Become a Volunteer

Join us. Transform lives. Enrich your own.

Aashray Care Home has long welcomed volunteers—both local and international—who bring energy, skills, compassion, and new ideas. We offer safe, supported, meaningful opportunities year-round. If you believe in hope, dignity, and care, then you have a place here.

What We Offer

- On-Campus Volunteering with Accommodation & Meals: For those coming from outside Jaipur (or abroad), we provide on-campus lodging, proper meals, and safe living arrangements. Whether you stay a few weeks or several months, we ensure your comfort and well-being.
- Mentorship, Learning & Support: Every volunteer is paired with a mentor. You’ll receive orientation, ongoing guidance, and support in your tasks and responsibilities. It’s more than volunteering—it’s learning and growing together.
- Flexible Roles & Projects: We believe all skills matter. You might help with direct care, educational support, health-awareness, creative workshops, documentation, digital media, or community outreach. Based on your interests, we match you to roles where you can make the greatest impact.
- Cultural Exchange & Real Connection: At Aashray, we don’t just invite help—we welcome friendship. Shared meals, celebrations, walks, storytelling—these are moments where volunteers and children connect across backgrounds, building understanding and compassion.

How You Can Help

Here are practical ways to volunteer. Pick what feels right for you:

- Assist in daily care: cooking, serving meals, distributing medication, laundry, cleaning
- Spend time with children: homework help, storytelling, art & crafts, playtime, games
- Lead or support workshops: hygiene, nutrition, HIV awareness, life skills, arts, sports
- Create memories: organize and help with birthday celebrations, outings, creative events

Logistics & Commitments

Duration & Timing: Stays from 1-week, 1-month, or longer. We have ongoing need, so flexible schedules are welcome.

Orientation & Safety: Before you begin, you’ll receive a volunteer orientation, background checks (if required), and briefings in child protection, safety, and our code of conduct.
