Volunteer with us

Come for a week. Some people never really leave.

Our schools and plantations are run by a small team and the communities around them. Time, patience and a willingness to listen are worth more here than any single skill.

Chapter 01 — Why volunteer

Community photograph 6 from Nirvanavan Foundation's work in Alwar, Rajasthan

Work directly with the children and families at the centre of everything we do.

Nirvanavan Foundation’s volunteer program lets you freely offer your time, labour and skills — without compensation — to support a social, environmental or community cause. We gain the help we need to achieve our mission, and you gain new skills, real-world experience and community connections that last beyond your stay.

Whether you can give a day, a week or a season, we will find honest work for you and make sure you understand the community you are joining. Every volunteer receives a certificate at the end of the program.

Chapter 02 — Ways to help

Education support

Teach alongside our staff, help shape the activity-based curriculum, or bring materials and skills into the classroom.

Community work

Spend time with the villages we work in — supporting self-help groups, livelihood training and health outreach.

Events & workshops

Help organise plantation drives, awareness campaigns, cultural evenings and school events.

Fundraising & storytelling

Write, photograph, translate or fundraise so more people understand what happens in Alwar.

Chapter 03 — Campus partnership

A standing MOU with Government College, Kherthal.

Nirvanavan Foundation has signed an MOU with Government College, Kherthal, opening volunteer placements to its undergraduate and postgraduate students. Every student receives a certificate on completing their assigned work with us.
