1. Volunteer Program
SA designed and implemented package volunteer programmers with a focus on volunteer recognition, facilitation, networking and promotion. SA believes that concept of volunteerism and its promotion is more relevant in the present context in order to enhance and strengthen networking opportunities among voluntary organizations, institutions and volunteers themselves. SA offers an opportunity to professionals and fresh graduates to go beyond the widespread perceptions about voluntary action just being supportive to provide social service. SA is a platform of national and international volunteers.

As a result, SA has produced forty four development workers at the national level and forty four development workers at the local level. Similarly, the organization management capacity of forty two CSOs in twenty six different districts of Nepal has been enhanced by the year 2010.
