Training Camp for Adolescent Girls in Rajasthan
This is an exceptional opportunity for Indian girls who have never been enrolled in school to  receive comprehensive education up to a 5th grade level at an intensive six month training camp. The camp needs volunteers to teach, assist and lead activities within the school and organize special workshops for the young women that focus on positive skill building. Volunteers will act as positive role models for the students helping them to feel secure with their new education and ready to be leaders of their own future!
Volunteer Responsibilities
A majority of the volunteer’s time will be dedicated to educating the girls in Math, English and computers. Volunteers will also lead sports training and creativity exercises.
Location
Volunteers will be in the state of Rajasthan, the most often visited region of India.
Orientation
Volunteers will be picked up from the airport in Delhi and stay the first night in a hotel arranged by CCI. Participants will then be transported to Jaipur for the beginning of their orientation. During your four-day orientation you will dine one night with a local, English speaking family, learn about cultural differences, health and safety, local customs and language, as well as any additional information you will need to know for your project. You will also have a guided tour to the Amber Fort with an elephant ride.
Accommodation and Meals
Volunteers will stay in “base-camps” where all meals are prepared by project staff. There will be many vegetarian options available, and meat is generally prepared 2-3 times per week.
Additional Activities
The following activities are included in the 4 and 8 week programs:
- Camel Safari

Volunteers staying for 8 weeks or longer will also go on a tiger safari. All transportation to and from the excursions are included.
