“The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.”
to the program that is changing the future of
West Africa – one child at a time!
Ghana desperately needs positive leaders to help solve the many problems its community faces such as HIV/AIDS, child labor, pollution, poverty, and the lack of quality education. The Future Leaders of Ghana is helping to educate these “future leaders!” We believe there is no one that can better solve the problems Ghana faces than members of its own community.
Volunteer Program:
We find students, teachers, and other ambitious adults willing to volunteer their time and talents in Ghanaian schools. These volunteers not only teach the students, but provide support and professional development opportunities for the teachers in Ghana. They also bring with them much needed school supplies from the US, so the Ghanaian teachers can continue to provide high-quality education long after our volunteers leave. Our volunteers, while experiencing an adventure of their own, are helping us pave the way for positive change in Ghana’s education system.
“School to School” Partnership Program:This program links schools in Massachusetts with our schools in Ghana. The students at both schools build friendships by exchanging stories and ideas through pen-pal letters. The aim of this program is to help teach the joy of philanthropy to US students. These students help gather donated items and brainstorm solutions to some of the problems their friends in Ghana face. As a thank you to the participating US schools, we provide a treasure chest full of African artifacts and books.
Student Exchange:The Student Exchange Program chooses highly motivated youth from Ghana, West Africa, to study in the United States for one year. Apart from experiencing a life-changing adventure, these students will learn/improve their English – a step of immeasurable importance to financial success in their country.
