Don’t miss your chance to apply now to the 3rd edition of the Grassroutes Fellowship Program!
Grassroutes is a Fellowship Program that funds youth to go on one month road-trips across India, work with change-makers, do their bit to change the world and inspire more youth into social action.
The selected fellows are placed with non-profit organizations, where they work on a project and experience living within a budget of US$2 a day. At the same time they also act as social journalists and bring back stories from the field to inspire the larger community. Check out their website to see a video of the work they are doing.
On the two previous editions of the fellowship, fellows studied problems ranging from tribal rights and malnutrition to environmental protection and women’s empowerment.
