    Being a volunteer at Kalkeri Sangeet Vidyalaya is an incredibly rewarding experience and a unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children and their families here in Kalkeri.

    KSV students come from a rural background with rare opportunities to develop their creative skills. Our Community Arts Volunteer's priority is to encourage the children to realise their potential and improve their well-being through projects revolving around different kinds of cultural activities: creative arts, music, dance, drama, film, photography and other performing arts.

    As a Community Arts Volunteer, you will be coordinating and implementing project-based initiatives, liaising with the Heads of Academic and Performing Arts, our local teachers and other volunteers. You will also be actively involved with arts-based activities and working directly with children through our Clubs and After-School programs.

    You will have significant freedom to share your passion for art and education, while receiving training and support throughout your stay at KSV.

    Responsibilities:

    • Teach Art classes to students aged 6 to 16
    • Organize art activities for the children's Clubs and After-School program
    • Arouse the children's creative and artistic sense

    Requirements:

    • Minimum commitment of 1 year
    • Previous experience or Art degree - desirable
    • Strong creative skills
    • Interest in art and willingness to share your knowledge
    • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
    • Experience with children
    • Self-starter
    • Strong interest in community projects, education and child development

    Benefits of volunteering with us:

    • Gain valuable skills and a unique NGO experience in India
    • Be part of an amazing community that aims at making a positive change
    • Induction, training and on-going support from our team members
    • Housing and food (3 times a day) provided on site
