Under 18 Volunteering - High School Volunteer Abroad (HSVA)

Our Generation Voluntary Organisation offers volunteering opportunities for individuals who are under 18. The organization receives hundreds of teenagers in Ghana from around the globe every year through specially designed Under 18 Volunteer projects – High School Volunteer Abroad. These projects aim to give young adults aged 15 to 17 a perfect blend of volunteering, cultural and language immersion, skills training, and adventure activities during their summer abroad. Participants choose from a variety of volunteer abroad projects, working with a group from their school or taking local language lessons and truly immersing themselves in the local communities while contributing to critical development projects. Volunteering abroad at a young age not only helps young adults gain a better understanding of the world, its problems, and how they can be solved. Universities and employers also see it as something that sets the individual apart from other applicants.

I did enjoy the program very much. I really like the personal development and the safety and care that people showed me. Regarding the accommodation, the family was very friendly and open, but the house itself was a bit dirty. The project I was volunteering at was the school. The kids was very engaging and the teachers was very helpful. I would have wished I was told that they had exams and where vacating the two weeks i was there, so I could have prepared myself for the activities instead of education. The different sightseeing i did during my stay was very interesting and educational, which I am very happy about. I also like the fact that I could decide for myself what I wanted to see or not. You should be prepared to pay for attractions and some food plus water yourself. My total experience has been very great! I think for me, it was very important for me to have some other volunteers around me. In my case there were no one other than me to attend the high school special but one girl, who attended the healthcare project.
