Volunteering Projects in Ghana (Teaching)

Invite Friends to Volunteer

Description

The Global Volunteer Network currently has volunteer teaching opportunities in local schools throughout Ghana, teaching a variety of subjects through our partner organization.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to make a lasting difference in Ghananian communities through education while experiencing African culture and life.

Many schools in Ghana are currently struggling with overcrowded classes and a lack of skilled teachers. As a volunteer you will help to empower girls and boys by giving them the skills they need for the future and to make their voice heard.

We have opportunities for volunteers to assist with teaching in the following:

* Pre-School (4-5 year olds)
* Primary School (6-11 year olds)
* Junior Secondary School (12-14 year olds)

Subjects range from language and literacy, maths, science, computer skills, environmental studies, physical development, and psychosocial skills to creative activities such as music, dance, and art.
