Course material,  equality, role model teachers and non association with anything less than stellar.

• Do not allow any third parties to dictate what to be taught in the school

• No self proclaimed gurus,  No self interpretation of Sruti and Smriti.

• Take only sincere volunteers who understand the word Common Good and don't talk about themselves. Teachers are the brand and ROLE MODELS.

• Any one with other business interests who could possibly use the children for marketing.

• Never associate with an organization, even if it a Temple, where people become board members for their personal benefit.

• Never allow talking bad about any one / organization inside the facility.

• Demand all parents and children to act like  role models.

• Never treat one better than the others. Do not ask any one about their profession or allow a vibe one is more special than the others. Enforce the rules fully, equally and on everyone.

• We treat everyone the same, including donors. Rule of law prevails. No special previleges.

• Keep all about the cause, the children.

The place did not pop out of earth. All are enjoying the fruits of the work put in by volunteers before you. This is not a free place for someone to  tell the volunteers what to do. Be respectful. We believe in serving, but not to the selfish. If we find any one's email or activities are selfish in nature we will have you removed. This is th elaw. Parents are taking volunteer efforts. Volunteers are not answerable to parents or anyone. If you offend a volunteer, you will be out.

Volunteer are our heroes and they are the brand. They bring the culture of the YGIC to everyone.

YGIC is a privilege and not a right.
