About Program
The Sports project is designed to offer sports activities to rural Children in Ghana from several backgrounds. As a sports volunteer, you will work alongside the coaches of the Football team to facilitate daily practices. Additionally, the volunteers will help the team play matches on the weekends where you will assist the coach.
Volunteers don't need to be professional in sports but rather have a passion and excitement for this Football program in Ghana. Training is mostly done in the morning and in the evening after school. You will work throughout the week and on weekends. You can arrange with our local staff to take off certain weekends for travel if you wish. Then you will have a trip to see other parts of the country. Sports volunteers may consider combining football coaching with another program such as childcare or teaching. This will enable you for your days with more activities and a stronger bond with the Children/Youth in the community.
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.
