Program Details

In Ghana, there is an ongoing need for native English speakers. To help provide lessons and instructions in both rural and urban schools. We place volunteers in rural schools that greatly lack native English-speaking teachers. As an education volunteer you will help children learn the correct use of English words; master English grammar, encourage writing, reading, and comprehension skills. This will let the children practically learn the language and may be able to improve their verbal skills.

This volunteer project involves teaching primary and junior high school children using dedicated one-on-one sessions to help bring them up to required standards. The aim is to give certain students extra attention as they have fallen behind among their peers.

Volunteers are to work in rural and semi-rural primary schools located in and around the areas to teach children. Volunteers mainly teach children aged between 4-16years. Typical subjects to be taught include English (Conversational and Written), Maths, Creative Arts, Religious Education, Music and Dance, Entrepreneurship skills, General Knowledge. As well as Physical Education a sports program in schools.

Although English is an important in Ghana and is widely spoken, volunteers find that the conversational and vocabulary skill of the students in this area is not up to the level. Having good English language skills is very important for the students as it plays an important role in attaining good jobs in different parts of the country.

Volunteers are to teach for approximately 4-5 hours a day, five days a week. In this program, volunteers can work by themselves or alongside other teachers. Volunteers are encouraged to use new and innovative teaching methods and teach in a fun way technique to the students.
