Our journey began in the year 2000 and FSL-India (Field Services and Inter-cultural Learning - India) was legally incorporated in 2001, a Trust under the Indian Trust Act 1882. FSL-India was formed with the support of like-minded national and international organizations with a primary purpose of bringing about global transformation, progress and growth through youth exchange programs. 

Over the years FSL-India has grown to become one of the largest volunteer hosting organizations in the country, organising various volunteer and development projects throughout India mainly through Short Term Work camps and Long Term Volunteer (LTV) placements. Most of the projects are carried out independently, and some are undertaken in cooperation with local NGOs as they are aware of the development work that needs to be undertaken in an area and have hands on experience. We support them in their efforts to address the issues and the precise needs of the local community and help bring about the desired change in the long term.

Today, FSL-India is a leading youth development organisation of India focused towards intercultural Learning through Voluntary Services, set up to promote Global Understanding by providing opportunities to youth to work in different cultural contexts and to appreciate intercultural learning. This helps to reduce boundaries and bring people together to work in harmony, with an understanding of the intercultural aspects and focusing on development of people and society through youth mobility and volunteerism. Annually, FSL-India mobilizes 1500 and more young people from across the globe with the support of international partners and local NGOs.

FSL-India is headquartered in Bangalore, with regional offices in Karnataka (Bangalore, Mysore and Kundapur), Tamil Nadu (Chennai), and Pondicherry and is well equipped with experienced associates who support developmental activities across the country with the help of local and regional Partners.
