As a volunteer with the Ashoka Awards Team of Global Fellowship, I truly felt like a real part of the Ashoka community, and I was by all means treated as one. I was responsible for researching and writing nominations for Ashoka Fellows eligible to win strategic and prestigious awards, which tangibly influence Fellows’ careers as well as their lives. Learning about Ashoka Fellows was not only inspiring, it was also strongly motivating and encouraging. - Ania Biedzinska
Volunteer with Ashoka's Regional Offices
Ashoka has offices in every region of the world. Volunteers can assist either the offices themselves or their Ashoka Fellows with a range of tasks including field-specific programmatic support, training, translations, development of marketing materials, project proposals or business plans, web design, consulting and fundraising. Many of these can be done virtually, in the familiarity of your own home!

When traveling abroad to volunteer, you should be prepared to cover both travel and living expenses, and feel comfortable in sometimes rustic and unfamiliar environments. We recommend that you clarify all expectations and arrangements before making your commitment by using the Volunteer Checklist.
Please note that Ashoka is not a volunteer placement agency and cannot arrange or oversee your travel. That said, we are very happy to make the connections that will make the best use of your interests and skills.
