Fees: Interns and volunteers generously contribute their time and skills and pay a reasonable fee to help cover the costs of housing and managing a superior internship program including full-time staff support.

The Internship/Volunteer Program Fee covers the following items: Pre-departure support, Orientation Packet, Lodging in Ghana, In-country volunteer support, Project-related expenses

In an effort to keep the program flexible enough to cover the needs and wants of all types of participants, volunteers are responsible for covering the cost of food and in-country ground transportation during their stay. Depending on one's level of required comfort, food and transport can be either pennies a day, or dollars a day.
