[edit] Volunteer Opportunities

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, network, form new friendships, and fun socializing! The Los Angeles volunteers hang out and go to dinners, parties, potlucks, picnics etc. You name it and the volunteers have probably experienced it or would want to take part in it! They are a friendly bunch.

The Los Angeles Action Center volunteers have a telecon every alternate Sunday and meet occasionally, for discussions on the projects that Vibha supports and planning for local fundraising events. The meetings are informal, relaxed and very friendly. As volunteers are fond of saying, 'Change a child's life and see it change your own!' We hope to see you at the next meeting! Please e-mail coordinator@la.vibha.org for directions.

If meetings are not your thing to do, and you want to volunteer for specific tasks, just drop us a note by emailing to coordinator@la.vibha.org and Vibha volunteer will contact you. It's that simple! We are always looking for people with the following skills:

• Creative/writing - develop newsletters, sponsorship kits, author fund raising letters, etc.

• Public relations - design and execute outreach campaigns to reach new volunteers, supporters, patrons, media, etc.

• Project management - help organize local fund raisers and execute national Vibha programs

• Web authoring skills - create and maintain local and national web pages

• Graphic design skills - design fliers, catalogs, pamphlets, posters, brochures, etc.

• Artistic skills - raise funds for Vibha through fund raisers featuring the artist in you

Because every child deserves a great future

Every small step helps. Together we can create a brighter future!
