SDF assigns a supervisor to each volunteer to provide guidance and support in their work. Volunteers are required to maintain regular communication with their supervisor and provide regular progress reports.
Volunteering with SDF involves working in a multicultural and multilingual environment, and it's important to be open to working with people from diverse backgrounds. Volunteers should be able to communicate effectively in Hindi, English, and the local language.
At SDF, we provide reimbursement for travel, meals, and accommodations for volunteers while they are participating in our programs. However, some expenses related to their work, such as transportation to and from their placement site, may need to be covered by volunteers. Additionally, we have a hybrid workplace policy and HR policies in place for both volunteers and employees that apply to all. Therefore, all volunteers are expected to follow these policies.
The application process for becoming a volunteer with SDF involves filling out an online application form, providing relevant documents and references, and attending an interview.
SDF welcomes volunteers from diverse backgrounds and experience levels, regardless of age, caste, socioeconomic status, etc. The specific skills and qualifications required to volunteer depend on the nature of the opportunity. However, we offer opportunities that accommodate a range of skills, so anyone can participate in making a difference.
Volunteers play a vital role in supporting SDF's work by offering their skills, time, and energy to advance the organization's mission. They help to implement our programs, raise awareness, mobilize resources, and provide direct support to communities.
