Overview

Join our Teaching Volunteer Program in Ghana and help bridge the educational gap in under-resourced schools and community learning centers. As a teaching volunteer, you'll assist local teachers, support children’s learning, and bring creative energy into the classroom.

This program is ideal for aspiring teachers, education students, or anyone passionate about helping children succeed academically. Your role contributes directly to improving literacy, numeracy, and self-confidence among students from low-income communities.

Highlights

• Make a lasting impact by helping students improve reading, writing, and math skills.
• Support teachers in overcrowded classrooms, offering individualized attention to students.
• Introduce fun, interactive learning methods to boost engagement and creativity.
• Build cross-cultural friendships while gaining valuable teaching experience.
• Explore Ghana’s rich culture and beautiful landscapes during your free time.

Volunteer Role

Depending on your interests and experience, you may:

• Assist teachers with lesson planning and classroom management
• Teach English, Math, Science, or creative arts
• Organize games, reading circles, or group discussions
• Tutor struggling students one-on-one
• Help with extracurricular clubs like drama, sports, or debate

You’ll be placed in a basic school (primary or junior high), and your efforts help reduce the burden on local educators while making learning more enjoyable for students.
