A volunteer can be anybody. There are no age limits to being a volunteer, no preferred categories, no salary specifications, no special degrees or work experience. All that is required is a dedication to the cause, sincerity about the work that one is doing and commitment to a regular and sustained effort with the organization. You could volunteer to serve in Orphanages, Old Age Homes, Help-lines, Schools, Relief Efforts, NGOs etc. The causes are endless, opportunities are endless and the need is endless.

To volunteer, all you have to do is to download an application form, fill it and email it giving an indication of your interest areas and time availability for volunteering.

At present iVolunteer is able to service your needs only if you reside in or want to volunteer in Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi or Mumbai. Volunteer centers in these cities will guide you in finding just the right organization to volunteer for.
