Volunteering and Internship
South Orissa Voluntary Action (SOVA) has been streamlining the community development process by implementing programme on Community health, Quality education, Sustainable livelihood, Village governance, Child Rights and Child Protection.

We offer students the opportunity to volunteer and intern with tribal communities, providing a platform for sharing expertise and supporting social, educational, and health initiatives. Through these experiences, volunteers gain deep insights into the traditions, resilience, and challenges faced by tribal peoples while learning from their rich cultural heritage and sustainable practices. This hands-on involvement allows volunteers to enhance their skills in community-focused approaches and cross-cultural communication, applying theoretical knowledge to real-world situations and developing new methodologies informed by the tribe’s way of life. In return, the exchange of knowledge benefits both the volunteers and the communities, as tribal members pass on indigenous wisdom, traditional crafts, and healing practices, helping preserve their cultural identity. These partnerships create bridges between rural and urban communities, fostering mutual respect and driving long-term social change toward a more inclusive society.
