VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS

TEACHING AND ASSISTING IN SCHOOLS

Our teaching and assisting schools program is part of our efforts to support our education system, especially less resourced schools. We seek volunteers to help mitigate the deprivation of learning and teaching aids, and to support and share knowledge with our teachers.

Volunteers help in a range of subjects, including Mathematics, Science, Geography, Social Science, History, Business Education, Art and Music, as well as English.

The teaching and assisting schools take place in Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools where volunteers initially either shadow or teach under the supervision of a local teacher. Once acquainted with the school and the curriculum, volunteers in Ghana get the chance of teaching independently. It is important that volunteers are flexible as there are a number of other tasks they can help with. These might include helping children with their homework, arranging games and activities, cleaning the classroom and assisting teachers with administrative duties.

It is not compulsory to have prior teaching experience or to have completed formal teacher training to volunteer in Ghana for this program. Volunteer’s level of involvement within the classroom can be tailored to suit their skills and interests. A willingness to share and an ability to be proactive is important and will make volunteers a valuable addition to any classroom.
