It is a unique experience that allows you to serve India through innovative projects that cater directly to the needs of local populations. As Anjali said, the experience is a transformative one. The organization does a spectacular job in facilitating personal reflection and growth during your time in India. Additionally, the program does a great job of cultivating leadership skills and pushing fellows out of their comfort zone. If you want to be a changemaker in India, apply for a fellowship...you will not regret it.</p> As a current fellow, I encourage everyone out there to look into Indicorps.

I'm still in India, having finished my fellowship in Jan07. Just yesterday, I came back from visiting the tribal community and organization I lived with for the entire 2007 year. I genuinely felt like I was going home when I visited. To see how excited they were to see me. People came from far off villages to meet me and some postponed their return home, in spite of the onset of the biggest festival in local tribal culture, Holi. This truly hit home what service is in life and the sort of leadership potential that lies in all of us. Whether thats social service, service to your parents, service to your friends or any of many forms of service in life. The experience alters your thinking, gives you a picture of reality in regards to India's development and a more real perspective on the world we live in.</p> I second that.

What I respect about the group is that it is committed to working <em>with</em> the communities with whom they partner and not in a 'charity' style. It's a fabulous way to be able to not only gain a deeper understanding of India, but also to help bring about sustainable, meaningful change, both in the motherland but also in oneself.</p> Indicorps is an incredible organization — Everyone I know who has done it talks about it as a transformative experience.
