Kriti is an NGO working in the Film Nagar area slums for the last 15 years. Under Project Disha, our Scholarship program for the underprivileged, Kriti has provided scholarships for over 2500 children. Most of these children are in the first generation in their families to finish 10th grade. Their parents are mostly illiterate and unable to provide proper opportunities for their children. They are also unable to navigate the career options that could possibly open up for their children as they themselves are unaware.

Along with providing scholarships, Kriti has had an active mentoring program, Project Prerana, for the children.

The mentoring sessions are being planned as follows:
• Kriti will assign 2 volunteers for each group of 5-6 children.
• The mentors would be provided all the material for each of the sessions and orientation sessions will be conducted to understand the material
• There will be approximately 2 sessions per month, on Saturdays or Sundays based on mutual available time of the students and the mentors.
• Each session will be about 2 hours long.
• Online Sessions will be conducted on Google Meet, Zoom or similar platform.
• Offline sessions (Physical session) will be at Kriti's office
• Total number of sessions: 10-12 based on the age group
• Knowledge of Spoken languages: Hindi, Telugu or Tamil is required for these sessions.

Kriti will do its best to connect children based on language of familiarity of both children and Mentors.
• We request you to commit to the mentoring sessions for the entire year as children will only develop a bond with Mentors once they are familiar.
• Total commitment time per month is 30 hours over 7 months (includes session time and prep time).
• Physical Sessions will take place in Kriti's office in Shaikpet, Hyderabad.
• All Sessions will begin in late July 2023 and end in Feb 2024

Topics will be as follows:
1 Key soft skills/ Traits for a successful career
2 Communication – Written, Verbal and Non-verbal Communication skills
3 How to Study and emphasis on techniques to Study – Mind Mapping
4 Emotional Quotient, Mindset and Decision Making
5 Understanding Planning and Time management
6. Exam Stress and Mindfulness
7. Media and Financial Literacy

In addition, a session on Career counselling will be done by Kriti Team. Based on what your Mentee’s goal is, a volunteer will provide additional support and help them out.

Kofi Annan, ex-secretary general of the United Nations once said, "Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family". Quality education is a fundamental right and should not be a privilege of only a few who can afford it.

Founded on the core belief that the best use of education received from society is the selfless service of society, the Sri Sathya Sai Loka Seva Gurukulam (SSSLSG) is a leading group of educational institutions in India that provides high quality, values based holistic education, totally FREE of cost to the deprived and needy children to create strong individuals with a brilliant intellect, compassionate heart and competent hands. These institutions are typically located in the rural interior areas where many of the students, especially the girls, are first-generation literates. Today there are 24 such high quality institutions located across 16 districts of the Indian state of Karnataka, besides one in the state of Telangana.

During this year (2020), SSSLS Gurukulam has commenced production of online video lessons to make up for the loss of knowledge and classes among students studying across various campuses. These lessons are not restricted to only the school children attending SSSLSG institutions but have also been opened up for ALL school children across the entire country totally free of charge, via below channels like YouTube, mobile app and a website.

There is now a plan to accelerate the growth of these activities across a number of dimensions including the introduction of new lessons, enhanced learning experience by leveraging the latest technologies and deploying AI-based assessment mechanisms. Interested volunteers who are skilled in various relevant areas of expertise may come forward and be part of this journey. There are several areas that you - or someone you want to recommend - could volunteer. Examples of areas of help needed include Content writing/editing, Social Media Management, Video Editing, Graphic Designing, Web/App development, Radio presentation, etc.

Please write to gurukulam@ssslsg.org and provide your name, contact number, and skillsets.

This is a great chance to be part of something that is truly unique and transformational in the world while leveraging your technical skills in the process. We hope you will take up this opportunity and derive the satisfaction of making a difference. Thank you.

Become a mentor for children across the globe! This is an incredible way to give service online, especially since most of the world's schools are still closed due to COVId-19, and this is the only educational resource these kids will have.

It’s super easy to get to started (go to Portal.villagebookbuilders.org and register), and it’s fun to get connected and help mentor these children. Once you are paired with a child, your sessions only take 30 minutes a week, and our fun interactive training sessions will help you be successful.

Education opens children’s minds to a world of possibilities and gives them the tools they need to dream bigger. And you can inspire that within them through mentoring!

Quote from fellow Nike Employees
This amazing experience just recently started and I am absolutely happy. Because it is not only about myself helping someone, it is about the gift I receive from the energy of the person I am teaching something. In my case, Dixon is a wonderful boy, he is curious and very intelligent, he loves Math and geography, so we speak about these themes in our sessions. I learn about Uganda with him, and I teach all what he asks to know. It's been a win-win experience. - Sara Gorozabel
