Our volunteers are our
everyday heroes

As on date, we have over 4,600 active volunteers across India working on a wide variety of projects – a growing community of young citizens who support the cause.

Our volunteers come from a diverse range of backgrounds – we have students as well as working professionals from across various disciplines. All of them are bound by a common purpose – to ensure happier childhoods for India’s children!

Click here to go back to the section on volunteering options at CRY, select the one you’d like to apply for and click on the button to start your application process.

We endeavor to respond to all volunteering requests within 5-7 working days of closing the application process.

As a premier child rights organization, we select our volunteers and interns on the basis of their alignment with CRY’s vision of ensuring happier childhoods as well as their suitability for the role they’ve applied for.

You don’t need to have prior volunteering experience to become a CRY volunteer. At CRY, we believe everyone can make a difference in their own special way and we look forward to having you on board!

Of course! We’d love to have you on board as a CRY volunteer, no matter where you come from. However, we will be unable to bear your travel, visa and stay expenses so please do provision for the same at your end.

Absolutely! You can choose to become a remote volunteer and work on a variety of impactful projects from the comfort of your own home.

You should be aged 18 years or above to apply for most of the volunteering programs that CRY has to offer. However, if you’re below 18 years of age, you can still apply to become a student volunteer – a guided experience that will need parental consent before initiation.

Our volunteering programs are definitely structured to ensure maximum impact and facilitate learning but they do allow for a significant deal of flexibility by enabling the co-curation of the volunteering experience with the candidates themselves. We also take your academic/professional time commitments into consideration while planning for your experience so that you do not face a disruption of any kind.

During your application process, you can indicate how many hours per week you’d be able to commit to volunteering with CRY. We’ll design your experience basis your availability accordingly.

Being a non-profit, CRY internships are not paid – however, all your field work expenses will be reimbursed on actuals.

No – all expenses undertaken by you through the course of your work as a CRY volunteer will be reimbursed by CRY on actuals.

CRY will induct you into the program and ensure that you have a detailed understanding of the organization as well as your role as a volunteer. You will have a Volunteer Action manager to speak with whenever you have a doubt or need guidance on your plan of action. You will also receive regular feedback on your progress and will be mentored to build your leadership skills.

At the successful completion of your tenure with CRY as a volunteer, you’ll receive a formal certificate of acknowledgement that can be submitted as a part of your future college/job applications.

We understand if you need to leave your volunteering program earlier than expected due to circumstances outside of your control. Just have a chat with your Volunteer Action manager on your reasons for leaving the program midway and discuss suitable alternatives. However if you do not give such advance notice, we’ll be unable to issue you a formal certificate of acknowledgement of your volunteering experience with CRY.

Please send us an email on volunteer@crymail.org with your queries.
