AID Bay Area Chapter
The Bay Area chapter of AID was formed in August 1997. We are an enthusiastic group of working professionals, students and stay at home spouses who share the vision and aspiration of fellow AID volunteers. We share a willingness to make a difference – and learn – and unlearn - as we work together for the common good.
We meet every weekand discuss our action plans for the days ahead. We evaluate projects, discuss current issues and affairs concerning development in India, and most importantly, determine how we can contribute. The activities of the chapter can be broadly classified into 5 categories: project reviews, advocacy campaigns, publicity, chapter administration and fund-raising activities. Volunteers choose to participate in one or more of these areas of work depending on their skills, interests and availability of time.
We invite you to join us. We would appreciate any kind of support: it can be your valuable time; it can be monetary; or it can be just spreading the word about us. No special qualification is needed for a new volunteer to start participating with chapter activities.
