JAC works in cooperation with various international organizations in the areas of disaster preparedness. The international volunteer programs of JAC are intended to provide opportunities for visiting friends from abroad to see India and learn about its people and their concerns while traveling. They help enrich the outlook of those whom they meet and in turn develop a better understanding of these new friends. This way each one is an ambassador of peace and international understanding. During the last decade nearly two thousand volunteers have visited India this way, from North America, Europe, Australia, Japan and other parts of Asia.
Programs run all year around in different parts of the country.
An individual schedule is devised for each person or group to meet their needs. Arrangements need to be made at least 30 days in advance of arrival in India in order to plan properly. There is a minimum one-month's commitment with JAC programs. If possible, a commitment of at least three months duration will make for a more complete and satisfying experience and are required for long term placements. These entail a more in-depth involvement in the work of the sponsoring organizations.
