The first step to volunteering with AAE is to create/update your volunteer profile , As a volunteer, you will be contributing 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 each remote session and under the AAE Assisted Connections Program, they help support enterprises and deliver tailored solutions.
We will send you periodic personal updates on new volunteering offers, when you join our roster. You will make new friends too. Volunteers come from multiple countries and cities across different continents and are a support base providing capacity-building programmes, business consultation services, educational resources and so forth to empower entrepreneurs or small-and-micro enterprises.
Volunteering is mostly virtual, pro bono and tasks are accomplished through asynchronous collaborations. We utilize online communication tools. (task dashboards and email) for update and coordination.. AAE’s tasks can be undertaken based on volunteer availability and are designed to fit around volunteer regular schedules.
