In this program
interested individuals, students, tourists, professionals, organizations,
and footbal Coaches can give support by contributing funds and materials
or by getting themselves involved in coaching program.
Note:
Volunteers do not have to be an accredited sports coach or knowledge
about coaching, as they will mainly be doing unskilled work such
as physical education training. They will be led and work together
with local skilled people who will be providing free labour for
the improvement of their communities.
You will need to be flexible, and have patience, compassion and
enthusiasm to face the many hurdles and challenges that you will
inevitably encounter within your role. To ensure that you get the
most out of and contribute fully to your placement, a pro-active
attitude is essential. Volunteers at this sports program must have,
above all, a love of children and a commitment to the project.
The internship program also provide an excellent opportunity for
you to gain practical international work experience in the field
of your choice while affording you the chance to experience the
unique wonders Ghana has to offer. The program director and our
country coordinator will monitor the intern's progress and also
serve as supervisor for the duration of the program. The participant
is also guaranteed a certificate from our program director upon
successful completion of the program.
Studying abroad
will expose you to diverse people and viewpoints, and you will get
to experience a different way of life apart from where you are coming
from. You will be immersed in the language, culture, and people
of Ghana and will get to experience life as a resident, not as a
mere tourist.
SPORTS VOLUNTEERING

soccer and general fitness training. You don't need to be qualified,
