Description: Human Rights & Education Centre, an organisation that started as a young people's human rights program to help address human rights abuses against young and marginalized people.

The centre seeks to confront human rights issues that leave the voice of these communities silent; to help them reclaim their voice to be heard in the society where we live. They believe sexual rights are as fundamental as human rights.

The organisation uses the Popular Education methodology to reach out to the targeted individuals and communities. Popular Education means, education by the people, with the people, and for the people.

Some of the methods used by the centre to reach targeted communities and schools are the use of peer educators, interactive theatre, role-plays, rap songs, dance, sculpture, story-telling and poetry, etc.

A performing Arts volunteer is needed to help in the training and facilitation of theatre performances in schools and the community. Experience in theatre arts will be an added advantage.

Africa Volunteer's Mission Statement: We recruit volunteers and interns on behalf of organisations in need in Ghana. We have been working with organisations in Ghana for a long time and are well established and recognised as one of the largest recruiters of volunteers in Ghana. Our continued presence in Ghana allows us to ensure the needs of the volunteer and organisation are met. We hope our volunteers will become responsible global citizens as a result of their experience with us, promoting the need for social change and raising awareness in their home communities on the issues they encountered. Africa has a lot to offer but also needs support, the support it rightfully deserves. It is hoped that volunteers will bring the required expertise, enthusiasm and positive thinking to help organisations grow and improve their services to the community.
