Many volunteer programs target specific interaction with the Tibetan exile community of Dharamsala, which constitutes about half of the city’s population. The suburb of McLeodganj is home to the Tibetan government in exile, and many volunteer programs in Dharamsala are aimed at easing the transition into Indian life for Tibetans living in this area. Teaching English, computer skills, and other practical skillsets to refugees can be a great way for volunteers to help this often overlooked community in adapting to their new home and finding gainful employment.
Individuals can volunteer in Dharamsala year round, and programs typically last anywhere from two weeks to six months. Volunteers typically have a good amount of flexibility in determining their own departure dates and length of stay. Summers are hot and humid, followed by the rainy monsoon season. But, in some of the upper reaches of Dharamsala it can snow in the winter as well, so plan accordingly.
