About Program

iSpiice provides the best summer volunteer program in India which is perfect for quality volunteering experience & for meaningful travel to UNESCO'S world's heritage sites including Taj Mahal, Trekking in Himalayas, sightseeing of Jaipur (Rajasthan) & much more. Program covers everything necessary during the placement and runs through out the year due to high demand among volunteers. Program starts every Sunday from Delhi International airport at the time of your arrival in India.
Program gives you the opportunity to volunteering with children (aged 6 to 15 years old), women empowerment programs, childcare programs, community development programs and much more. (Volunteers can choose volunteer programs according to their personal preference) which includes teaching basic English, typing & writing skills, painting, cut, copy, paste in Microsoft word, CV writing & Organizing fun games for them that involve drawing, singing, dancing, and other creative educational activities.

Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.

These are safe and responsible projects, where participants continue to provide valued assistance supporting local staff. Volunteers, who wish to get associated with our projects, need to follow certain guidelines according to the company policies.

You might be helping your friends, neighbors or even relatives. Hence, you might even need their help at some point.ispiice is a great platform which provides opportunities to help needy people with great supporting team. Supporting team is very professional and know very well their job. I am very happy with ispiice.

All I ever feel with this program is a lot of love. Love is such a beautiful thing and if you want a load of it. They have it. I will say that their work change the other lives.For this review I will focus on the fact that their staff is very warm, helpful, knowledgeable and invaluably culturally competent.So if you would like to join ispiice, all you have to do is fill up the application form and then they will select you as per the data you have given, get the inside of your cheek swabbed, and you can change someone's life.

Awesome Team

I volunteered for ispiice at age 16, 4 years ago. It was the most incredible experience of my life at the time! I met so many wonderful people, including the amazing ISPIICE staff, learned a little bit of the Hindi language, and learned so much about India.The director, Varun, is the heart, soul, and inspiration for this program.Volunteering for ISPIICE helped me understand some social issues and connecting with the people gave me a better understanding of the culture that affects those social issues.

Love to do volunteering again

The iSpiice staff are friendly, professional and courteous. They are wonderful cooks with great senses of humor and make sure their volunteers are comfortable and safe during their stay. The iSpiice house was honestly one of the nicest guest houses I've ever stayed at clean and comfortable.The only thing I would change during my stay with iSpiice is that I would stay longer!! I volunteered at a high school teaching computer skills and at a local home tutoring, and I know that longer-term volunteering would have benefited those students. iSpiice exists to help the local community and children.
