Volunteering with AAE

The first step to volunteering with AAE is to create/update your volunteer profile , As a volunteer, you will contribute to our strategic shift from “education/advocacy only” model to a “resource mobilization” for high potential entrepreneurs . Our volunteers undertake an agreed number of tasks during a remote session. Under the Assisted Connections Programm volunteers help deliver tailored solutions.

Our periodic personal alerts keeps you updated. You will make new friends too in our global community and learn from our support base, capacity-building programmes, business consultation services and educational resources.
