Volunteer Ghana offers opportunities for volunteer work in rural Ghana, through various community
volunteering projects, giving you a chance to experience the culture, the people and much more.
What volunteer work in Ghana can I do?
We’re looking for volunteers in Ghana who will contribute to
projects in communities where help is most needed.
At a one-to-one UK orientation interview we’ll discuss your skills, experience and
of course, preferences to ensure that you’re assigned to the right project for you.

to find a project you’re interested in.
How long can I go for?
Our Volunteer Ghana placements last
either 2 or 3 months and include a five-day arrival orientation.
You’ll have the chance to travel at weekends but to make the most of this fantastic
country why not leave some time at the end of your programme to explore further
afield?
Where will I be working?
Our Ghanaian projects are community based.
The majority of our volunteers are placed in rural areas of the Ashanti, Central
and Eastern regions of Ghana, although projects do also exist in other parts of
the country.
Who will I be working with?
We place volunteers in existing projects, working alongside
local people.
Our volunteer in Ghana programme is essentially designed to provide independent
experiences which promote integration with the local people. You may also be working
alongside another international volunteer.
Where will I be living?
As part of our ‘Local Approach’, we believe that living with
a host family is the best way for volunteers to become fully immersed into the local
culture. You’ll be placed with a family in a Ghanaian community, a short distance
from your project. Your host will welcome you into their family and help you to
settle into the local area. You might be living with another volunteer.
Houses can be very basic and may not have running water or a constant source of
electricity. Enjoying home-cooked food, sharing stories and life experiences and
learning the local language will give you a unique and memorable experience.
