Chapters are an essential aspect of the Apollo Foundation as they allow various volunteers from the international community to come together and help impoverished schools and students from all across the world. These Chapters work on specific initiatives and spread the word in local communities and regions. They serve as an organized manner to create a network of volunteers and leaders; overall it allows us to accomplish more as a group. Creating a Chapter requires a large amount of effort and knowledge in organizing events, gaining volunteers, and raising money, thus, they are kept at the very minimum. If interested, simply contact us through email with your inquiry.
Chapters allow direct person-to-person contact with volunteers in their school, community, or region. Rather than depending on online connection with the Apollo Foundation's leadership team. Volunteering with Chapters is far more engaging as you get to meet new people and learn to work as a team.
Chapters help gage the full experience of the Apollo Foundation's vast volunteer opportunities. Furthermore, working with an Apollo Foundation Chapter as a school student gives you early access to necessary skills that are extremely beneficial in the future and various potential jobs.

With over 25 members in the Chapter and an amazing leadership team, these volunteers hold local fundraisers such as virtual concerts and awareness calls to showcase these projects and the hardships all these impoverished schools face. The Gurgaon Chapter works closely with the Apollo Foundation's Executive Board and Regional Directors to provide for the impoverished.

Bagiya is a non-profit organization in Gurgaon and is registered under Section 25. It helps those in need who are at the "bottom of the economic pyramid." They are integrated into society with vocational opportunities so they no longer fall under the category of "those in need." The founder and director, Ms. Shilpa Sonal started the Bagiya project in 2009 in a small basement located in Gurgaon and now became a non-profit organization. The Sanshil Foundation is supporting over 300 underprivileged children, with five centers in Gurgaon and one in Noida.
