This time of the year, there is one thing on everyone's mind at U&I - recruitment. It's the time of the year when we're inspiring hundreds of individuals in colleges across India to "Be the Change."
This year, we've already recruited 1200 volunteers across India from a whopping 3000 applicants. By the end of the month, we aim to get 1500 committed volunteer tutors who will passionately give of their time and talent to change the landscape of education for the underprivileged.
Our workshops in colleges across India have met with an overhwhelming response. Auditoriums have filled up with college students eager to see how they can help change lives.
But that's just the first step.
Over the next few weeks, our Teach staff are going to be busy training these new recruits. They are going to be conducting pre-assessments at our 42 centers across India to know where each student stands academically. They are going to be ensuring that the first day of classes go off without a hitch.
They are going to make sure that each student receives the attention so they can thrive in their academics - and even beyond the classroom.
Yes, we are in a overscheduled, busy season at U&I.
But, even as we start the academic year, we can't be more proud. We couldn't be more proud of our staff for going beyond the call of duty or of the volunteers who are passionate about changing the future for these children.
