mISSION STATEMENT

Veerayatan Volunteer Program (VVP) was initiated in January 2002 to create a bridge for interested and dedicated volunteers to live and work on a Veerayatan campus in India.

Veerayatan established the VVP with the following objectives for its participants:

To create a meaningful, sustainable contribution to the people of India
To obtain clarity of life purpose, or a life “mission statement”
To become compassionate and responsible human beings

Veerayatan established the VVP with the following organizational objectives:

To concentrate the technical and professional skills of volunteers to advance Veerayatan’s three visions of seva (humanitarianism), shiksha (education), and sadhana (inner development) for all of humanity.
To spread the universally-accepted values of compassion, friendship and responsibility to fellow human beings

Veerayatan has accommodated volunteers from all ages (21 and over), nationalities and professional backgrounds. Our volunteers have the most varied backgrounds you can think of! From Indian engineers to French jugglers; college undergraduates to mature moms... Veerayatan has hosted them all! Most importantly, each person has something unique and beneficial to contribute to Veerayatan. For more information, visit our Volunteer Testimonies section.

By participating in the VVP, you will have an amazing opportunity to gain hands-on experience with one of India’s leading non-governmental humanitarian organizations.

Veerayatan has worked with the world’s principal development organizations—Red Cross, UNICEF and UNDP—and has established itself as one of the most honest, efficient and successful organizations in the field.
