KIS Volunteers
Kodaikanal International School is a school that attracts diverse people and generates within them a lifelong affection and desire to return. For decades KIS has encouraged personal and professional philanthropists in what has become an extraordinary volunteer program. People of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds are welcomed into this boarding community and spend up to 12 months at KIS helping out with whatever needs doing.
Volunteers are housed, provided with all essential services, including all meals in the school cafeteria with the students and residential staff and receive an honorarium to acknowledge their contributions. Those who come to KIS for the first time always return. Those who return after many years are deeply touched by the experience of 'coming home'.
KIS has benefited in recent years from assistance with IT, archives, musical instrument repair, classroom teaching, residential artists, writers and musicians, administrators, architects, marketing, PR, graphic design, fundraising; sports coaching, event organizing, the list goes on. The gifts are endless and KIS is the wondrously grateful recipient.
