French Teaching Volunteer Program

Ghana been surrounded by French speaking languages that, there is the need for French lessons in our schools. French language has been thought from lower primary to Junior high level. Some of our schools especially the rural schools don't have French teachers to help teach it.

We therefore seek for French speaking volunteers who are interested to teach French, assist French teachers or just to play with the children using everyday basic French conversation words as well as helping to explain their French exercises and homework.

This placement does not need a qualified French teacher; anyone who is able to communicate freely in French qualifies for this placement.

Once acquainted with the school and the curriculum, volunteers on this program in Ghana get the chance of teaching independently. It is important that volunteers are flexible as there are a number of other tasks they can help with. These might include helping children with their homework, arranging games and activities, cleaning the classroom and assisting teachers with administrative duties.

It is not compulsory to have prior teaching experience or to have completed formal teacher training to volunteer in Ghana for this program. Volunteers level of involvement within the classroom can be tailored to suit their skills and interests. A willingness to share and an ability to be proactive is important and will make volunteers a valuable addition to any classroom.

This French volunteer program is available in rural and semi-rural areas in Ghana. All these locations are safe, secure and friendly to our potential volunteers. Volunteers have the opportunity to choose any of the location and volunteers on long stay of more than a month can do the placement in two different locations.
