InSPIRE - India Service Program Inspiring Reflective Exploration

InSPIRE is a non-partisan, non-religious 5-week long immersion program that reconnects young Indians and South Asians from abroad to India.

It’s an opportunity to discover what we’re passionate about … to re-evaluate our aspirations as we explore and challenge our assumptions about ourselves and about our relationship with the world around us.

Looking deeper at India. Looking deeper at Yourself.
And the interrelatedness of the World.

The 5-week program will:

Build leadership skills
Provide hands-on experience in the development sector in India
Open doors and build contacts with Indian organizations that work at the grassroots level
Give you the confidence to travel, work or serve in India on your own
Connect you with like-minded young South Asians
Lead you to think outside the box about India, the world and your role
Inspire you

InSPIRE is resuming its immersion program in 2012 with a 5-week long session from June 30 to August 8.

The short duration and middle-of-summer dates allow participants from quarter, semester and trimester system universities the flexibility to schedule other activities before or after the program, such as volunteering with an Indian NGO, visiting relatives in India or getting a job.

This summer, the InSPIRE group will explore portions of North India, collaborating with organizations, thought leaders and communities along the way. More information is available in the 'Program' section of the website under the 'Itinerary' subheading.

InSPIRE seeks open-minded individuals that are genuinely interested in exploring themselves and their identity, and are earnestly willing to understand development in the context of India.

Applicants are required to be of South Asian origin and fall in the age range of 18 to 24.

Exceptions will be considered. Please contact us at info@inspire-now.org.
