The goal of our community
development projects is to develop skills and
self-confidence among deprived men and women
of India who are frequently bereft of their
role and rights in the community. Working with
anti-drug centers and centers for outreach-training,
informal education, skill-development, and women's
development, volunteers can enrich the community
and provide its people with new skills and opportunities.
This project provides rewarding
and challenging opportunities to all the volunteers
who wish to help India’s needy people.
At first, you will work with both the Indian
staff and local volunteers who will provide
you the conceptual framework regarding how to
cooperate the rural Indian people. Later, you
and our volunteer staff will explore the project
sites where many rural men and women are involved
in several activities. You will also participate
in community development activities, such as
integrated farming, environmental education,
and health education.
Technical work includes designing
programs, building training programs, assisting
in community research, and arranging teaching
and training manuals for others. As a volunteer

participate in various skill development activities,
training, and teaching programs. The placement

Arrangement of room/food/supervision
RCDP-India makes appropriate provision for food, room and
supervision for its volunteers from the very beginning of their arrival to the
country. During the first week of language and cultural immersion program, volunteers
stay in RCDP’s hostel in Gurgaon (Delhi) where cooks prepare a variety
of Indian food (Nan, curry, Dal, chapatti, rice and pickle). During their volunteering
programs in Delhi and Banglore, volunteers’ accommodation and food management
is provided by a host family. However, volunteers joining RCDP-India’s
orphanage program stay with the children in a hostel. RCDP makes provision of
a separate room along with the shower facility in both the host family and hostel
accommodation. RCDP’s staff visit visits volunteers in their respective
placement in every two week to acknowledge the feedback, volunteers’ progress
