India

Volunteers in India are responsible for the children’s private education of not only scholastic growth, but personal and physical growth as well. Typical duties of a volunteer include teaching classes (basic hygiene, basic English, basic math, etc.), maintaining child records, organizing weekly activities (meals, sports, drama, music, travel), etc. The volunteers are expected to put in approximately seven hours a day, five days a week in program implementation and twice a month on Saturdays for 3 hours to take the children on fieldtrips (strictly fun!!).

There is a minimum two month commitment time required for each volunteer (special exceptions permitted).  There are MANY holidays in India, which allows volunteers to go on weekend trips out of Mumbai to explore India. One! provides food and accommodation for its volunteers. This provided, volunteers are able to give more time and energy to the children who really need it. Volunteering for One! is a full-time job, but a job that is more satisfying than any other!

We  have a Health Program in India which is administered by volunteers in the Health Services field – nurses, dentists, etc. If you have an interest in this area please send your contact information to the Volunteer Co-ordinator, in order to receive additional  information for this area. The minimum volunteer commitment time for volunteers is waived for the Health Program volunteers.
