Administration & Mentorship
“This volunteer track combines operational support with mentorship, giving volunteers the opportunity to contribute both to the day-to-day work of NNSC and to the personal development of children in our care. Volunteers spend part of their time supporting administration, communications, documentation, and coordination activities, while also working directly with children through mentorship, life-skills discussions, and career guidance. The role offers a unique perspective on both the operational and human side of a children's home, while providing meaningful opportunities to learn, contribute, and build lasting connections.”
This track is for volunteers who want to contribute both to NNSC’s operational work and to its children’s personal development. It runs on a 50-50 split: two days per week supporting NNSC administration, and two days working directly with children as a mentor.
On the administration side, volunteers support NGO operations including communications, documentation, coordination, and networking with partner organizations and government agencies. On the mentorship side, the focus is one-on-one: building relationships with individual children, guiding them through decisions, and sharing the kind of knowledge that comes from experience rather than a textbook.
Weekly structure:
- Administration days (2 per week)
- Support NNSC communications, reporting, and documentation
- Assist with coordination between NNSC and NGO or government partners

- Mentorship days (2 per week)

Your experience
This track gives you direct professional experience within a functioning NGO: networking with government bodies and civil society organisations on the ground in Nepal, while building the kind of cross-cultural fluency that no training programme replicates.
We expect a minimum time commitment of at least 4 weeks.
Cultural activities you can access here during your stay include monastery visits in and around the Kathmandu Valley, cultural and heritage site visits to Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, and Bouddhanath, hiking with children in the hills surrounding Bhaktapur, and community engagement with local families.
