Do fill the Volunteer Form at http://www.karmayog.org/volunteers (2 different forms for those in Mumbai and those outside Mumbai) as that would give us a better idea of your skills and interest. In case you have already filled the form, do let us know your volavl No. Below is a list of volunteering possibilities at Karmayog. However if you have something specific in your mind which you would like to implement for or through Karmayog, do let us know as that would be our first preference. If you are in the Fort area between 11 am - 5 pm (Mon. - Fri.) or between 11 am - 3 pm (Sat.), please drop by at our office, so that we can discuss possibilities in person. Our office address and directions are available in the Contact Us link from the Karmayog homepage. ------------------------------------------- Volunteering Possibilities at Karmayog We would be happy to pay actuals (travel, etc.) and a nominal amount for each of the listed activities.
