For Educators, Researchers & Social Leaders

The Namaskar Fellowship — go deeper, lead longer.

A structured, multi-month leadership pathway for those ready to move beyond a single project and help shape the Global Classroom movement itself.

What the Fellowship Builds

Three pillars, one mission.

The Fellowship is where committed volunteers become program leaders — designing, researching and scaling the work that reaches rural schools, women and communities.

🏆

Training & Development

Deep, hands-on training in program design, teacher mentorship, community health outreach and CSR partnership building.

📋

Field Research & Documentation

Conduct village-level impact studies, needs assessments and evaluation research that shapes how we scale our programs.

💡

Program Leadership & Innovation

Co-design new initiatives, pilot fresh ideas in the field, and mentor the next cohort of interns and volunteers.
