About Program
Most of the government schools in Ghana lack quality and adequate teachers. Volunteers come in to help in most of the reading and art subjects, based on their ability. One doesn't need to be a professional teacher since you have the flexibility to choose the age group you want to help, from the very young to high school. You also work with a local teacher until you get familiar with the school system. A willingness to share and be proactive is also very important.
We are in urgent need for volunteers who can teach and assist in the French language, English, Mathematics, Science etc. Volunteers are also needed to help in administration and the running of the daily activities of the schools.
Placement starts at 8am and closes at 4pm Monday to Friday. Volunteers have weekends for themselves to explore Ghana. There are after school programs where kids show volunteers interesting things in their community and homes.
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. Learn more about how SFLIG Volunteers is promoting ethical volunteering.
