About Program
Atlas offers the lowest volunteering fees in Ghana and various volunteering placement types providing a high and meaningful social impact. Our projects are located around the Abetifi district which is based on top of the Kwahu mountain plateau and Akwidaa coastline.
The shared volunteer houses and surrounding rainforests offer breathtaking views. We focus our placements across Education, Sports Development, Renovation, Eco Protection and Sea Turtle Conservation.
Our placements run throughout the year and there's always a team of volunteers out with us, so you can plan when fits best with your schedule to join us. As previous volunteers in the local area we set this organisation up to remove the business element out of volunteering and work with the local community to assist in their development, one step at a time.
Ghana is often referred to as Africa for beginners and offers a safe, serene environment for your trip whilst experiencing new cultures and warm welcoming people.

Program Impact
You will be working directly alongside the local communities and authorities to provide assistance and further development where we can. Depending on your placement and area of focus we aim just a small travelling distance from some of the most remote communities off the beaten track. Projects and proposals are Ghanaian led to ensure that we are making as strong and relevant an impact as possible.
Response from Atlas Volunteers
Thank you for your kinds words Olivia they're really appreciated! It was a shame that I had to leave during your stay with us so didn't get chance to spend much time together but i'm sure we'll get chance next time! These reviews are really important for new volunteers to get a feel of our project and what to expect so I really appreciate you taking the time to complete it.
Apologies for the issue with the house cleanliness. It's a difficult one to balance, as overall it lies on the volunteers to keep their housing tidy in shared areas. Depending on the current volunteer team it really changes on whether groups create rotas or take a laid back approach and sometimes it can feel a bit overbearing if I request my support staff in house to enforce a set cleaning rota. We have now added Frank as Volunteer Support to our team living in the housing so he helps with keeping the place in shape and some general cleaning but if you have any suggestions we'd be very happy to hear them on how he can manage expectations moving forwards. Hope to speak soon - Sam.
