Great and rewarding experience

I really enjoyed my time in Ghana with YCI, and nearly two years later, often think about my experience and how it has shaped me.

From project implementation to experiencing a new culture, YCI Ghana provided a wide range of experiences.

The project allowed me to use the skills I gained in my education and to apply them in a very practical sense. Giving me the experience that was necessary to gain meaningful employment in a field that I am passionate about.

Through the support of the country staff, I was able to feel comfortable in a new culture, and felt that I had the tools I needed for success. While our group did have the support of YCI staff, we also were able to run the project under our own initiative.

I really enjoyed my experience volunteering in Ghana, it was a unique opportunity to work with and learn from my Ghanaian peers.
