Volunteering can be very a fulfilling endeavor. It is an opportunity to contribute towards society. However, not everyone can handle the challenges that come with being a volunteer – they are expected to take time off from their busy lives and spend it towards a cause; sacrifice not only their time but also their money; and often, may not get recognition or remuneration for their work.

Aaghaz Field Volunteers perform two crucial roles as explained below –

Applicant Field Audit

Aaghaz receives hundreds of applications for its financial aid and memorial scholarship programs. While every applicant who is unable to attend school or college due to financial constraint is eligible for our assistance programs, we can only afford to support a few. Only those candidates with high academic performance and from desperately poor financial backgrounds are selected. Our Field Volunteers vet the applicants by conducting field audits and making recommendations factoring in the applicant’s financial situation and academic performance.

Beneficiary Mentoring

Aaghaz Field Volunteers also perform another key role of managing the registered beneficiaries. Volunteers stay in regular contact with the assigned beneficiaries and with their academic institutions to ensure that the beneficiary is attending school regularly and maintaining good academic performance. Aaghaz will assign beneficiaries to Field Volunteers for long term beneficiary performance management. A Field Volunteer could have many beneficiaries allocated to them. Such allocations will be made after getting Field Volunteer’s approval.
