Shanti Bhavan volunteers play a vital role in breaking the cycle of poverty by contributing to our children’s world-class education. Volunteering here is more than just teaching—it’s a deeply immersive, life-changing experience that’s both challenging and enriching.

Volunteers provide personalized mentorship and academic support, helping students build the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to succeed in school and beyond.

Applicants must be 18 or older and should either hold a college degree, be currently enrolled in an accredited college or university, or bring equivalent professional or life experience.

All applicants take part in two interview rounds. Those accepted attend two virtual training sessions and receive preparation materials in advance. Once on campus, volunteers receive in-depth orientation and ongoing support with lesson planning, subject guidance, and activity coordination.
