You can volunteer for AIMS India Foundation through many ways.  You can be a volunteer supporting the weekly training runs, or you can take charge of communicating with our donors, conducting fund raising events, etc.  We would love to see you out with other volunteers at the trail handing out water to our runners or arranging for food (of course AIMS will pay for the food).   If you are not sure how you can become a volunteer, please send us a note (volunteer@aimsindia.net) and will work with you find the spot for you in our exciting array of activities.  Our Program coordinators we would be happy to walk through each step of the way to make your experience a comfortable and enjoyable one.

Can I volunteer just for the races?

Yes, you can!  That is when AIMS really needs most of the volunteers to cater to our runners and their needs along the race route.  The finish line activities such as taking pictures, serving food and drinks, offering them a shoulder to lean on while walking back to the tents, etc would be immensely appreciate by everyone of our runners.  These little things are what makes a big difference in comforting an exhausted runner who has put all his energy and effort into tackling such a tough challenge like a marathon or half-marathon.

I am a  student at a local high school?  Can I get "credits" for volunteering with AIMS?

Yes.  AIMS India Foundation encourages the involvement of our younger members in the community.  After all, we rely on candidates like you who will nurture the organization someday in the future.  We recognize your contributions with a certificate signed by our President that can vouch for your efforts to be a part of this team that makes a big difference in the deserving communities through its projects, achieved one step at a time, literally.
