Application open for Summer 2015 CORD Volunteering opportunities for Bala Vihar Youth

Dear Friends,
Hari OM!

We are happy to commence the registration process for the increasingly popular CORD USA service visits to India for summer 2015 for students on Chinmaya Bala Vihar!

Due to the incredible experience provided by the service visit, the demand for the number of spots has been increasing steadily. We are inspired by the number of wonderful, committed students that are registering for the service visits. We are extremely gratified by the input from our returning students reflecting their inner growth and maturity originating from these visits. We are striving to expand this opportunity to as many students as possible. 

The number of students that can be accommodated is determined by the capacity of the host CORD center facilities and resources. At times, due to the limited number of spots available, many wonderful students were unable to attend the service visits.

However, due to Gurudev's blessings, we were able to increase the number of available spots significantly for summer of 2015. We are able to accommodate fifty-two students between two different centers this Summer, compared to twenty-seven in Winter 2014. We will continue to work on expanding the number of spots as well as locations for future service visits. We are thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful journey by our Chinmaya Mission youth and hope to grow a along with them. 

The service visits are extraordinary opportunities to serve and experience the joy of service. We are looking for students who are mature, motivated, have faith in the value of service and would value the visits as an opportunity for their own growth. Click this link to apply today!
