Football and Teaching Project Ghana

Join this programme and help to coach football and teach English to school and street children in Ghana. Sport, particularly football, has been an excellent medium to alleviate the financial and educational hardships that many children in Africa face and has been the perfect way to encourage children to interact and develop on a day-to-day basis.

The purpose of these projects is to help develop the overall talent and education of children, with football as the main attraction. With a passion for football that is matched by their warmth to foreign volunteers, Ghana is a great place to join a sports volunteer project.

Voluntary Work

The programme is mainly based in Accra the Capital, however, our coordinator can place you in one of 10 different regions all over Ghana. Each region and placement has a fairly different structure and can offer a different kind of experience, all depending on what you are hoping to achieve.

At the project, you will assist local coaches, arrange games, referee short matches and help to coach technique and tactics.

Most football coaching will take place in the afternoons and evenings, when the weather is cooler and the local children have finished school. Because of this, you have an opportunity to teach in local schools during the mornings. In most cases, this will represent 2-3 hours of teaching a day, Monday to Friday.
