Volunteering at SSF’s India events offers a unique opportunity to contribute to meaningful impact while gaining hands-on experience. From conducting interviews and supporting scholar engagements to assisting with hackathons, STEM workshops, outreach, and on-ground execution, volunteers play a critical role in bringing our programs to life. These opportunities help build practical skills, confidence, teamwork, and leadership, while also enabling meaningful connections with students and fellow professionals. We welcome volunteers from diverse backgrounds – working professionals, retirees, individuals on a career break, and graduates – who are passionate about giving back. At SSF, volunteering is not just about participation – it’s about learning, contributing, and shaping future leaders.

My volunteering experience at Shooting StarsFoundation (SSF) has been an enriching one!! It has been very fulfilling to coordinate & facilitate impactful training programs like MILT, APT training programs etc. It feels wonderful to know that scholars are really blossoming because of these programs – one step at a time and becoming a better version of themselves. It has also been fulfilling to be a part of Corporate Initiatives with SSF such as the Cognizant & Walmart Job Readiness programs and also the Cognizant Salesforce Internship initiative.
Overall, volunteering has given me a chance to touch a scholar’s life which is immensely gratifying!! Thankyou for these opportunities

At Shooting Stars Foundation, you don’t just review applications—you listen to stories, understand families, and witness dreams that are hanging by a thread because of financial hardship. Knowing that our careful evaluation helps ensure the right support reaches the most deserving students makes every hour worthwhile.
