Volunteer or Apply for Teacher Fellowship

Volunteer or Apply for Teacher Fellowship at
Adharshila Learning Centre for the session 2017 – 18
Beginning October-2017


We are inviting volunteer and Teacher Fellowship applications for the session of 2017 - 18.

You qualify for a Teacher Fellowship only if you spend one full term – 3 months – or more at Adharshila. (The term is slightly shorter than 3 months but you will be expected to prepare for the term and write lesson plans based on your teaching experience in the remaining time.) For this you get a small stipend, food from the mess and a shared space on the campus.

For shorter periods you are a volunteer for which you don’t get a stipend, just food and lodging.

Since, we have already found fellows for the first term, those who are interested can select either of the following terms for the fellowship-
1.                                                         Term 2: October 2017-December 2018
2.                                                         Term 3: January 2018-April 2018.

Expectations – As a volunteer you will be required to assist in the regular subject classes. In the remaining time you will be expected to help in office, farm, mess, engaging students who need extra help or any other activity where there is a need. If you have some special skills like art, music, dance, craft etc. then you can do these regularly for the time you are there or in a workshop mode.

As a Teacher Fellow also, you have to do the above tasks. But as your period of stay is longer you can choose to do a project of your choice on your own or by engaging children/teachers with you, in addition to the regular work.

In both cases we will try to fit your skill set with the tasks.

The going at Adharshila is tough if you have never stayed in a rural setting. So be prepared.
