Virginia Global Partnership organized the Ghana internship program especially for international students in several different areas, including caring for orphaned children, sustainable agriculture and conservation, English teaching, and health care. Virginia Global Partnership can offer internships in Ghana in any area related to Ghana, in collaboration with our local partners.

Under the Ghana internship program, the intern engages in daily project activities. In most cases, interns develop a report paper in a particular area of interest by working closely with the Virginia Global Partnership project staff. Generally, the director of this project serves as a supervisor for the intern. As an intern, you will stay with a host family who lives near the project in which you are involved. Most of the time, the director of the project will work to help you successfully complete your field report. Please contact Virginia Global Partnership if you need any help locating information and materials for your internship program. In order to get the most out of your internship position in Ghana, Virginia Global Partnership recommends at least two weeks of language and culture programs. These programs will provide you with a necessary, comprehensive start in exploring the every day issues of Ghana. Many times, language difficulties hinder the effectiveness of interning. Furthermore, it is possible to organize extra tutorials with experts in particular areas with additional fees. Virginia Global Partnership suggests that you correspond with us if you have special needs for your internship.
