Host an "India Fellow"

iVolunteer has instituted a rural fellowship programme 'India Fellow' for young students across North, West and South India. This is a summer fellowship programme designed to sensitize young under graduate/graduate students to the work of rural NGOs and the challenges faced in the development sector. As part of the fellowship, students are selected to undertake a 6-week placement in pairs with a rural NGO, sharing their skills by living and working with the rural communities for the entire period.

We invite non-profits to host a fellow and provide young Indians an opportunity to connect with rural India. As a Host NGO, you have only to design a challenging project for 'India Fellow' and provide Fellows with modest accommodation during the 6 week period of the fellowship.
