Questions asked by Volunteers

What forms of volunteering would be available on indiavolunteerportal.org

Sharing time with communities
This is the simplest form of volunteering and we would encourage you to spend time with the communities. You can see many such opportunities across districts soon.

Management Competency
This is one area, where indiavolunteerportal.org will invest substantially. We would like corporate volunteers to work more on core competency volunteering than just sharing time because NGOs can gain more here.

Skill based volunteering
The answer to eradicate poverty is not just in terms of educating the children today. It is important that we provide livelihood opportunities to yesterday's children and also build skills in today's children. This means you can volunteer to share skills in plumbing, carpentry, electrical repairs...or if you are
a magician, you can share your tricks with underprivileged children / youth and help them make a vocation out of it.

Pledges and advocacy
India had 40000 tigers in 1900. Today, we have 1400. Which means, on an average, we have lost one tiger a day, in the last 109 years. We would like you to raise the voice by taking a pledge to save the tiger. And we will take this voice to just everyone, building pressure. And this pledge will not be a one month drive or three months drive. It will be there till it has to be there.
