How do I apply ?
To apply for one of our positions please complete the online application form. Once we receive your application we will review it and send you additional information on the placement(s) of your choice together with an application form. You will need to complete the application form and return it to us with an up to date CV (resume). The resume will be forwarded to the organisation of your choice and once we receive confirmation of acceptance from them we will send you an invoice. Upon receipt of the deposit your placement will be secured.
All volunteers & interns at the refugee settlement must be approved by the camp management and carry their id-card on them at all times. Please therefore ensure you send us a scanned passport photo (or something similar) as soon as possible.
Can we fax or post the required documentation to you?
Please email all documentation to us as fax and postal services in Ghana can be very unreliable.
