“Volunteers don’t necessarily have time, but they have heart. As Volunteer, you will learn not just more about the needs of others, you will also learn more about your own needs and you will discover that in helping other, you help yourself most of all.

A Volunteer can be anybody. There is no age limit to begin a volunteer, no preferred categories, no salary specification, no special degree or work experience. All that is required is a dedication to the cause, sincerity about the work that one in doing and commitment to a regular and sustained efforts with the organization.” 

– MAHATAMA GANDHI

 

Volunteering in different ways

 

With Your Network

Talk to 10: Beyond money and material, spread the word around in your own network of friends, family and colleagues to get more people to take some positive action. It could be about connecting to wholesalers and retail chains for unsold material/dead inventory or connecting with transporters for pro bono/ subsidized services.

 

Working with children

‘School to School’ initiative engages with urban schools, kids, teachers & parents. You can reach out to schools to organize sessions, stalls, exposure visits and collection drives for us.

Short supply of School material is a constant challenge. Pitch in by organizing school material specific collection drives or connect us to stationery manufacturers.

​

Disclaimer

Volunteers usually don’t get a certificate because we believe Volunteering is about doing something selflessly. While we value your time and efforts, certificates are only issued for internship which is for 1 month at least and involves working full time with the team.

Please note that contributing your surplus material is not volunteering.  If you are from a corporate/school/college/institution and want to involve your team in volunteering.
