Volunteers are an integral part of the KOTHIYA’s community. Every volunteer brings with them a different background and skill set but they all share an enthusiasm for cultural immersion and exchange as well as a desire to effect a positive change on the SRKRSS students, teachers, and local communities.

In the past, volunteers have been involved in a variety of activities at the KOTHIYA’s schools including teaching English, leading Youth Empowerment classes, updating teaching methods, demonstrating interactive science experiments, creating a student operated photo blog and many more. At the head office, KOTHIYA’s volunteers have helped with fundraising strategy, marketing and brand management, volunteer coordination, and general administration. KOTHIYA’s works with volunteers to identify strengths and passions that can be shared with the KOTHIYA’s community to create a volunteer-ship that will leave a lasting effect on the lives of everyone involved.

KOTHIYA’s welcomes the involvement of long term volunteers (1 year preferred) who would like to teach English and/or assist teachers at the KOTHIYA’s schools teach in English rather than Hindi.

Requirements:

• People who wish to volunteer in this capacity should be hard-working, flexible individuals who enjoy working with a variety of people.
• Volunteers should be prepared to work with students and teachers at various levels of proficiency in English.
• Previous teaching experience or a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification is an advantage, but may not be necessary depending on the individual’s past experiences and enthusiasm for KOTHIYA’s mission and goals.
• Most importantly, volunteers must be committed to KOTHIYA’s vision of developing rural areas through the education and empowerment of rural children. The desire to make a difference in the life of children is the most important quality for a volunteer to have.
• Volunteers will be provided room and board. If you think you may be interested in volunteering for SRKRSS, please contact us with any questions and we’ll be happy to answer all your queries.
