Ghana
We offer different volunteer opportunities in Ghana. You can promote early childhood development in childcare centers, or coach football to students from under-resourced communities. Or, help provide free medical attention to areas with limited access to healthcare.
We have dedicated staff who will provide you with 24/7 support if you need it.
This beautiful place has something unique to offer for everyone. You can visit historical museums, hike through rolling hills, or try traditional Ghanaian cuisine.
All Trips
If you want a life changing experience, volunteer overseas or join a group for a short term exploratory or working visit. We believe development is a two way street. You will learn as much or more from another culture as they will learn from you. Start your adventure today.
Devxchange and partners work in over 30 countries – so choose your adventure!
Building
Volunteer on a Building Project to add important resources to communities that need them most.
Our Building Projects take place in under-resourced countries all over the world. Some are in rural areas, others in cities. You can build homes, schools, daycare centers, sanitation facilities, or community buildings. Some of our projects are based in places affected by natural disasters where communities are still recovering.
Childcare
Seeing the development of a child, and being a part of that process, is priceless. As a childcare volunteer, you’ll play a direct role in helping children, while also learning new skills.
Intern Abroad
Join one of our international internships and gain work experience overseas to boost your professional development.
This is what you can expect on one of our internship opportunities abroad:
- Receive first-hand practical knowledge in your field to help your professional development
- Gain international work experience through experiential learning
- Hone vital professional skills like communication and organization
Journalism
Our media internships abroad cover radio, print, digital, and TV journalism. You’ll be working with professional journalists, seeing their day-to-day work and getting to try your hand at new skills. You could be researching and writing stories, helping with the smooth running of the project, or working on distribution.
You’ll also get a better understanding of the cultural and political background of the country you’re interning in.
Law and Human Rights
With us, you can take your career development to an international stage. Our global internships help you:
Get unparalleled insight into legal practices, human rights issues, and social challenges in low-income countries overseas
Learn directly from an international network of experienced lawyers and human rights professionals
Add practical work experience rooted in real, ongoing cases to your resume
Decide if pursuing law or human rights is the right career path for you (incredibly valuable for pre-law students!)
In North America, we often take our human rights and access to legal advice for granted. But there are people around the world whose voices aren’t heard and whose causes aren’t championed. We connect interns like you with organizations in developing countries who work tirelessly to change this.
Our programs are flexible, safe, and hassle-free. Furthermore, placements can be adjusted to your level of experience, so they can be tailored for undergraduates (pre-law), law students, graduates, and even professionals.
Medicine and Healthcare
A Medicine & Health Care Internship will help you get the real-world clinical experience you need to excel in a medical career. Our medical trips are flexible and safe. Programs can be adjusted to your level of experience, making them ideal for undergraduates and pre-meds aiming for Medical School.
Social Work
To build a better future for us all, we need to engage with the big challenges that affect countless communities around the world. A Social Work internship could see you tackling issues such as alcoholism, abuse and family problems. There’s also the option work with families affected by HIV/AIDS. Or contribute to mental wellbeing on a Psychology Internship abroad. The internships bring you face-to-face with people who need support overcoming serious challenges.
Sport's Coaching
Volunteer on a Sports Project with Projects Abroad and spend time in your chosen destination 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.
Teaching
Join a teaching abroad program and help children access the education they need for a brighter future. We know that education is essential for breaking down the barriers of poverty and inequality. We see it every day on our Teaching Projects. By joining us on a volunteer teaching placement, you’ll be able to make this change happen yourself!
Veterinary Medicine and Animal Care
We offer safe, hassle-free programs for every level, including students looking for pre-vet volunteer opportunities and large animal pre-vet internships. Get a deeper insight into the challenges animals face around the world.
