Introduction

At the Center for Adolescent Girls Health (CAGH), we believe that every volunteer has the power to transform lives. Volunteers are an integral part of our mission to promote the health and well-being of adolescent girls across Ethiopia. We embrace a volunteer philosophy grounded in gender equity, inclusivity, and empowerment, ensuring that all volunteers—regardless of background—can contribute meaningfully to our programs and initiatives.

Our volunteers are more than helpers. They are partners in change, working alongside our staff, researchers, and community stakeholders to make a tangible impact in adolescent health, sexual and reproductive education, nutrition, gender-based violence prevention, and more. By joining CAGH, volunteers become part of a dynamic network of individuals committed to creating healthier futures for young women and girls.

Why Volunteers Are Important

Volunteers are at the heart of CAGH's success. They:

• Extend our reach into communities, schools, and health facilities, ensuring adolescent girls have access to vital health information and services.
• Bring specialized skills and fresh perspectives, from health counseling and research to digital advocacy and event management.
• Strengthen partnerships by supporting programs, campaigns, and initiatives that complement the work of our staff and stakeholders.
• Empower adolescent girls directly, serving as mentors, educators, and advocates for health and well-being.

How to Get Involved

Becoming a CAGH volunteer is simple, and there are opportunities for students, professionals, and community members across a wide range of programs. Whether your skills lie in health education, counseling, research, digital advocacy, or mentorship, your contribution matters.
