Stand with a Nurture Centre.
A Serve Partner is Rotary, Lions or another non-governmental organisation that partners with the movement with volunteers, resources and money for the success of the Nurture Centres. You bring hands and means to a centre in your own community, and deliver service alongside it.
Four things, in whatever measure you can give them.
Volunteers
People from your organisation who will give time to a centre — screened, trained and bound before they come near a child.
Resources in kind
Whatever a centre actually runs on. What is needed is settled centre by centre, not promised in the abstract.
Support to a centre
Support to a named Nurture Centre, or to its monthly initiative mapped to a UN Sustainable Development Goal.
Co-delivered service
Service delivered together, under the causes of the movement — your people and ours, on the same ground, on the same day.
Every volunteer near a child is screened.
Volunteers of a Serve Partner who come into contact with children are screened, trained and bound exactly as the movement’s own people are — without exception, whatever the standing of the organisation they come from.
What screening means in practice for your volunteers
No contact with a child until the screening file is complete. Not one session, not one visit, not as an observer.
No unsupervised or sole-adult contact before the Police Clearance Certificate has issued. This is a separate and later bar than the screening file, and it is held to.
A Serve Partner’s volunteer never substitutes for the Centre Mentor or the named deputy, and never counts as one of the two named adults required at a session unless separately screened to that standard.
Every centre has a Centre Mentor: a screened safeguarding professional appointed by the Foundation, who is not an associate, and who is the centre’s Youth Protection Officer. Your volunteers work within that regime, not alongside it.
Money given goes to the Foundation. No money reaches a club.
Where a Serve Partner gives money, it is given to the Rebuild India Foundation, receipted by the Centre, and applied under the proper head. No money passes to a club — clubs hold and spend nothing. The partner pays the movement no fee and receives none.
What you receive
The co-delivery of service alongside the movement, and its due recognition. Where you give money: a receipt from the Centre, an accounting of the head to which it was applied, and the audited accounts.
What you do not receive
No fee. No influence upon the mission. And no access to a child otherwise than through the screened, trained and bound route above — there is no other door, for anyone.
The term, the exit, and the diligence
The term. Open-ended until revoked, or project-bound where the partnership is for a single initiative.
The exit. Either party may exit on notice. The centre continues, and the Foundation carries its costs. No centre depends on a partner staying, and no centre closes because one leaves.
The diligence. The full seven-enquiry examination applies, with youth-protection capability treated as decisive, and the enquiry into conflict of interest and risk of capture applied carefully to any organisation running its own membership or its own programme in the same field.
We say this plainly because it is usually the question in the room: a Serve Partner enriches the movement and does not direct it, exactly as no donor directs it.
Tell us about your organisation.
What happens next
We reply and talk through what you can bring, and to which centre. The seven-enquiry diligence is completed and certified, with youth-protection capability treated as decisive. The memorandum is reviewed by counsel and executed by the Rebuild India Foundation — and you are listed as a Serve Partner the same day. Screening of your volunteers begins before any of them meets a child.
