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.
