Volunteer in Ghana

The vibrant culture and welcoming people provide a rewarding experience for anyone looking to volunteer in Ghana. Our specialist voluntary projects in Ghana are available for anyone interested in volunteering in the developing world, including professionals on a career break, recent graduates or retired seniors.

Formerly a British colony known as the ‘Gold Coast’, Ghana is an enchanting country found on the West coast of Africa. Volunteers enjoy sandy beaches and wild rainforests as well as numerous opportunities for exploration and travel to nearby Cote D’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Togo. Ghanaians are incredibly friendly and welcoming, keen to share their culture and rightly proud of being one of the safest and most politically-stable countries in Africa. The fact that it is an English-speaking country makes it incredibly accessible and perfect for skilled volunteers seeking jobs overseas.
