Senior Corps
As part of a continuing commitment to encourage people of Indian origin to use their personal resources and skills to make positive contributions to India's development, Indicorps is currently piloting Senior Corps, a new program designed for older (50+ or retired) non-resident Indians to give back to India.
The program aims to place small groups of Senior Corps volunteers together in several geographic locations; projects will involve at least two volunteers and will focus on added value interventions that best leverage the life experience and knowledge of the Senior Corps community.
We recognize that people of Indian origin with a stronger linguistic, cultural, and experiential connection to India may not benefit from the intensive support structure in the proactively managed fellowship program. Senior Corps offers more tailored opportunities for senior NRIs residing in the United States and Canada to contribute to the upliftment of India.
Indicorps is currently planning to launch an initial Senior Corps program in early November 2007, requiring a 4-month commitment to grassroots projects in India.
