Volunteer for India

Since its inception, Volunteer for India (VFI) has been a transformative force in the realm of volunteerism, creating widespread impact across communities and inspiring a new generation of changemakers. Through its flagship initiative, the Volship Fellowship, VFI has recruited 571 fellows and leaders, who have driven meaningful change at the grassroots level. This passionate group of leaders has mobilized over 32,209 volunteers across India, collectively dedicating 273,342 hours towards impactful causes. Together, they have touched the lives of 144,824 beneficiaries through 1,191 events and collaborated with 429 partner organizations to amplify the impact. The numbers reflect VFI’s remarkable reach, but the real stories bring its impact to life. From environmental clean-ups on India’s coastlines to educational initiatives for underprivileged children, and awareness campaigns on health and nutrition, VFI’s efforts have reached diverse communities. In Chennai, VFI fellows organized a beach cleanup that not only cleared hundreds of kilograms of waste but inspired local residents to take regular action for cleaner shores. In rural Maharashtra, a fellow launched health camps and awareness sessions on anemia, benefiting hundreds of young women with critical health information. Each story reflects the ripple effect VFI has created—empowering volunteers, uplifting communities, and inspiring countless people to contribute toward a more inclusive, compassionate India. Volunteer for India continues to build a stronger ecosystem for volunteerism, showing that every hour, every volunteer, and every initiative has the power to transform lives and drive sustainable change.
