Support bright students from underserved backgrounds with your time, knowledge, and real-world insights. Even one hour can make a lasting difference
Become a Volunteer
Imagine growing up in a small town in India, where your parents work hard but have limited formal education and and money is tight. Yet, you study relentlessly, crack a highly competitive entrance exam, and earn a seat at a top university. You’ve beaten the odds academically. But the journey doesn’t end there.
Our Lakshya Scholars arrive at college knowing how to study, but often without the soft skills, professional confidence, or mentorship networks that their peers from metro cities take for granted. They have achieved academically, they now need guidance to truly thrive.
That’s where you come in.
First-generation college learners from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities across India
Students from families who borrow from relatives and friends to fund their child’s education
Students who cleared competitive exams like the NEET or JEE through sheer determination
Young people with exceptional academic talent but limited exposure to professional environments
Refer a Scholar
A large number of our scholars are first-time college learners in their families and need guidance and counselling support during the college years. Your domain knowledge and experience can aid young minds in many ways. You can lead career counselling sessions, webinars, or workshops that help students navigate the many choices before them and make informed decisions.
Moreover, our scholars largely come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds with limited exposure beyond their immediate environments. While they are talented and driven, many lack opportunities to build confidence, communication, and professional awareness. Volunteers play a vital role in bridging this gap by mentoring and sharing real world experiences, helping scholars develop essential soft skills such as communication, self expression, time-management and workplace readiness.
Guide bright deserving college students through their academic and career journey
Our scholars are academically strong, but success needs more than grades. Here are the key areas where volunteer mentors make the biggest difference
Skills Matter. Heart Matters More. You just need to care about giving back and
have knowledge or experience worth sharing. You're a great fit if you are:
A working professional with 3+ years of experience in any field
A graduate from IIT, AIIMS or other top institutions who remembers the struggle
Someone who grew up in a similar background and wants to pay it forward
An HR professional, career coach, or entrepreneur
A diaspora Indian professional living abroad who wants to stay connected to roots
Host a one-time session on a topic you know well – communication skills, interview tips, financial planning, stress management, or your own career journey. Sessions are typically 45–60 minutes, conducted online.
Be paired with a scholar for monthly check-ins. Help them navigate college life, internship searches, or their first job. Just one call a month can be transformative.
Give feedback on a student’s resume or LinkedIn profile. A 30-minute review from an experienced professional is worth more than any textbook.
Help scholars prepare for their first real job interview. Your insider perspective on what recruiters look for is invaluable
