The Lady Volta Green Tech Academy (LVGTA), launched in 2015 by Village Exchange Ghana and Social Venture Africa, is a rural training centre in Ghana’s Volta Region. It empowers underprivileged youth—especially young women—with practical skills in electricity and renewable energy.

Volunteers play a key role in advancing the academy’s mission to expand access to clean, affordable energy and promote gender equality through green technology.

Volunteering roles include:
• Technical Mentors: Deliver hands-on training in solar and electrical systems, assist with lab sessions, and contribute to curriculum design.
• Women in Tech Advocates: Support female students through mentoring, empowerment workshops, and peer engagement.
• Community Outreach Volunteers: Lead awareness efforts and help facilitate student-led energy projects in nearby communities.
• Capacity Builders: Conduct training for instructors and assist with teaching strategies and evaluation methods.
• Program Support: Manage reporting, impact tracking, grant writing, and building external partnerships.

Volunteers commit to a minimum of 4 weeks (8–12 weeks preferred), either full-time or part-time.
