The Shanti Bhavan Student Alliance (SBSA) empowers high school and college students to enact change locally and globally. More than volunteers, members lead initiatives from fundraising to advocacy, enhancing Shanti Bhavan's mission of educating children. Joining SBSA offers leadership skills, supports global equity, and nurtures future changemakers.
Using campaigns, chats, and outreach, our alliance spreads the word about Shanti Bhavan’s mission. Our members team up in schools and colleges, hosting events that highlight the power of quality education for underprivileged kids. Each conversation builds a bridge, linking supporters to Shanti Bhavan’s vision of a brighter future.
Fundraising is the lifeline that allows Shanti Bhavan to continue its ground-breaking work in education. SBSA plays an instrumental role in this aspect, organizing charity runs, bake sales, and online campaigns. Funds raised go straight into educational resources, scholarships, and daily operations at Shanti Bhavan.
Harness potential, take charge, and inspire change through hands-on community initiatives.
Connect with peers, share ideas, and collaborate on inter-school projects and events.
Accumulate recognized volunteer credits, enhancing academic and extracurricular portfolios.
Those 18+ interested in volunteering on our main campus will receive priority consideration when applying.
“Being a part of Shanti Bhavan has shaped my understanding of global issues, such as poverty and unequal access to education and opportunities. As a part of an SB fundraising club outside of India, I felt determined to raise awareness of these issues and help in any way I could to make a difference in the lives of the Shanti Bhavan children.”
– Tanvi, SBSA member
The SBSA aims to raise awareness and funds for Shanti Bhavan, while also empowering students with leadership and service skills through community-based initiatives.
The club meetings’ frequency is decided based on the members’ availability and ongoing projects. Typically, meetings occur once a month, but this can vary.
SBSA organizes a range of events, including awareness campaigns, fundraisers, community service projects, and interactive discussions aligned with Shanti Bhavan’s mission.
Once you’ve contacted Shanti Bhavan and had the scheduled call, the review process typically takes up to two weeks, but this may vary depending on the volume of applications.
