Volunteers commit to implementing one of INJAZ’s programs, all of which aim to build the skills of young people and empower them to own their economic success.
More than 35 companies partnered with INJAZ Egypt in the 2017-2018 academic year and have given the opportunity to their teams to volunteer their time and effort to empower youth in schools and universities.
