Guidelines
Volunteering in India is an exciting opportunity but it is one that needs to be taken seriously. Out of respect for the people we are helping, the volunteers you live with, and the locals that live in our neighborhood, the following is a list of guidelines and requirements which we expect all our volunteers to follow.
If you have any questions about these guidelines, please contact us.
- Be sensitive to the culture and beliefs of all the people around you.
- Respect the local dress code at all times.
- Cause no public disturbance.
- The dealing, use or possession of soft/hard drugs by guests or their visitors is strictly forbidden and shall lead to immediate eviction of the volunteer.
- Not become involved in any illegal activities.
- Inform us if you are sick or unable to work so we can make any arrangements.
- Do not swear in the office or in the communities/projects.
- Do not invite strangers into the office/project sites without permission.
- Show respect to all those you are working with and for (including other volunteers).
- Smoking inside our accommodations is strictly prohibited.
