Volunteering has always been a key part of Sabuj Sangha’s work. For over three decades, Sabuj Sangha has been working with local and international volunteers. Volunteers play a vital role in fighting poverty. We work with volunteers from international NGOs as well as independent volunteers. We have placements to suit everyone, ranging from two weeks to two years. Volunteers can choose to work in the incredibly scenic Sundarbans or bustling suburban Kolkata. Sabuj Sangha has a range of programmes in which you can get involved, from working in our local hospital to teaching in our model primary school. We currently have two types of volunteers, Professional and Non-Professional. |

Non-Professional If you are a recent school or college graduate and looking to do something different, then why not volunteer your time with Sabuj Sangha. Non-professional volunteers can work in a number of areas ranging from working as teaching assistants in our prep and coaching centres to working in our central office. The typical age profile of non-professional volunteers would be 18-30. Volunteering is an incredibly rewarding experience. It provides you with the opportunity to give something back while at the same time developing your own skills. |
