Vibha volunteers are at the heart of the organization. Our volunteers work together to create a brighter future for thousands of underprivileged children in India and the US. Most of the Vibha volunteers are working professionals in the US and some are also students at various colleges. Volunteering for Vibha is also fun! It gives you the opportunity to meet new people, make new acquaintances and form new friendships! Vibha volunteers are a friendly bunch!!

What do volunteers do? Volunteers organize events, drives and campaigns in Twin Cities, Minnesota and create awareness about the cause, as well as raise much needed funds to support grassroots projects in India. To maximize our impact, we select projects from all possible spheres of influence that can affect an underprivileged child - right from poverty to education to health care to canvassing for changes in government policies.

[edit] Volunteer Meetings

The Minnesota Action Center volunteers meet every other Week, for discussions on the projects that Vibha supports and planning for local fund raising events. The meetings are informal, relaxed and very friendly. Many of the volunteers who are with Vibha today just decided to show up at a meeting. Details about upcoming volunteer meetings are listed on the right sidebar.

We hope to see you at the next meeting! Please check out our events page for the complete list of fund raising and fun events planned for this year or stop by any of our booths and learn more about us.
