One of the primary goals of Aarohan is to foster among parents and siblings of its children, the culture of volunteering their time within Aarohan with various programs as well as outside Aarohan in various community activities.

Parents will play an important role at the Resource Center as well as the Outreach program. They will accompany their children to Aarohan, be involved in the day to day activities, and will form the main component of Aarohan's volunteer force. Children will have the opportunity to participate in recreational and cultural activities with their parents and siblings.

A mentoring program will be an essential part of Aarohan. This program will be available to children at the Resource Center as well as the children in the Community Outreach program Housewives, college students, teachers, corporate employees and office workers will participate in this program as individuals or part of a group initiative sponsored by their employers.

After school activities will be supervised by a force of volunteer teachers, mostly college students. Children will be provided with homework help and special coaching with school curriculum when needed.

Each family with a child in Aarohan will be assigned the care and supervision of another child, less fortunate than theirs.

Aarohan will have a "Buddy" program where an older child will have the responsibility of assisting an younger child during activities
