Onsite Volunteering
Thank you for your interest in joining our team. We are always looking for passionate and talented volunteers to join our team of ever growing community of volunteers. Since we work directly with the under-privileged girls, we are able to offer volunteers with opportunities to visit our program sites and make their contributions on the ground.
Depending on the interest, skills and time availability of the volunteer, we will customize the assignment. Once you apply, you will be working closely with our ‘Program Site’ coordinator to create your custom assignment and plan your trip.
As a volunteer, you will be required to pay for your travel to the program site. In some cases, you might be required to pay for your accommodation too. On request, we can help make the accommodation arrangement.
Your onsite volunteering assignment can include the following for the girls in our ‘Support-A-Girl’ Program:
- Teach English and other subjects / topics (for a minimum of one week)
- Provide career coaching and mentoring to girls who are 14+ years old
- Host medical and dental health clinics
Ready to give back on the ground?
Onsite volunteering assignments require meticulous planning, online research and coordination prior to the visit, so plan for at least 40 hours of this work, starting at least 3 months before your actual onsite visit.
If your employer supports such volunteering activities as part of their ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ program, you might be eligible to get reimbursed for the time and money you spend on such assignments. We can provide the required documentation to support your claim.
Thanks again for considering onsite volunteering as an option for giving back. Please contact us today to start planning your assignment or if you need additional information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anyone with skills and a few hours to spare — students, working professionals and retirees. You can volunteer remotely (virtual) or at our programme sites in India (onsite). There is no fee to volunteer, and we match you to a role based on your skills and availability.
Virtual roles are flexible — most volunteers give a few hours a week. Onsite roles require a minimum of one week at a programme site. We agree the schedule with you before you start so it fits around your life.
Not always. Many roles (social media, newsletter, fundraising) need enthusiasm more than experience; others (legal, accounting, medical, teaching) require relevant qualifications, which we verify. We provide a short brief and support for every role.
Both. Virtual volunteering can be done from anywhere in the world. Onsite volunteering takes place at our programme sites in India (for example, the Garbhanga forest villages of Assam).
