Program Overview

Volunteer abroad in Ghana with Our Generation Voluntary Organisation. Our non-profit, non-governmental African organization offers meaningful, exciting, and affordable developmental volunteer programs. These include working with orphans, teaching children in primary and junior high schools, coaching football to children, wildlife work, medical and nursing placements, dental elective, environmental conservation, micro-finance, journalism, and many more.

We currently have volunteer, internship, and culture/language immersion programs in many locations around Ghana. Our programs are among the most affordable in the industry, and we work hard to maintain low fees. Adult participants can apply independently. Participants from 15 to 17 years old are welcome to apply, but we need to receive consent from their parents via email or telephone before we can offer them placement on one of our programs. We have hosted many teenage high school students in the past.

All our programs require a good/basic level of English language, although you do not need to be a native English speaker.

Medical Volunteering in Kumasi

Overall very pleasant experience working with OGVO. Frank, our program coordinator, was very helpful and made sure that we had a rewarding experience while we were in Ghana. I spent four weeks volunteering at Aniniwah Medical Center where I was exposed to many areas of health care from consultations to surgeries. All the medical professionals we encountered were knowledgable and willing to teach. I found the whole experience invaluable as it helped me gain a better insight into how medicine works in developing countries such as Ghana.
