Typical Duration of Program: 9-12 weeks

Description: Global Crossroad's Rehabilitation Volunteer Project in India presents a massive, challenging task for those who want to help at-risk youth. Sadly, many young people in India today are addicted to drugs. In Delhi, many rehabilitation centers work with these young men and women to help them return to normal, productive lives. Through constructive counseling and training, rehabilitation programs like Global Crossroad's help to re-integrate these young people into society as independent, self-sufficient individuals by giving them the social and working skills they need to become solid citizens in the future.

Volunteers serve in a drug rehabilitation center through a variety of important activities:

- Counseling
- Skill sharing
- Teaching English
- Crafts work
- Drawing and painting
- Music (teaching residents to play an instrument)
- Sewing, tailoring, embroidery, etc.
- Basic computer training
- Teaching residents health tips and moral values
- Wood work
- Candle making

Addicted youth are not the only beneficiaries of rehabilitation center care. Separate rehabilitation centers care for physically and mentally challenged children and adults have been established, enabling many to experience a normal life in Indian society. Here, too, volunteers make a profound difference in the lives of these challenged individuals. Many of the volunteers' tasks include counseling, teaching, and sharing practical skills such as sewing, woodworking, and candle making. As a volunteer in our rehabilitation project, you will share your time and talents with these marginalized people, helping them to reclaim a life of dignity and independence.
