Overview

The Sports Teaching Program empowers volunteers to use physical education as a tool for youth development in Ghanaian schools and communities. By organizing games, training sessions, and sports competitions, volunteers encourage teamwork, discipline, and confidence in young learners.

Why This Program?

In many underserved communities, sports are more than just games—they are a vital outlet for self-expression, physical well-being, and social development. However, most schools lack structured physical education due to limited staff and resources. This is where you step in to inspire, teach, and motivate.
