The Apprentice Project - TAP

Vision: Empowering all children to become leaders of today and tomorrow Methodology: The Apprentice Project (TAP) team (alumni from Indian Institute of Management, Teach For India, and The Young India Fellowship) aims to build life skills in low-income kids of age group 10 to 14 years by utilizing their passion as a medium. Selected high-skilled volunteers from organizations like Cummins, Bajaj, Citi Bank, Thermax, etc. are placed in under-resourced schools for a period of one year. The volunteers mentor and work on building life skills (Communication, Creativity, and Critical thinking) in each student, every Saturday, which can help a child be successful in the 21st century. Choice-based Learning | Life Skill-based Mentorship | Holistic Development of School | Exposure, and Opportunities Presence: We have grown fast and work for 2,500 children directly and 10,000+ children indirectly across India with over 500+ volunteers.
