Simply incredible projects, people and location

I was volunteering in Ghana with Atlas Volunteers for two months. This was my first time volunteering abroad and I really can only say positive things about my experience. First off, the support throughout was great. Whenever I had any inquiries, even before starting my journey, the team was always there to help promptly. You will be briefed on everything you need to know to find your way around. So if you are worried about traveling alone to an unknown country - don't be. You will be in very good hands and will be staying in a safe and welcoming setting. Furthermore, the type of placements is really well thought through and adequate. It's evident, that the focus of Atlas is to provide effectual and sustainable ways for people to come and help out. Additionally, there is a great effort to build a feeling of community with various optional weekly activities bringing everyone involved together. In general, activities during off-time don't come short. Despite the location being very rural, there are lots of things to see and do on weekends, free afternoons, or a night out. The Atlas team was of great assistance here too, always happy to give some recommendations. To sum up, I will say this - if you are looking for a way to donate your time in an impactful, affordable, and fulfilling way, you have definitely come to the right place and will not be disappointed!
