Here is an exciting opportunity for trekkers who want to hone their leadership skills.

We are looking for volunteers to help us with our Collaborative Leadership Program in the Himalayas. 

45 members of the Young Indians family have signed up for the Collaborative Leadership Program. They come from all over India.  

What is the responsibility of a volunteer during the Collaborative Leadership Program?

As a volunteer, you will facilitate the program for participants who maybe are stepping into the Himalayas for the first time. The program is designed by the Indiahikes team to bring out learnings and reflections among the participants. Volunteers will play a crucial role in helping participants internalise these learnings. 

It won’t be easy to facilitate as many participants would be are completely outside their comfort zone in the Himalayas. For this you need to have the right mix of skill and personality.

We will be selecting volunteers based on your prior trek experience, your empathy and care, your communication skills, your fitness, and your work experience. 

Where is the Experiential Learning Program Happening?

This program is taking place on the Dayara Bugyal trek. 

What Indiahikes will take care of for volunteers: 

• Indiahikes will waive off the trek fee 
• All meals and accommodation throughout the duration of the program
• Your safety and health throughout the trek

What volunteers will have to take care of: 

• Your journey to the Indiahikes basecamp and back 
• Any rental gear 
• Meals during transit from the basecamp and back 
• Any other additional personal expenses

What are the dates? 

The program begins on May 16th and ends on May 21st at Raithal. You'll be expected to be at Dehradun a day prior to the program.
