About
Stories got me through some tough days as a kid, and I never forgot that feeling of hope. About 15 years ago, I walked away from the corporate grind to build Bookwallah, believing stories can actually heal. That’s what drives everything we do.
What You’ll Do Here
We work with kids who’ve lived through tough stuff, helping them heal through imagination and stories. Our volunteers make this happen. If you’re looking for storytelling volunteer opportunities that truly matter, you’ll fit right in.
- Lead fun, interactive story sessions for children
- Guide and support other volunteers if you take on our child-focused leadership fellowships
- Get creative with puppet-making and session planning
- Work behind the scenes in research, marketing, or program support roles
- Join as a student intern for hands-on experience in social change
What Makes Us Different
- Not just another volunteer gig - you’ll join a caring, tight-knit community
- Regular workshops on everything from storytelling to leadership
- Team meetings that are actually fun (chai, snacks, laughs)
- We celebrate our volunteers with real appreciation, like the Evoch Awards and our Happiness Wall
Where We’re At
You’ll find us running programs in Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Bangalore. Most roles need you in person, especially if you want to lead story sessions.
If you want to make an impact and grow with a group that cares, this is the place.

My Story
My Work
Healing children through stories - We set up magical library spaces and run weekly inclusive storytelling sessions for kids facing tough times.
Creating safe spaces to imagine - Our Imagination Havens are joyful spots where kids can dream, build emotional resilience, and just be themselves.
Special programs for all needs - From the Sea of Stories for deaf and mute kids, to custom programs—every child gets to belong.
The Bookwallah S.T.O.R.Y. method - We pick books that teach courage, kindness, and hope. Volunteers bring these stories alive, every week.
Volunteer led imagination programs - Our volunteers—students, working folks, everyone—show up with heart. Bookwallah is all about community and connection.
