• Volunteering your time: Even if you can spare time only sporadically, there are many ways you can contribute to the community. CSO Partners can offer opportunities of engagement ranging from starting an awareness campaign in your college/ local community/ office to helping at a community event. Depending on your time and comfort level, we can provide you with the right volunteering opportunity.
• Volunteering your skill: Your specialized set of skills can actively make a difference to someone’s life. For instance your artistic skills could be used to make promotional material for NGOs/ video films for some NGOs, which could be useful in fund-raising activities. We can help skilled professionals such as you with an opportunity to work on social development projects with rural and semi-urban NGOs across India.

I am interested in becoming a change agent.
