OUR VOLUNTEERS

Driving Change Through Collective Action

Save The Quest is powered by a diverse network of volunteers who contribute their time, skills and compassion to advance inclusive education and community development. From supporting students during examinations to mentoring children, developing accessible learning resources and participating in awareness initiatives, volunteers play a vital role in extending the reach and impact of our programmes.

Our volunteer network comprises students, professionals, educators and socially committed individuals who believe that meaningful change begins with individual action and collective responsibility.

How Volunteers Contribute
Volunteers engage across multiple programmes by serving as examination scribes, mentors, educators, audiobook creators and community outreach ambassadors. Their contributions help bridge critical gaps in access to education and inclusion for children and persons with disabilities.
Capacity Building & Orientation
Every volunteer undergoes a structured orientation before engagement. Programme-specific training equips volunteers with an understanding of ethical conduct, disability inclusion, examination guidelines, child safeguarding principles and community engagement practices, enabling them to deliver support with confidence and sensitivity.
Our Presence
With programme operations in New Delhi, Punjab, West Bengal and Bihar, Save The Quest continues to build a growing volunteer ecosystem that responds to community needs while strengthening inclusive development across regions.

Everything You Need to Know

Find answers to common questions from beneficiaries, volunteers, educational institutions, donors and CSR partners.

Save The Quest is a registered charitable trust working to advance inclusive education, accessibility and community development. Through its programmes, the organisation addresses barriers that prevent children, youth and persons with disabilities from accessing quality education, opportunities and essential support services. The Scribe Bank Initiative is its flagship programme promoting equitable access to examinations for students with visual impairments.

Eligible candidates may register their request through the Scribe Bank platform or contact the organisation directly. After verifying eligibility and examination details, Save The Quest matches the candidate with a trained and verified volunteer scribe. Applicants are encouraged to submit requests well in advance to facilitate timely volunteer mobilisation.

Yes. Save The Quest provides examination scribe support to eligible beneficiaries free of cost. The service is delivered through a network of trained volunteers in accordance with applicable examination guidelines and institutional requirements.

A disability certificate helps expedite the verification process. However, where appropriate documentation is unavailable, supporting documents such as recommendations from educational institutions or medical practitioners may be considered during the verification process, subject to programme guidelines.

The Scribe Bank programme primarily supports students with visual impairments requiring examination assistance. Through other initiatives such as Project TAARE, Save The Quest also works with children with diverse disabilities by providing educational support, inclusive learning opportunities and community-based interventions.

The provision of compensatory time varies across examination boards and universities. Candidates are advised to refer to the guidelines issued by their respective examination authority, as policies differ depending on the institution and applicable disability provisions.
