If the opportunity is still valid, you’ll find contact details for the host organization, including their website, email, and phone number. Reach out to them directly to express your interest and await their response.

Some opportunities are completely free, with food and accommodation provided in exchange for volunteer work. Others may require a daily or monthly contribution fee for food. It’s important to remember that many areas of India are still developing, and volunteering might not always be a free activity.

We encourage you to consider investing your time, energy, and money in local Indian organizations and NGOs to help support the development of the local communities in which they operate.
