Who Volunteers

Our volunteer program gives volunteers the opportunity to work and travel abroad while making a difference in the world.

We believe everyone can contribute by volunteering. Recent graduates from high school, college or university, professionals taking a career break, recent retirees, individuals or groups who are interested in a change and the chance to enrich their own life and the lives of others. If you are 18 years or older you can apply for any of the placements available. If you are from 16-18 years old you may apply for placements near our Volunteer Abroad Office and Residence, so that we are able to give you more support.

Both students and professionals are needed for placements in all our countries.

PLACEMENT HIGHLIGHT

Ghana - Social Programs


	Autism Awareness, Care & Training The Autism Awareness, Care & Training organization needs volunteers to help with their programming at the center. They also need assistance with the daily care and education for the children with autism at the center, developing public awareness campaigns with newspapers, national TV and radio to discuss autism to help reduce the social stigma around the disease. The center would also benefit from new educational approaches to teaching language and communication, assistance implementing life-skills training and different types of therapy including sensory integration therapy and art and music therapy, and help training the caregivers, parents, family members, attendants and professionals; Volunteers may also have the opportunity to participate on field trips and extracurricular activities, and by providing respite care for families.
