Grow Ghana seeks to empower and orient students with digital & soft skills that really matter for their future with the help of our local team and volunteers from abroad. We care about true impact. This is why we put a high effort in designing, preparing and conducting the school workshops. We are dedicated to empower our students to make a real change & impact for Ghana.

The volunteers support our local team in creating, preparing and conducting these workshops and initiatives. Based on your experience and interests, you can focus on the topics that are most interesting for you and where you can create the biggest impact.

To keep our project running, part of your work will be fundraising activities to contribute to our operating budget. We will support you with tools & approaches, but also need your dedication, ideas and support on this topic.

Every day is different in Ghana... but a typical project day looks like this:
8-9 am breakfast in our volunteer house (+jogging at the beach if you like?!)
9-10 am morning briefing with the team
fundraising ideas & activities (social media, approaching new sponsors etc.)
12-1 pm lunch break with local food (if you want)
1-3 pm afternoon meetings with the team
preparation of next school session
3-4 pm school session
1-4 volunteers run the school workshops together with 1-2 local staff
the roles will be discussed upfront
4-5 pm feedback meeting & discussion about the lesson

Kokrobite is a small fisher village along the Atlantic coast, 30 km to the west of Accra the capital city of Ghana. Our little paradise Kokrobite is a hot spot for backpackers & volunteers, interested in the "untouched" pure Ghana - off the beaten track.

You can swim & surf in the ocean, there are Yoga and drum lessons available, each weekend there are legendary Reggae nights and the vibrant capital Accra is just an hour away. You can also explore the surrounding villages, mountains and pure beaches along the Gold Coast. Ghana is different and never boring - that's a promise.
