There are number of ways in which you can get involved in volunteer
work- all you need is a little time and
energy. In return you will be rewarded with a sense of personal
achievement and satisfaction.
Mentoring has been one of the
fastest growing areas of volunteering in recent years. It is a process
where a person (the mentor) provides
support, training, and guidance to a less experienced, usually young
person (the mentee) and encourages
continued learning, and improves the self-esteem of the mentee.
Mentors are good listeners, people who care, people who want to
help young people bring out strength that are already there. Mentors
provide their mentees with an experienced friend who is always ready
to help in any number of different situations.

Mentor Mothers for Children's Homes
Choosing to become a Mentor Mother
is a fantastic way to participate in strengthening the community.
Mentor Mothers are highly educated ladies, experienced in
child development, who voluntarily commit themselves to bringing
up these children.  Their
motivation is only their compassion and their desire to make
a life worthwhile for at least a few number of children.
They volunteer to become like mother-
a friend,
philosopher and
guide
to the children. They supervise and organize the health and
nutrition program, education and co-curricular programs, outings
and workshops of the children placed in their care. They own
responsibility for imparting good value systems to the children,
hugging them to soothe their emotional traumas and pain and
to run to the doctor when they scrape their knee at sports!
Although the mentor mothers do not live with the children,
they form part and parcel of their everyday lives.
Anybody, with love, compassion,
tons of patience
and willing to spend about two hours a day can qualify to
be a Mentor Mother. So, step forward and relive the experience
of bringing up your child.
If you think you'd make a good mentor mother, then Sign
up now!

Mentor for Udayan Shalini Fellows
Udayan Shalini Fellowship programme reaches out to disadvantaged
girls who live with their natural families but their parents
are not able to afford the cost of their education. Defining
their Need,
Ambition and
Talent
(NAT),
we identify them and offer the suitable candidates scholarship.
The idea is to develop the overall personality of the girls,
to make them stronger people who are capable of independent
thought and decision-making. 
Mentor for Udayan Shalini Fellows
counsels the fellow and guides her when needed. They devote
minimum of 6-8 hours per month with their fellows and encourage
them to stay motivated and focused on their education. They
provide individual attention, counselling and grooming to
the fellows.
A Mentor's main purpose is to help a
young person define individual goals and find ways to achieve
them.
Senior educationists, directors from
the department of education, former principals, professors
and teachers commit their time and effort to our Udayan Shalini
Fellows towards achieving a wider worldview and personality
development.

Corporate Mentor
Today, Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR)
finds expression in holistic corporate involvement to help
the disadvantaged. Many Corporates encourage employees to
do volunteering work and even provide paid time for this.
A  Corporate
Mentor provides support, perspective, insight, information
and guidance. Corporate Mentors are expected to provide support
in the professional development and growth of their mentee.
Udayan Care-ivolunteer
has jointly brought out an unique concept of Corporate Mentoring,
where our children visit corporate offices for weekly mentoring
sessions. The corporate culture of higher education, discipline
and work ethics widens the children's world view and aids
better goal setting.
Computer Sciences Corporation
(CSC) and Xansa Ltd. have
already joined hands with us by mentoring boys from Mayur
Vihar Udayan Ghar and girls from Sant Nagar Udayan Ghar respectively.
We are looking for more Corporates to join in and improve
the lot of the disadvantaged.
