FAQ's What is Y4S? Youth4Sewa is an unpaid summer internship offered by Sewa UK. Our focus is on self-development through the service of underprivileged communities. It’s an opportunity for young adults to contribute their time to a larger movement of serving humanity. Why Y4S? Selfless service transforms both the individual serving and the people they serve. We provide a safe platform where individuals can actualise the meaning of Sewa. Our transformative internship inspires the youth to pursue purpose, happiness and spiritual upliftment through a life of Sewa. If you want to challenge yourself, have an adventure of a lifetime and develop values such as kindness, compassion and selflessness then Y4S is perfect for you! How much time must I commit to Y4S? Successful applicants are expected to commit at least two hours a week to the self-development tasks set by the Y4S team. This is in addition to the orientation days that you must attend prior to your 2 or 4 weeks volunteering at an NGO in India. How much does the internship cost? The internship fee is a non-refundable £25. You must cover the costs of your flights, travel insurance, vaccinations and any other costs associated with travelling. Once in India, we will organise your accommodation and food at no additional cost. How do I apply? The application form is available on our website. Once we receive your application, you’ll be contacted for a video/in person interview by our selection team.. What happens if my application is successful? Your journey starts with a series of compulsory orientation days on the following dates: The orientation days guide, inspire and prepare you for your journey ahead. You will then spend at least 2 hours a week on self-development work. For example through daily reading, meditation, local volunteering and yoga. You’ll be expected to engage, document, blog and reflect as part of the internship. You’ll then spend 2 or 4 weeks over the summer working with NGOs in India, supported by a team of mentors who have completed the internship themselves. You will be living with a host family away from home. Through this experience, you’ll discover, learn and engage in a life changing experience that empowers you as you strive to make an impact in a particular field. How are the projects chosen?
