Community Development Volunteer Programs in Ghana with Crossover

Crossover Volunteer Ghana offers a range of programmes, options and timeframes that will suit most volunteer skills, preferences and qualities. Volunteers have a choice of the below program options and can also design their own, in consultation with CVG should they have something different in mind.

All volunteers are partnered with a counterpart and caretaker. Their counterpart is someone who is involved in their project and community and who is able to assist with questions, concerns and general navigation of day to day life in Ghana. Their caretaker is generally a member of their host family or a person in the community responsible for their well- being.

You will be working with a local Community Based Organisation (CBO) to help build organisational capacity, ensuring change and improvements are sustainable. Volunteers work together with the CBO to help fulfill the various basic needs of the several grass root communities in Volta by creating community projects to facilitate development and empowerment. The overall aim of this project is to uplift the children, adults and families of these communities. Many communities lack basic social amenities, therefore the level of poverty is very high. Volunteers have an opportunity to make a real long-term difference in the lives of those they live among.
