Volunteer in Ghana with Education Support Program - from just $22 per day!

Do you have a passion for teaching and working with children?

This wonderful project was created with the goal of helping to improve the education of children in Kumasi City and the general rural Ashanti Region. Volunteers may choose if they want to work in the city or in a rural area. Whichever location and school the volunteer is placed in, they will assist in a range of subjects, including mathematics, science, geography, social sciences, history, business education, art and music, as well as English.

The teaching takes place in nursery, primary and secondary schools where volunteers initially either shadow or teach under the supervision of a local teacher. Once acquainted with the school and the curriculum, volunteers in Ghana will be given the chance to teach independently. Volunteers’ level of involvement within the classroom can be tailored to suit their skills and interests.

A willingness to share and an ability to be proactive is important and will make volunteers a valuable addition to any classroom. With a decent education, these children will have a greater chance of employment and a better life.

 

Goals of this Project:

• Provide an education to children in Kumasi City or in the rural Ashanti region
• Improve the future prospects of the children in these areas
• Show compassion and provide assistance to vulnerable children
• Enable inter-cultural exchange which benefits both students and international volunteers alike.
