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.

The program takes place at Saigontourist Hospitality College in the city of Ho Chi Minh. The college in question was founded in 1989, initially established as a Basic Tourism and Hospitality School. This institution is a post-secondary institution that seeks to provide students with hands–on training in the hospitality and tourism industry. You may also teach a few classes a day, each class runs a total of one hour and 15 minutes, and will be led by a head participant mentor (everyone will get a chance to lead the lesson) with the support of local teachers. Students are aged around 16-26 years old. During each session, the lead mentor will spend 10 minutes getting to know students and introducing themselves at the beginning of every class, and previewing the lesson of the day. Thereafter, students will be divided into small groups, whereby each participant will mentor one group. Meanwhile, to ensure success, you will need to discuss with a local teacher before your class and prepare games using the teaching manual provided, in collaboration with other participants.

Hoi An draws visitors to its lovingly preserved mix of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and French architecture – evidence of the town's fascinating past as a major trading port. Hoi An's quarter features traditional shophouses, the facades of which are made from carved ironwood. The officially Socialist government, run by the Communist party, has made recent reforms that open the economy for trade and some building wealth. Volunteers will see, however, that the old and new Revolutions have left many rural peasants behind in their idealism of minimum living standards. Our projects help these people. Volunteers, depending on the number of participants per group, engage in a variety of projects: - teaching English pronunciation and colloquialisms - building playgrounds and better homes to replace substandard housing - refurbishing buildings for use as schools - working on kindergarten and primary schools - improving village markets and other infrastructure All these help to raise the standards of living throughout rural Vietnam. Kindergartens are not currently funded by the Vietnamese government, so assistance is needed to maintain and improve schools.

Volunteers applying through Friends For Asia can sign up to assist a newly formed non-government organization that is poised to assume a leading role in an at-risk community in western Hanoi in Vietnam. This is a critical time in the life of the NGO as it is currently operating under a two-year charter. With ample support from volunteers, the organization has the potential to set a new standard for community development in Vietnam. The NGO works with young people in a newly urbanized district of West Hanoi. Its underlying objective is to support disadvantaged children through educational support and vocational training. By focusing on these two areas, the organization hopes to boost young people's future prospects for long-term, sustainable employment. Volunteer English teachers have a range of responsibilities while on assignment with the NGO. Most are assigned to work in a classroom environment to work on speaking, listening, and pronunciation skills. Volunteers will also be paired with a Vietnamese teacher to help with classroom management and other tasks. The center also hosts cultural exchanges and other programs from time to time, and volunteers may be asked to help.
