Video Volunteers is an international media organization empowering the voices of the world’s unheard communities. Its mission is to empower the world’s poorest citizens to right the wrongs they witness by becoming players in the global media revolution.
Video Volunteers launched its community news service, IndiaUnheard, on 3rd of May 2010. Since then, we have trained 45 people to be community correspondents, voices of an India beyond the margins. We’re looking for passionate community members whom we can train to become the voice of their communities.
Here are the criteria for candidates we are looking out for. They must be:
- From disadvantaged backgrounds or marginalized communities
- Creative, intelligent and enterprising
- Involved in social movements or NGOs
- Able to speak, read and write either Hindi or English
Candidates do not need any media or journalism experience. We will provide them equipment, training and a stipend. As community correspondents, they will be required to produce a minimum of two short videos a month on different community issues, as part of a large network with correspondents from every state in India. We are particularly looking for women.
