Behind every successful student at Teach My India is a dedicated volunteer. Our 200+ volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and professions, but they all share a common passion: the desire to make a tangible difference in the lives of underprivileged children. Today, we celebrate the incredible work of these volunteers and the impact they're creating.

"I volunteer with Teach My India to introduce rural children to the world of technology. Seeing their faces light up when they code their first program is the most rewarding experience. These students have immense potential, and they just need the right opportunities."
Rajesh Kumar - Teacher & Academic Coach
"Working with Teach My India has taught me that every child is capable of excellence. Some just need a little extra support and encouragement. The progress I've seen in my students has been phenomenal, and it's deeply satisfying to know I'm contributing to their future."

The Multiplier Effect
What's truly remarkable is the multiplier effect of volunteering. Not only do our volunteers directly impact the students they teach, but they also inspire other community members to contribute.

We believe that sustainable social change comes through building a community of change-makers. Our volunteers are the heart of this movement, and we're incredibly grateful for their dedication and passion.
