Ways to Intern & Volunteer

At Prayasam, we welcome passionate young changemakers, learners and volunteers from across Globe to join us in empowering communities and creating real impact. You can contribute through internship or volunteering and gain meaningful experience, while making a difference.

Internship / Volunteer Options

“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” text to https://prayasam.org/power-of-one/)
certificate provided upon completion.

Option 3:
Non-Partnered Institute Applicants

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.

Fee helps fund sponsorship and community work; certificate provided upon completion.
