Teaching in in Ghana

Volunteers in this program teach English to local children in either private, government, or mission schools. Although English is the official language of Ghana, the children rarely get to learn from non-Ghanaian speakers of the language. Volunteers do NOT have to be native speakers of English.

Volunteers will receive assistance from us and the local school regarding the lesson plans and teaching curriculum. There will be a Teaching Guide book to assist you in your daily work with the children.

Volunteers can bring along teaching materials such as picture books, instruments, flash cards, art supplies, and songs. Classes are generally in session five days a week. The total number of teaching hours is about 25-30 per week.
