The best way to make a meaningful contribution is to get involved in VSEI activities. And there are many ways in which a volunteer can help VSEI. The scope of VSEI activities is very wide, ranging from planning and assisting a project, fund-raising, to visiting projects in India. Volunteers organize various events throughout the year not only to help VSEI raise funds but also to make people aware of VSEI activities. After a project is funded, it is extremely important to monitor its progress. Volunteers are also involved in planning and monitoring progress of the projects adopted by their local chapters. We always welcome new ideas to improve the scope of work by VSEI local chapters. We encourage you to become a part of VSEI.

Help in Fundraising

Monetary support to projects in India comes largely from the fund-rasining efforts of VSEI in the USA. VSEI volunteers use their personal contacts and request people for donations. VSEI also organizes various cultural events to raise funds. We need individuals/groups who would be willing to help VSEI in these ways.

Adopt and Visit Projects

VSEI supports projects in different parts of India and invites the help of volunteers who will help in following up projects. Volunteers can visit projects during their visits to India. This helps VSEI assess the progress of projects and also the utilization of funds given by VSEI. For examples of reports of our volunteers visits, Click on the following.

You can also plan a project yourself and submit a proposal for the approval of VSEI.

Start a local VSEI Chapter

It is not difficult to start a VSEI chapter at your institution/location. What you need to start a local chapter is enthusiasm amongst people and willingness to work towards goals set by VSEI. Please contact us to get more information.
