Volunteering In India
As we are only a small charity, volunteers are a vital part of everything we do. Volunteers are required all year round; some of the jobs include helping run 'The Mango House', our day care center for children. You might also like to help sort clothes, provide local slums with fruit, possibly teach or create activities and events for the children. Do you have what it takes to volunteer for us? It doesn't matter if you're 18 or 80; we have had a huge range of volunteers help us, the eldest being 73 so age isn't a factor. If you're fit and healthy and thnk you can work in difficult conditions for at least three months? then please get in touch. The next few pages will hopefully give you an idea of what we need and what is involved in becoming a volunteer for Children Walking Tall.

1. Application Form Please use this form to let us now that you are interested in volunteering. Once we receive a form, we will than send out a standard email giving you a little more details about what's involved. If you have any questions, please write them down in the other information field.
   
2. CRB Check As we are a British charity, we want to uphold the safest environment for the children; therefore we request all volunteers to have a police check (CRB) carried out. If you are not British, please contact your local police station to find out how to apply for these in your country.
   
3. Positions This isn't a complete list but will give you an idea of what we need. If you have a skill, then we can put it to use.
   
4. Goa, India, If you have a question then perhaps the answer is here. India might initially seem a daunting place to be. Hhopefully some of the details on this page will put your mind at ease....
   
5. Experiences, You won'e be our first volunteer, so perhaps reading what previous volunteers thought might give you an idea of what to expect. We request that all volunteers write a little bit before they leave to let new volunteers know what to expect.
