Internship / Volunteer Options for Indians
“How You Can Join”
Option 1:
Direct Apply (Individual Applicants)
If you’re applying on your own (not through an institute), you can directly apply as an intern/volunteer with Prayasam.
• One-time participation fee: ₹6,000/- (This is a sponsorship amount towards supporting a child for one year).
• You’ll work with us in programme areas, contribute meaningful hours, and receive a certificate on completion.
Option 2:
Partnered Institute Interns
Students from partnered institutions, colleges or universities can apply through their institution. A recommendation letter from your college is required.
Instead of the fee, you must organise a minimum of 15 donors — each contributing ₹365/- towards our Power of One programme (₹365 equals ₹1 a day to empower a student).
This helps sustain community programmes and gives you a collaborative fundraising experience. (Link “Power of One” )

If you’re a student from an institute not partnered with Prayasam, you’re welcome to apply directly — with the same ₹6,000/- participation fee as the direct individual applicants.
