Volunteer Teaching Abroad
Travel to Ghana for a teaching abroad program and help children access the education they need for a brighter future. We know that education is essential for breaking down the barriers of poverty and inequality. We see it every day on our Teaching Projects. By joining us on a volunteer teaching placement, you’ll be able to make this change happen yourself!
Expectations from our teaching volunteer opportunities:
- Work with children and young people in elementary schools, high schools, or colleges
- Learn from and support local teachers as a teaching assistant
- Contribute to lessons and get real classroom experience
- Get a first-hand perspective on global education and its challenges
We have short and long-term teaching abroad placements available. If you’re passionate about a specific subject or have experience, let us know. We can make sure you’re at a project that’s the best fit for you. We have:
- Programs for volunteers wanting to teach English
- Placements for volunteers interested in teaching basic computer skills
- Opportunities for volunteers wanting to teach physical education abroad
- We also place you on a teaching project as requested in application
Our programs run year-round, and you can join a trip at any time. It’s ideal if you’re looking for summer teaching programs abroad or are interested in teaching during the school year.
Is an international teaching program right for me?
Our teaching abroad opportunities are for you if:
- You’re interested in education and how people learn
- Your career path includes this vision: seeing yourself at the front of a classroom, motivating students, and helping them realize their full potential

- You’re a retired teacher looking for volunteer opportunities
- You’d like to empower the next generation of global citizens

If any of these points interest you, then we can help! We have teaching overseas programs to suit different levels of experience and interests. You can learn how to teach abroad, or use your skills to make a real difference.
Teach English around the world and use the experience to build a strong resume. You’ll also have an edge in interviews, especially if you’re applying for a teaching qualification. You’ll work alongside a local teacher, and we’ll teach you what you need to know before you step into a classroom. You don’t need:
- A TEFL or CELTA qualification
- Previous teaching experience
- Knowledge of the local language
All you need to teach English abroad is a passion for education. We also organize Teaching Internships for those with specific requirements.
