Ghana: Volunteer Teachers

Ghanaian schools face the same challenges that most schools in Africa face: overcrowding, lack of materials, and lack of teacher training. In many classrooms, the student-teacher ratio can be as high as 60-70 students per teacher. Ghanaian schools also face shortages of books, paper, pencils, and other school supplies, and teachers rarely have the opportunity to pursue further training. Volunteers work in either primary or secondary schools to assist teachers with all subjects as well as with extra curricular activities. Volunteers will greatly benefit the students by making small group activities within the classroom possible and adding an international viewpoint to the students' education.

The volunteer placements are in both rural and urban areas throughout Ghana. Each volunteer is matched with a placement on an individual basis depending on what the volunteer is looking for and the needs of the communities. Most teaching placements are in smaller towns and rural areas because these areas have more need for teaching volunteers than larger cities. Participants are provided with breakfast and dinner each day with their host family.

Participants must be at least 18 years old or older at the time of their program.
