Volunteer in India
When you volunteer in India you’ll see the vibrancy and resilience of the people shine through despite acute social problems. Travel in India is a front row seat to the greatest show on Earth. The weird, the wonderful, the ancient and the new all combine to create an unsurpassed travel experience. Volunteering in India is a great chance to really get to know this extraordinary country and its people.
With over a billion people crammed between its borders, the quarter living below the poverty line makes 250 million people. If that’s not incentive enough to volunteer in India we don’t know what is. We work with projects all over the country and some of the most popular ways of volunteering in India include community work in Calcutta, teaching English in Darjeeling and animal rescue work in Delhi. To find out more about travelling in India take a look at the projects and resources below or visit our Gap Year India and Travel India sections.
If you want to volunteer in India but can’t find a project that suits you, check out these other exciting opportunities like community work in The Philippines, working with Orang-utans in Malaysia, conserving Thailand's marine life and teaching English in India.
