Volunteer

AWA is an organization focused on promoting the understanding of global African cultures and perspectives as part of the means of improving society at local, national and global levels. It has the added advantage of accelerating community development and capacity building.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at AWA. We are honored that you are thinking about donating your time to our organization. We need volunteers to assist us with administrative work, data entry and processing of correspondence, and manning our annual programs and events.

Time:

We have an on-going need for volunteers on Saturdays in offices at Brooklyn and Westbury, Long Island, New York, from 2.00 p.m. to 5:00 pm. Volunteering is an ideal opportunity for people to be a part of our effort to provide a greater understanding of Africa, its Diaspora and African perspectives.  There is a wealth of delight and satisfaction in African traditions and culture; and in sharing information and research that improve the exchange between people. Individuals that volunteer who are interested in Africa and African issues will learn as they interact directly with people and facts from Africa and its Diaspora, The work is enjoyable and uplifting and volunteers come away with information they might not have come across otherwise.

In order to volunteer with AWA, please email your contact details. Indicate “volunteer” in the subject line.
