What it actually looks like to volunteer with GETS, and answers to what people usually ask us.

This is what showing up looks like.

Volunteer Training

Nobody walks straight into a session with our girls. Every new volunteer goes through a short training first. We walk you through how GETS runs, basic safeguarding, and what our mentorship style looks like in the room, so you feel ready before you’re paired with the students.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience working with teenagers?

No. We look for passion and trust, not credentials. Training is included.

Is this remote or in person?

Both. On campus at RLS, or fully remote.

How much time does it take?

A one-year commitment, on a schedule that works for you.

What happens after I reach out?

We send an application, get to know you, then walk you through training.

Why is GETS only for girls?

Boys join our events too, but the three pathways are a space built for girls.

Can a man volunteer?

Yes. Men and women are equally welcome to mentor and support GETS.

Does GETS have paid positions?

Not currently, but volunteers are first in line if that changes.

Do I need to be based in Rwanda?

No. We have volunteers around the world supporting remotely.

Is there an age requirement to volunteer?

18 and up. Past that, showing up matters more than age.
