PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As a volunteer, your role is to guide youths from the Eastern Region of Ghana toward a bright future in athletics. Ghanaian interest in sports is intense. This is especially true for football. Accra's young athletes are usually sponsored by their schools, families, and clubs. The same goes for youths from other wealthy locales. Their access to funds and resources give them the opportunities needed to rise in the ranks. Eventually, they can gain the attention of regional, national, and even international sports teams.
Eastern and Northern athletes have fewer opportunities because of a lack of wealth. They often have to stop competing at any serious level.
Our sports program helps underprivileged athletes by placing volunteers like you in Koforidua high schools. You'll be responsible for teaching sports to these eager children. Work involves coaching both theoretically and practically.
Being a sports professional is not required. You don't need to be a coach, athlete, or sports teacher to participate, though we do encourage you to enroll if you are. Only passion for sports and teaching is necessary. You must enjoy working with children and young adults, and being an active participant in sports activities.
Your volunteer work will get the youths excited about sports. It's surprising just how interested they can become once you're involved. Your presence is a powerful motivation for these athletes to come to practice.
