Community Development
The goal of community development project is to develop skills and self-confidence among deprived men and women of India who are frequently bereft of their roles 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 with 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.
