Alignment with our mission: Once your application is accepted the initial step towards participating in our Global Citizen Program at TGG Foundation is to complete a one-time registration at https://tggfct.org/responsible-human-mission/.

Book your Accommodation: Once an RHM Registration number is received by you, reserve your spot by paying an advance of Rs. 5000 for accommodation. Once your participation is confirmed with an advance deposit, a bed will be reserved for you. Please note that if you choose to cancel, the deposit will be fully forfeited.

Clarity and Connection: It is essential to have a clear understanding of our culture and knowledge-sharing program when considering a visit to our organization. Our focus is to help you identify your inherent talents, interests and the ways to lead a more sustainable living that causes minimal damage to the planet and less exploitation of yourself. We operate with responsible freedom-
1) Live a life that is not driven by the society thus creating less pressure to the planet and to yourself.
2) Develop a deep understanding of global challenges and interconnectedness.
3) Equip participants with the skills and knowledge to drive positive change and to generate multiple revenue stream.
4) Build a network of like-minded individuals committed to creating a sustainable future.

Additionally, we provide volunteering opportunities in community development initiatives.
Equally important is the alignment of one’s values with our organization’s mission, encapsulated under the Responsible Human Mission. Understanding and connecting with these values will not only enrich your experience but also enhance the impact of your contribution for common good.

Identify your skills and knowledge to exchange: Having a clear plan of action is essential for any participants, especially for those who are providing skill-based training in a specific field. It is important to understand the needs and requirements of the organization that you will be working with, and to develop a plan that aligns with their goals and objectives. For example, if you are providing construction or technology expertise to a rural development charity like TGG Foundation, you may want to consider the specific needs of the organisation and develop a plan that addresses those needs. This may include providing hands-on support for specific projects, helping to develop new fundraising strategies that can support ongoing initiatives and participate in fundraising. In addition to having a clear plan of action, it is also important to stay organized and communicate effectively within the organization you are working with. This may include regular check-ins and progress updates, as well as maintaining open lines of communication throughout your training period. By taking these steps and developing a clear plan of action, you can ensure that your exchange is productive and meaningful, while also making a positive impact in the community you are working with.

Plan your trip: Once you have chosen a project, an RHM Registration is obtained and a slot is reserved, start your remote volunteering at least 15 days before arrival, consider the length of the program, the season, and any visa or travel arrangements required. You can also regulate your food habits at least 15 days in advance.

Remote volunteering & Online Integration: Participants are asked to complete an online familiarization program & align them before their arrival. This will ensure a smoother transition and reduce the need for extensive assistance upon arrival, enabling them to seamlessly integrate into our projects in a more organized way.

Items to carry: Other than your personal belongings, items that you need to carry for the onsite engagement program are Cloths to wear during field work, Garden Gloves, Mask, Safety Glass, Gumboot, Cap, laptop, essential medicines, rain preparedness if visiting during monsoon, etc.

Culture Exchange: The hosts at the RHM Center are the founders of TGG. They are passionate about connecting with individuals who are drawn to a simpler, more intentional way of life.

They invite others to join them in exploring the beauty of simplicity and collective growth.

You are responsible for your own safety: Wayanad is a district enveloped by numerous small forests, expansive reserve forests, and wildlife sanctuaries. The region’s lush greenery is predominantly due to the extensive plantation activities, including tea, coffee, and fruit trees, which offer a welcoming habitat for wildlife, particularly during the night. When traveling at night, it is of paramount importance to exercise the utmost caution. We strongly advise all visitors to remain inside their rooms between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM, as a precautionary measure to ensure your safety and to minimize any potential interactions with wildlife.

Termination of participation: We’re doing our part to help build a responsible community through our different projects, and we’re not expecting anything in return. When you are participating for these initiatives, you’re also playing a role in being socially responsible. In this whole journey, TGG Foundation and its members aren’t the ones benefiting; it’s you who gets the chance to grow as a person in a world that often emphasizes material things. However, if at any point we see that your goals don’t align with our social responsibilities, we may have to end your training program and cancel your RHM Registration.

Participants who have successfully completed the Global Citizen Program and earned their certificate are eligible to:
1. Recruit volunteers/interns to develop your project
