Volunteer With Us

At Hashtag Gulu Initiative, we believe that real change starts with people—ordinary individuals who care deeply and act boldly. Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Whether behind the scenes or on the frontlines, their time, skills, and passion continue to shape brighter futures for children and youth in street situations across northern Uganda.

Why Volunteers Matter

Volunteers play a critical role in helping us mentor and reintegrate young people into supportive communities and families. From administrative and project support to photography, research, event organisation, mentorship, and more—volunteers bring unique perspectives and talents that enrich our work and extend our reach.

By volunteering with us, you’ll not only contribute to a cause that matters but also become part of a movement committed to restoring dignity, opportunity, and belonging for vulnerable young people.

Volunteers support our mission through project implementation, research and documentation, event planning and coordination, professional photography and storytelling, mentorship and youth engagement, communications and media work etc. Whether you’re a student, professional, retiree, or someone in between—we value what you have to offer.
