Volunteer in Public Service (VIP)
The volunteer engagement initiative at Padala Charitable Trust (PCT) is called the Volunteer in Public Service (VIP) program. Started in 2013, VIP draws inspiration from the impactful Volunteer in Police Service initiative in the USA. Our mission is clear: connect individuals with a social conscience—students, professionals, and homemakers—to the heart of societal needs. VIP isn't just a volunteering opportunity; it's a catalyst for social responsibility.
We channel the vibrant energy of students, working professionals, and homemakers, thereby creating awareness in society and nurturing the individual development of the volunteers. Since its inception, Program VIP has engaged hundreds of volunteers, and many of them have found their life's calling in the area of social work. Join us in making a tangible difference—one where your time and commitment transform into a lasting impact.
