Dakshana Fellows are very unique
individuals who are cut from a different cloth. They are
folks who are typically selected to volunteer on a fulltime
basis for Dakshana for 1-2 years. The Dakshana Fellows
program is a Peace Corps type program. Folks typically take
a year or two sabbatical from their careers to help make the
world a better place. Dakshana Fellows will be eligible to
receive a monthly stipend and will have their profiles and
accomplishments listed on the website. To date, we have had
two Dakshana Fellows who have relocated to India (from USA)
for a year. The foundation covered their airfare, housing,
health insurance and provided a monthly stipend.
While the Dakshana Fellowship
Program does pay a stipend, the primary motivation for
fellowship candidates should be a desire to help others.
The Dakshana Foundation is a dynamic organization, and
there are many different roles you can play as a part of
our operation. The ideal candidate is a super-motivated
self-starter who can work both independently and as part
of a team.
At this time we are looking for two
fulltime fellows. If you have an interest, please send
your resume to
rsharma@dakshana.org
