Mentor a Gazan student in English!
We are looking for volunteers yearlong to support high school and university students in preparing for the Duolingo English Test (DET) with the goal of achieving a score of 130 or higher, enabling them to apply for university opportunities abroad.
Beyond test preparation, this mentorship fosters long-term relationships between mentors and mentees, providing students with a trusted academic reference and support system throughout their educational journey. By volunteering, you will play a crucial role in empowering students with guidance, encouragement, and opportunities for growth.

About the Role
There are no strict requirements to apply—only a dedication to being present for your mentee over the long term. If at any point you are unable to continue, you can communicate this, and we will support the transition. A strong command of English is required, and while not mandatory, any English certification (such as DET, IELTS, TOEFL, or CEFR qualifications) is highly appreciated.
Due to the nature of the program, we may not respond to every application, but we will reach out when there is a match.
