Tailored placements ensure that your internship aligns with your goals while giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in a city where heritage and ambition coexist.

India is one of life’s must-see mysteries. The contrast between the ancient gods and the modern high rises leaves one perplexed, but happy to have dipped a toe in its currents. India internship options are vast, with the country hosting placements in diverse areas as well as custom positions. India is easy to navigate from a setup standpoint, as there is a get-it-down spirit and government regulations are reasonable and negotiable. Some fun projects to consider are event planning positions that get you out and about the cities. Photography work is another great option. We can pair you with a studio or freelancer and you can create a meaningful portfolio. Excursions to consider include the famed Taj Mahal. Along with the design and history, what makes India a unique experience is its contrast to the low-brow villages just outside the gates. Mix and mingle with Hindus and Muslims living side by side and learn how history brought them together against the backdrop of a great world icon.

The project helps disadvantaged populations that are marginalized for reasons out of their control. While there are a variety of issues in the community, the project has a few focus areas where it believes it can make the greatest difference. The main projects are assisting in a special needs school, teaching sports, and teaching at a slums outreach program. When volunteering in the special needs school and at the slums outreach program, volunteers help children gain confidence in their abilities to grow and learn.

If teaching is your passion, you should travel to India to teach English to disadvantaged children and immerse yourself in the colourful local culture and the beauty of the surrounding tropical beaches. Interns live in the fascinating area of Kerala and assist local educators in teaching disadvantaged children from poverty stricken communities. You will be working in local slum schools and care centers, assisting children with extra lessons to help improve their English skills. After completing the first 12 weeks on the internship interns will undertake their 12-week work placement where they will assist the GVI team in managing the operations of our program. After successfully completing the internship, interns may be given the opportunity to work for GVI or selected partners.

Empower, educate, and uplift — join our Women Empowerment Volunteer Program in India and be part of a powerful movement helping women gain confidence, skills, and independence. Through this meaningful volunteer experience with Volunteering Journeys, you’ll work closely with women and girls from underprivileged backgrounds to promote gender equality, education, and self-sufficiency. India is a country of incredible diversity and deep traditions, but many women, especially in rural and low-income urban areas, still face barriers to education, employment, and leadership opportunities. As a women empowerment volunteer in India, you’ll play an important role in helping local women build brighter, independent futures for themselves and their families. By volunteering with Volunteering Journeys, you’ll join initiatives that address these inequalities directly — helping local NGOs and women’s groups create safe spaces where women can learn, grow, and lead. These programs focus on practical skills training, language development, income-generation workshops, and confidence-building activities that empower women to become change-makers in their own communities.
