Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Women in Progress is currently looking for motivated individuals to be part of the first group to volunteer abroad in Ghana, Africa. Through a short-term volunteer overseas assignment, you will have an impact on helping Women in Progress put the proper processes in place in order to roll out the volunteer program on a larger scale.

If you are up for this challenge, just follow these simple steps to apply for a volunteer position.

Application Process
  1. Complete and submit the Registration Form with a non-refundable $100 deposit to initiate the placement process.
  2. Women in Progress will contact you within two weeks to discuss your interests, potential volunteer positions, and other pre-departure requirements.
  3. Women in Progress will send or email you additional forms to be completed (health & emergency contact form, volunteer agreement).
  4. Pay the remainder of your Program Fee to Women in Progress 60 days before departure.
  5. Once a match is made, you will receive a/n:
    • Volunteer Orientation Packet (introduction to the culture, tips on packing and traveling, what to expect, etc.)
    • Overview of your assigned business and location
    • Description of the project’s objectives
