Volunteering

Our Childcare Projects are ideal for volunteers who care deeply about helping children in less developed communities. You don’t need previous work experience with children. All you need is the drive to help every child access the care which many of us take for granted. All of your tasks will be guided by local staff.

• Create activities that will benefit the children you’re working with for the long-term
• Evaluate motor and social skills alongside local staff
• Plan and run fun activities like arts and crafts or sports games

You’ll give back to a community that needs help while developing your own skills. You’ll enhance your global competencies through childcare volunteer opportunities in Ghana.

• Teamwork
• Leadership
• Resilience
• Organizing
• Planning
• Time management
• Independence

Skills that you can expect to develop during your childcare volunteer include:

• Experience in childcare and Early Childhood Development (ECD)
• The ability to work and empathize with people of different cultures and backgrounds helping to develop a ‘global mindset’
• Confidence from pushing past your comfort zone

Childcare work abroad will also boost your resume, college applications, and your personal development in general.

Travel to Ghana on a wildlife conservation volunteer program and experience the raw beauty and vulnerability of nature as you work alongside an international team. Together you’ll protect endangered animals and ecosystems. So get your backpack because you’re going on an adventure!

Our programs cover an incredible range of environments from mountainous towns to the national parks that inspired Darwin to ponder the origin of life. If you love volunteer work with animals, you can unleash your passion in different ways like:

• Protect and care for animals like elephants, lions, and leopards at a nature reserve in Shai Hills
• Explore the rich biodiversity and wildlife of the Mole Game Reserve
• Support wildlife rehabilitation at the renowned Tafi Atorme Monkey Sanctuary

You’ll support and learn from professional environmentalists and scientists as well as people from the local community. We offer safe, ethical, and sustainable animal volunteer programs in Ghana. You’ll always be aware of the impact of your work, and you’ll gain hands-on wildlife conservation work experience. These include reforestation efforts and scientific research methods.

These programs are also a good fit for anyone interested in getting first-hand insight into global environmental issues. You’ll do hands-on work which includes educating local people about the importance of protecting the planet. Your activities will involve doing scientific research, collecting data in the field, reforestation, and more.

By working with animals in the heart of nature, you’ll give back to a community that needs help while developing your own skills. These are some of the benefits you’ll gain on a wildlife conservation volunteer project:

• Knowledge of practical conservation and environmental sciences
• Global competencies like teamwork, communication, leadership, resilience, organizing, planning, and time management
• The ability to work and empathize with people of different cultures and backgrounds helping to develop a ‘global mindset’
• Confidence from pushing past your comfort zone

All of the above will help your personal development and add practical wildlife conservation work experience to your resume.

Volunteer building work abroad is a great way to gain hands-on construction experience while giving back to those who need help. You’ll make a direct impact on people’s lives by building houses, schools, community centers, or hospitals.

Many of our building volunteer opportunities are located in underprivileged areas where basic infrastructure is lacking. You’ll join other like-minded volunteers, local community members, and professional builders to construct the buildings that are so badly needed.

Volunteering on a building project abroad means you’ll help with various construction tasks. These might include laying bricks, mixing cement, plastering walls, or painting. No matter what your experience level is, you can contribute. We provide on-site training and supervision for all volunteers, so don’t worry if you’ve never done building work before!

Building Programs

• Housing (Low income)
• Classrooms
• Clinics
• Hospitals
• Public Buildings
• Animal Shelters
• Other

If you’re interested in doing construction work, learning new skills, and helping others, then yes, volunteer building work abroad is a great choice for you!

Our construction programs are open to everyone, whether you’re on a gap year, looking for career break opportunities, or wanting to experience something different in your retirement.

Building volunteer work abroad will give you hands-on experience and new skills that will be useful in your future career and personal life. You’ll develop global competencies like teamwork, communication, and leadership. You’ll also gain confidence from pushing past your comfort zone and learn how to work and empathize with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

These benefits will help your personal development and enhance your resume.
