Volunteer Abroad in Ghana
Program Overview
Volunteer in Africa's most stable country. Known for its lively festivals and hospitality, Ghana's economic development is due to its export of gold, diamonds, and cocoa. It is home to people with vast backgrounds and more than 250 languages. Immerse yourself in its rich history through its involvement in the slave trade during the 15th century.
As a volunteer, you'll teach Ghana's future leaders through school programs as well as build much-needed relationships with the youth in orphanages. If you wish to help in the medical field, you can become part of rural healthcare teams or a medical center.
