Development Internships in Accra

Join an inspiring sports focused charity for a greatly varied internship. You'll be part of a small but fast-growing nonprofit organization that uses basketball as a tool to bring upliftment to the lives of kids in and around Accra, the capital of Ghana. The organization's mission is to offer professional coaching to talented youth. On top of this, the team works with kids in a number of communities in an effort to to boost their confidence, offers health education, and equip them with relevant life skills. As an intern, you will be joining this nonprofit at their training center just outside of Accra. Your role will be focused around marketing, fundraising, and communications. Depending on your skills, experience, and interests, you can expect to do fundraising research, write grant applications, help build key partnerships, and coordinate fundraising events. You might also help develop and implement marketing and fundraising strategies, and assist with monitoring and evaluation systems. This internship is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a multifaceted work experience in a thriving nonprofit organization.

Experience living in Ghana as you assist understaffed schools with taking care of the students and teaching them English. This project will allow you to learn more about life in Ghana and the impact that foreign aid has on the community, as you integrate into the school system and work alongside the teachers. During your time at the boarding school (you will be living in a separate location) you will lead educational games and interact with the children, help them learn English and help with some repair work around the school grounds. All this whilst living a stone throws away from stunning beaches!

Our short-term community development internships cover a wide range of projects like women's empowerment initiatives, teaching programs, public health care, or professional development workshop. The exact details will depend on the needs of the local community, as determined by our local partners. This internship is especially suited to gender studies majors, budding lawyers, social workers, psychologists, educators, career breakers, or anyone wanting to make a sustainable difference abroad. This is the career kick-starter you need to improve your employability!
