Scholars & Roots Ghana is an education and community development organization supporting children’s learning and development through education, mentorship and cultural exchange.
Volunteers join us to provide additional educational support to children in our local community. Depending on their skills and the children’s needs, volunteers may assist with English, Mathematics, reading, homework, revision and other relevant subjects and learning activities.
Volunteers can participate during the school term or during school vacations. During vacation periods, we organize additional classes, reading sessions, revision and educational activities so children can continue learning while their schools are closed.
This is also a cultural exchange experience. Volunteers share their knowledge and experience while learning about Ghanaian culture, community life and the everyday experiences of local families.
Volunteers will support children with English, Mathematics, reading, homework, revision and other relevant educational activities according to their skills and the children’s learning needs.
