My experience working with Volunteer for India was an enriching learning curve. I was inspired to see a team of 60+ volunteers from diverse backgrounds and disciplines working towards building a foundation of knowledge system in our small ways to make a change. The journey from our first introductory session to our final submission has taught me learning has no boundaries.

I was a part of the workshop "Environmental leadership through Volunteerism" which was organized by Volunteer for India. Our team spoke to the women of the village about menstruation and hygiene. Working on the ground level boosted up my confidence, and made me realize the difference between reality on the ground level and what's shown to the world. I'm very grateful for the opportunity and platform VFI provided me with.

I was always passionate about helping with mental and emotional well being and got more so concerned when the Covid-19 lockdown started. I wanted to help and so when I came across VFI’s listening circle initiative, I jumped right in. This journey has not only taught me a lot about a topic which is not very talked about but has also given me some friends for life who are passionate about the same cause. And am glad that I stumbled upon VFI and it’s mentors who helped me make myself useful and help others in the process.

Working under Volunteer for India in projects like Listening Circles gave me new perspectives, thoughts, learnings. VFI is constantly Upgrading volunteerism to next level in Iindia.

Volunteering with VFI gave me the opportunity to meet new, interesting and intelligent people. It helped me to explore my skills throughout the whole workshop. I believe that Youth are the generation who have power to lead the society in the right direction, and they are a major force who can bring changes.  I enjoyed the whole program but my favorite part during this volunteering experience was the interaction with the young leaders of that area. I enjoyed their participation very much.
