About Program

Whether you just love sports or you’re a professional, we have a project for you in Ghana! No experience is required, just a desire to use Sports to help others. Sports coaching volunteers train, play and get immersed into the life of the community. This volunteer project in Ghana is perfect for a gap year, summer holidays, student travel and career breaks. Many children in Ghana don’t have the opportunity to receive proper coaching. You’ll work with schools and community teams after school. Sports have the power to bring people together. It speaks a universal language and cuts through culture, race and religion.The Ghana sports coaching volunteer project also helps coordinate important educational workshops in areas lacking emphasis in general school curricula such as recycling, nutrition, hygiene, and self-esteem. This is a fun project for anyone who loves working with children and youth. The youth are very enthusiastic and always keen to learn, play, and interact with volunteers.

Incredible experience volunteering with RisingSun Volunteers

Mar 17, 2025

Volunteering with RisingSun Volunteers was an extraordinary experience. My daily responsibilities involved caring for young individuals during soccer activities and overseeing their participation. Each day brought a unique set of experiences, ensuring that no two days were alike. At the soccer project, I collaborated with three other volunteers to organize the daily agenda. We also worked with the children to prepare for upcoming matches, repeatedly practicing routes, shots, and passes.

The participants were actively engaged each day and thoroughly enjoyed the training sessions. We received warm greetings and farewells daily, and on occasion, we were even escorted back to our accommodations. Overall, I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to volunteer with RisingSun Volunteers. This experience allowed me to connect with numerous individuals and contribute positively to their lives, reinforcing my beliefs. I highly recommend this project to anyone looking to assist those less fortunate than ourselves in the United States. In return, you receive affection and appreciation that no financial compensation can match.
