Volunteer

Join the Movement That’s Saving Lives

357 people have already made this choice. They are market traders, teachers, students, nurses, retirees, and office workers. What they share is one thing: the belief that no woman should die simply because she didn’t know.

When you volunteer with Help The Woman Campaign, you don’t just support a cause. You become the cause. You are the message that reaches a woman before it’s too late.


What Volunteers Do

Community Health Ambassadors

Our most impactful volunteer role. As a Community Health Ambassador, you are trained to educate women in your own community — through conversations, home visits, market interactions, and community events. You become the trusted local voice for women’s health.

Event Support Volunteers

Support our market activations, awareness walks, and screening events. Roles include registration, materials distribution, logistics, and crowd engagement. No prior training required — we brief you on the day.

Digital Advocates

Share our content, amplify our message, and help us reach women beyond our physical footprint. Our digital advocates have helped us reach 30,000+ people online. You can do this from anywhere in the world.

Skills-Based Volunteers

Are you a doctor, nurse, counsellor, photographer, videographer, graphic designer, social media manager, or translator? We have specific roles for professional volunteers. Your skills can make a direct, measurable difference.


The Journey — How It Works

Step 1 — Apply

Fill out our volunteer application form below. Tell us a little about yourself, where you’re based, and what kind of volunteering interests you. We review every application personally.

Step 2 — Orientation

New volunteers attend a half-day orientation session — in person in Uyo or online via video call. You’ll learn about our mission, the health issues we’re addressing, and your role in solving them. We cover the facts about cervical cancer, HPV, and prevention in plain, accessible language.

Step 3 — Training

Community Health Ambassadors receive a full training program covering health education techniques, community engagement, cultural sensitivity, and how to refer women to screening services. All training is free. Materials are provided in English and local dialects.

Step 4 — Deploy

You’re assigned to your area and connected with your local volunteer coordinator. You start making impact immediately — through conversations, events, and outreach in the communities you already know.

Step 5 — Grow

High-performing volunteers are invited to become Team Leaders, training and mentoring new volunteers. Several of our most senior staff members started as community volunteers.


Volunteer Stories

Grace Okon — Community Volunteer, 1 Year

“Becoming a volunteer with Help The Woman Campaign has been life-changing. I’ve seen first-hand how simple conversations can empower women to protect their health and future. One woman I spoke to at the market went for a screening. They found something early. She’s fine now. That’s why I do this.”

Effiong James — Health Ambassador, Ikot Ekpene

“Training with HTWC gave me skills I use every day. I can now talk to women about cervical cancer in Ibibio in a way that doesn’t scare them — that opens them up. The materials in local language made a huge difference. People listen when you speak their language.”

Afiong Bassey — Community Member turned Volunteer

“I came to one of their market outreaches as a passerby. I stayed for an hour. Three months later I was a volunteer. I never thought I’d be in this space — I’m a tailor. But I’ve realised everyone has something to give.”


Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a medical background?

No. The majority of our volunteers have no healthcare training. We provide everything you need. What matters most is that you care about your community and can communicate clearly.

How much time does volunteering require?

It’s flexible. Some volunteers dedicate a few hours per month; others are involved weekly. We work around your schedule. Even one conversation that leads to a screening is meaningful.

Can I volunteer if I’m outside Nigeria?

Yes — as a Digital Advocate or Skills-Based Volunteer. We also welcome members of the Nigerian diaspora who visit home and want to participate in local outreach during their visits.

Is there a minimum age?

Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. Volunteers under 18 require parental or guardian consent.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. All volunteers who complete our training program receive a signed certificate of completion from Help The Woman Campaign. Community Health Ambassadors who complete 6+ months of active service receive an additional recognition certificate.
