Could you be a volunteer?

CINI's UK office has a limited number of volunteer places for people with a passion for international development issues and skills in marketing, design, IT, media work and others that could help us ensure the financial sustainability of the charity's programmes to help poor mothers and children in India. You will need to be available for at least two days a week (Monday to Friday) for a minimum of ten weeks. As there are only two staff members in the UK office, volunteers are involved in a wide range of tasks and their contributions are valued very highly. CINI provides volunteers with both internal and external training. We also welcome enquiries from professionals and companies that are prepared to donate skills and time.

Volunteering in India

Programme support interns, researchers, fundraisers or medical electives students can learn hands on at CINI's HQ in Kolkata about CINI's humanitarian and nonprofit development work. This scheme is very competitive and candidates with valuable transferable skills or those who have volunteered for CINI in the UK will be given preference. At present we are particularly interested in candidates who are experienced in fundraising who may be able to help raise funds within India for the projects. All candidates are encouraged to raise funds for the projects before starting their placements and to keep a blog while in the country.

If you are interested, please send your CV to Maneesha at maneeshagaur@cini.org.uk explaining what skills you have to offer and for how long you would be available.
