Slums
Spoken English and computer skills are being taught to high school and college students. Also, housewives have taken the initiative to teach the slum who don’t go to schools. there are free health check  ups in these slums.

Hospitals
The volunteers aim to provide a light atmosphere for the ailing children and their parents. They play games, tell stories, play animated movies, etc. Yoga classes, meditation and bhajans are organised for the parents.

Children having disability
Volunteers visit special schools and homes which provide comprehensive support to children with multiple disabilities. the children here prepare files, candles, and learning aids which are sold in charity sales. Volunteers help set up these charity sales in their respective companies. YFS volunteers also provide reading services for the visually impaired and write exams for them as scribes.

A number of environment issues are tackled by partnering with NGOs working on a range of environment benefiting activities like sapling plantations, waste clean ups, waste management and rain water harvesting. Also, YFS has a project called Green Commandos (www.greencommandos.com) that gets volunteers to create awareness and take action on environmental issues in their own residential areas and work place.

‘Sponsor a Child’ for Rs.500 a month
A large number of promising children are deprived of a good education due to their family’s inability to financially support their education. This initiative provides us with an opportunity to build a relationship with a financially challenged student, encouraged by sponsorships.
