There are 2 ways you can take our courses. Join our annual training courses held from June-July or hire us for a special training at your organization.
Volunteer or Intern
We need vibrant, creative, and empowered individuals who can stand up and speak out on Gender Equality and Women Empowerment! The tasks students or individuals are given range from assisting in our Annual Mid-year Training course, to organizing events, research, and administrative responsibilities. The volunteers and interns of WAGI have become a close-knit group and are a part of the WAGI family. Our veterans have learned to be empowered and rise to the occasion, and offer their talents and services when called. Skills and lessons they learn from WAGI are most often useful after they graduate.
