About Program

Live with a host family and attend a local Ghanaian high school, while getting the unique experience of engaging in a community service project over the course of your year. Become a part of your community through activities like helping in an orphanage, assisting in HIV/AIDS awareness programs, or studying traditional song and dance. During this program, you will get to choose a community service project as an after-school activity. Projects might be studying traditional symbols and artifacts, proverbs, traditional songs and folklore; assisting in orphanages; participating in community projects, gender programs and HIV/AIDS awareness programs. In both urban and rural areas, teen life is highly influenced by traditional culture, but Western culture plays a role in TV, movies and music. Teenagers in Ghana often hang out outside the home, playing sports, board games and cards.

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with AFS-USA for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.
