As an international volunteer with 'goGhana', you're making a positive contribution, by sharing in the goals of a Ghanaian community that warmly welcomes you.

As a volunteer in Ghana, you will gain unparalleled access to a country that is rich with the traditions of West African culture. Ghana was the first African country to gain independence, and while the official language of Ghana is English, more than 70 different languages are spoken. The clan and tribal systems are part of the culture in Ghana, and many traditional chiefs operate on a parallel system with the freely elected governmental body, the District Assembly. Ghana's landscape is diverse - it has low bush lands and grassy plains in the north, rich tropical rainforests in the central belt, and plains and scrub surround a sandy coastline.
Volunteers in Ghana are involved with caring for infants and children, teaching children, teaching English, assisting teachers, working towards women's empowerment, sharing their professional skills/experience, observing and assisting local health professionals, and assisting teachers of special education.
