Be volunteer
Volunteering at Tribal School Project is about moulding lives, seeding hopes and shaping a community so self-reliantly that it would shine the way forward for many tribal communities to benefit.
We seek volunteers with a heart to serve, are resourceful and innovative, and are in love with the tribal children.
