We have partnership arrangements with institutions in Ghana in a wide range of fields including: education, agriculture, construction, environment and disaster relief, water and sanitation, data collection/statistics, health and population, small-scale enterprise development, eco-tourism, health and environment, child care, women in development, rehabilitation for physically and mentally handicapped, AIDS projects, office/computer, rural technology, food and nutrition orphanages, home for the disabled.

Our Teaching Internship is designed to give university students the opportunity to develop their teaching skills in a structured setting. The student teacher will have a teacher mentor and supervisor at the school where they are working. Student teachers are also given an extra five-day orientation specific to teaching in the Ghanaian school system.

Internship programs provide opportunities for both students and employees to further the students' career by volunteering their services and learning new methods while expanding their knowledge. We place participants with both private and public institutions and Non-governmental Organizations.

This Program is open to World Wide Participants. This Program is also open to Families, Couples and Individuals.
