TEACHING IN SCHOOLS IN GHANA

Teaching in low-income communities can increase employment opportunities and ultimately help people to become economically independent. These students, of all ages and backgrounds would appreciate the opportunity to interact with fluent speakers and the extra assistance would be welcomed by local teachers. Volunteers with qualification in respective fields can provide a real contribution to the community and have great fun in the process.

Placements are in primary or secondary schools and special schools. All our placements have one thing in common: a genuine need for qualitative education.
