Program Description

Teach in a Primary or Secondary School in Ghana with United Planet

Description

Teach in a primary or secondary school tutoring in English, math, or any other subject agreed to ahead of time. Most classrooms have too many students and your assistance highly valued. If you have a special talent to share there are people who would like to learn from you: playing an instrument, singing, etc.

Highlights

The Republic of Ghana is unique in so many ways. It was the first African country to gain independence from colonial rule, and it remains an English speaking country surrounded by Francophile countries. The southern border is a stretch of beautiful coastline with gorgeous beaches. Each of its 10 regions offers a different experience from infamous slave castles and indigenous artists, to parks and the only canopy walk in Africa.

"Feel Free" is an expression you hear often. It means that you are free to be yourself and to explore what interests you. The people are known for their friendliness and hospitality, and Ghana has a democratic government that makes keeping visitors happy a top priority. The purpose of this trip is to promote a deeper level of cultural exchange and understanding through a combination of important volunteer work at local schools, social activities with Ghanaians, and both free and guided excursions in the neighborhood in which you will immerse.

It is an opportunity to live and work in an environment where you can exchange ideas and find universal connections. Experience the ultimate educational adventure, and join us on the exciting United Planet Quest to Ghana!
