Volunteering

Volunteering or Volunteerism may be defined as contributing one's time, skills or talents for charitable, educational, social or other worthwhile purposes, usually in one's community or the society, freely and without regard for compensation.

Individuals

You can apply to volunteer for a few hours, few days, a few weeks, a few months or even longer. ATCT Programs presents different opportunities for volunteers according to your available time, interests, skills and expertise.

You may be thinking what type of work you can do while thinking about volunteering. In assigning work to volunteers, ATCT takes into account your interest, expertise, time and your social and cultural and language background to have maximum utilization of your potential for service to humanity. Here are a few examples of ways that volunteers can contribute to ATCT

• ATCT has weekly Healthcare awareness and Educational programs apart from periodic major events like General or specialized Medical Camps, Immunization drives and Educational Workshops in our target areas. To effectively implement our programs at the grass root level, we are always in a constant need of your assistance. You can be of great help to us and the community at large while rendering your services. Helping people who need us gives immense pleasure and satisfaction when you see the smile and happiness of the people you helped. Please refer to our program details and calendar of upcoming events and contact us without any hesitation if you are interested to help poor and needy.
• Our Medical Professional friends can help us in organizing and executing effectively General as well as Specialised Medical camps. You can also help us in serving the community by providing free or discounted services at your specialized centers for the people referred from the target area of the ATCT's activities for various Healthcare programs.
• You can help us in conducting training workshops on issues like healthcare, education, nutrition, hygiene, sanitation, employment and empowerment to improve overall quality of life of the people residing in the remote tribal areas and slums. We expect them to be self-sufficient rather than be dependent on the help from us. We request you to go through our program index and suggest relevant activities for the particular target group and contact us. We will highly appreciate your gesture to help.
• We together can create excellent ambience of our centers at locations in slums and remote tribal areas with team efforts and set an example for the community to work towards clean living surroundings.

Off-Site Work

• We know that some time even if you wish to work but when you are far away and you may not be in a position to volunteer our on-site activities. Still you can help us in our off-site activities.
• You can share your knowledge to us on the relevant programs of ATCT and guide us on effective needs assessment, planning, implementation and monitoring of our programs.
• You can share your expertise on the issues of Healthcare and Education in community for us to have larger impact of our programs.
• You can help us in analysis of the evidence of the activities of ATCT and your feedback and suggestions are always valued by us.
• You can help us in preparing documents, publications and translations of the material to have impact in the community.
• At ATCT we strongly believe that the desired changes in the lives of this underprivileged section of society around us will come, only when more and more privileged people proactively come forward and participate in finding solutions to these issues of healthcare and Education.
