on the same problem.

Whether you run programs, fund research, or design tools — if you're working on what young Indonesians believe is possible for them, we want to know you.

Implementation Partner

Where Rasira studies the psychological layer, Spring builds the tools young people use to act on it.

Career preparation platform for Indonesian youth (CV review, job simulation, personality assessment). Together: the research that informs the practice, and the practice that generates the research.

Direct Support · Independent Research

Rasira doesn't run ads. We don't have a government grant yet. What we have is field time, careful questions, and the conviction that the psychological layer of human capital matters.

Every donation keeps a researcher in the field, a facilitator in a community, and a finding on its way to the people who can use it.
