The Chrysallis Power of One

Nationwide Network

Hundreds of children in each of these cities have experienced Moments of Friendship, Caring and Sharing. Our commited Volunteer Heads spend their spare time working to integrate children with challenges into our beautiful world - you can teach children, play with them, read to them, sing, dance and act with them, learn from them - volunteer in

What do our Volunteers do?

Our Volunteers plan, organise, lead events. They interface with Corporates to enable / help Institutions in need. They work with every community - the developmentally challenged, physically, visually and speech and hearing challenged. They help in collection drives for clothes, toys, stationery, household items, any item which the socially and economically challenged will find useful.

What type of events do the Volunteers assist in organising?

Games, Sports, Music, Movement and Dance, Quiz, Creative Activities, Performances, Awareness Programmes, Volunteer Sensitization, Art, Parties, Academics

What is special about these events?

All events focus on integration of individuals / children from challenged and mainstream communities. The goal - to ensure that a balance is always maintained.

Are the programmes local?

Most programmes are conducted across 6 metros - and once a year the most critical of programmes is conducted nation-wide.

What do you need to become a Chrysallis Volunteer?

A strong heart and a great desire to make integration and inclusion a reality.
