Program Overview

Program Description:

Do you like helping amateur children & young people in acting, drama and play movie roles in theater? Then you are in right place. Volunteering With India offers you to take part in the Theater Volunteering in Pink city.

You will be given training in the workshop that will include how to coach drama groups, how to help children and young people for their local performance. You will be involved in a few activities such as teaching, in theater, to improve focus, making the set, design them, music selection, making the masks and organize the program when it will be held in a theater. We don’t need an expert actor, director or an artist we just want for our volunteer to offer love to children, to make them good theater actors and to help the ones that are talented but they are shy or just not able to bring it out. There is a lack of theater education in the city. We expect the volunteers to offer good help and to be good teachers in the workshops. Volunteers can also work in the children in rural areas, so they can arrange to put in play a drama with them. This helps build confidence for them and makes them be more united and see the future with more hope and joy. Also, volunteers can put in play dramas with the kids from the orphanages that the organization works with. The children in orphanages are always eager to learn new things and this shows them the fun part of life, at the end of the day children fall asleep with a smile on their faces because their talents get to be discovered and enhanced while having fun.

Setting Description:

The program is being held every month and the volunteers have the opportunity to organize their own theater project with children during their stay here.
