Welcome to Junior Asha team – Seattle Chapter
Junior Asha (JA) is the youth wing of Asha for Education – Seattle Chapter, and functions under its umbrella. Asha is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to bringing about socio-economic change in India primarily through education. We pride ourselves on being an action group that disburses 100% of donations to our partner groups in India.
JA has been in existence since 2009. JA kids decided to adopt one of Asha’s projects, Adruta Childrens Home , as a project of choice to support with their fundraising efforts. 100% of funds raised are sent to Adruta Childrens Home! If you/your child plan to be in Orissa and can visit the facility, then that would be awesome!!
Given an appropriate opportunity, JA volunteers also support the local community by volunteering at non-Asha related events. In return, we get to talk about Asha’s cause, spread awareness, and help support our community.
With help from parents of JA volunteers, we make sure of adult presence/support at all events these kids participate in. Co-facilitators of JA always try their level best to be present on all occasions.
Our roster for the school year 2025-2026 is full.
For any queries, please reach out to [email protected].
Junior Asha strives to promise to provide:
- A gentle and nurturing environment.
- A flat organization run democratically.
- JA volunteers are encouraged to bring in their ideas to create opportunities to raise funds, raise/spread awareness, bonding events for JA volunteers, help out in the local community, etc.
- Note: We cannot use funds raised by JA volunteers for any other expense other than support the kids at Adruta Children’s Home.
- Raise awareness and encourage kids with the gift of giving to the less fortunate.
- Above all, have fun!
