Job description
�� Important Eligibility Note:
This is an onsite, self-funded international volunteer and internship placement located in Ghana. This opportunity is open ONLY to international applicants traveling from outside the African continent (including Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica). Because SFLIG Volunteers operates on a sustainable, grassroots model, participants must fully fund their own experience, including international flights, visa arrangements, and the program fee which covers safe community housing, daily meals, airport pickup, and 24/7 onsite support. Local applications cannot be considered for this international framework.
Ready to step out of your comfort zone, travel with true purpose, and change young lives? Join our close-knit team in beautiful Ghana to inspire eager students, bridge vital educational gaps, and experience an unforgettable cultural immersion.
At SFLIG Volunteers, we don't believe in standard, sterile office jobs—we believe in human connection. In many of our partner communities just outside Accra, local classrooms are overflowing, and passionate teachers are stretched thin. They don't just need an extra pair of hands; they need your unique energy, your background, and your global perspective to help open up the world for their students.
This is your opportunity to break away from the everyday routine, build unmatched international leadership skills, and see the tangible, smiling results of your hard work every single morning.
Your Typical Day in the Classroom
This role is active, vibrant, and highly collaborative. You won’t just be sitting at a desk; you will be an active spark in the school community:
-
The Co-Pilot: Work hand-in-hand with local headteachers to make core subjects like English conversation, basic Mathematics, and General Sciences come alive through interactive games and discussions.
-
The Creative Spark: Bring your own hobbies across the globe! Whether you love drawing, music, painting, or sports, you will design and lead engaging workshops that build child confidence and creativity.
-
The Mentor: Provide crucial, patient one-on-one reading and arithmetic support to bright children who have fallen behind and just need someone to believe in them.
Who You Are
We care far more about your heart, your drive, and your empathy than a piece of paper. You are the perfect fit if:
-
You have a deep-seated desire to travel, explore new cultures respectfully, and give back to grassroots communities.
-
You are patient, highly adaptable, and ready to embrace a vibrant, slow-paced, and welcoming new environment.
-
No formal teaching qualifications or TEFL certificates are required. We provide all the training and tools; you just need to bring the enthusiasm!
The SFLIG Volunteers Experience: What's Included
We treat our international volunteers like family from the moment they apply:
-
Total Support Network: From your comprehensive pre-departure prep to airport pickup and local orientation, our dedicated team guides you every step of the way.
-
The Perfect Work-Life Balance: Your projects run Monday through Friday, giving you long weekends to explore Ghana’s beautiful coastal beaches, historic forts, and bustling local markets with your fellow volunteers.
-
True 'Akwaaba' Hospitality: Live and work safely embedded within an authentic Ghanaian community, building lifelong global friendships.
Cultural Experience & Weekend Tours
Volunteering with SFLIG is a full cultural immersion. Beyond your hours at your placement, you will experience the famous warmth and hospitality of Ghana through local language lessons, traditional cooking sessions, and community gatherings.
On the weekends, you will have the opportunity to join coordinated group excursions to explore Ghana's rich history and breathtaking landscapes. Depending on your placement region, weekend tours can include:
-
Walking the canopy bridges at Kakum National Park.
-
Exploring the historic Cape Coast and Elmina Castles.
-
Visiting the vibrant cultural markets of Kumasi.
-
Relaxing on the beautiful beaches of the coastal region.
Program Flexibility & Hours
-
Flexible Start Dates: This is an all-year-round opportunity. Volunteers and interns select their own arrival and departure dates to align with their personal, professional, or academic schedules.
-
Customizable Schedules: You have the flexibility to determine your daily school/center shift lengths and the total number of hours you wish to commit each day, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the local culture.
Application Instructions
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with SFLIG Volunteers in Ghana.
Please note that this is an onsite, self-funded international volunteer programme. Volunteers are responsible for their programme fee, international flights, visa, travel insurance and any personal expenses.
We are looking for enthusiastic, caring and adaptable individuals who are passionate about supporting children's education and are willing to immerse themselves in Ghanaian culture.
Please answer all screening questions carefully. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted with further information about the programme and next steps.
