About Program
Agape Volunteers is proud to work with a Foundation in Ghana which provides free classes, housing and support to local children who might otherwise have nowhere to go. Some of these children have family members cannot currently look after them, and we provide care and support, always aiming to return the child to a family setting as soon as possible. Our local team there is truly inspirational, but relies on volunteers to help make the children's futures as bright as possible.
Volunteers on Agape's childcare program in Ghana can expect to help with 'Homework Club', providing additional educational support, as well as organising structured games with the children. Volunteers are also encouraged to pursue their own projects, from art to music and sport, whilst also assisting with a variety of other activities depending on the needs of the day. This can include more practical work like construction projects, and ensuring that the children's environment is clean and welcoming.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
