Volunteer Teaching Sports Abroad
Volunteer on a Sports Project in Ghana and spend time in your chosen community helping young people have fun and challenge themselves. Sport has the capacity to change lives. Alongside promoting lifelong health and fitness, sport can offer young people a path towards confidence, self-belief, and achievement.
Our staff can help you find a sports volunteering opportunity that makes the most of your sporting skills and interests. Our most popular choices include Soccer, Surfing, and Basketball, but there are loads of other options too. If you’re passionate about a wide range of sports, you can also coach PE lessons in a school.
You’ll be helping young people improve their wellbeing, while they develop important skills like teamwork and communication. The communities we work in often struggle to prioritize sports and to supervise games. You can help us change this.
Is sports coaching in Ghana right for me?
Teaching sports in Ghana is ideal for volunteers who want to share their energy and enthusiasm for being active with disadvantaged communities.
You’ll work alongside local professionals and Eduteen Ghana Staff, as well as fellow volunteers. You’ll spend your time coaching and supervising games in your chosen sport. You don’t need any formal qualifications, just the desire to give your time and passion.
These projects are ideal for volunteers who want to be hands-on and immersed in the local community.
What will I gain from sports coaching in Ghana?
By teaching sport in Ghanaian communities as a volunteer, you’ll give back to a community that needs help while developing your own skills.
Some of the benefits that you can derive as a sports coaching volunteer are:

- Teaching and coaching experience.
- The ability to work and empathize with people of different cultures and backgrounds, helping to develop a ‘global mindset’.
