INDICORPS: Fellowship Program 2010

Indicorps is a non-partisan, non-religious, non-profit organization that encourages Indians around the world to actively participate in the progress of the country that defines their identity.

Indicorps' development-oriented programs are designed to build principled leadership, empower visionaries, inspire collective action, and unite India towards a common vision while creating opportunities for Indians and the Indian diaspora to serve India by applying their skills, time, and resources towards grassroots projects and sustainable strategies for change. The core fellowship program aims to inspire a new generation of global Indian leaders through structured grassroots public service opportunities. Indicorps projects embody a firm and demonstrated commitment to promoting peace, inclusiveness, secularism, and the empowerment of India's people.

The benefits include: tailored placement with a high-impact NGO; structured one-month orientation programme; regular workshops and speakers; experienced support structure, inc. mentors; and joining a dynamic community of changemakers! Are you willing to be the change?

A call to service...
"We need your service, right now, in this moment - our moment - in history. I'm not going to tell you what your role should be; that's for you to discover. But I am going to ask you to play your part; ask you to stand up; ask you to put your foot firmly into the current of history." - President Barack Obama

For a year...
"One year is a long time? By some measures it is. But it is only 1.5 percent of your life. And if it is to serve as an inflection point for the remaining 98.5 percent, then I think it's a chance you have to be willing to take." - Rish Sanghvi (Indicorps Fellow 2002)

In India...
“Indian – it was easy for me to say; but, India was hard for me to understand.  If I wanted to figure out who I was, maybe I should start with where I came from, and then decide where I want to go." -- Linda Mani (Indicorps Fellow 2009)
