Summary:
It is known that Soccer is the most loved and popular sport in Ghana that unites the entire country. In view of creating a great source of entertainment, helping children / youth to put their energies to good use, spot and groom talents in this sport for greatness and most importantly encourage children to stay in school, we have created a project called ‘soccer for change’. with the aim of giving our talented children another reason to stay in school. It will be great to have you on-board to witness our children displaying their talent in this sport with the hope of reaching their dream.
About the programme:
As a sport volunteer you will work together with the TANF management team to contribute in the day-to-day activities/training of the children/ youth, which usually takes place after school. The children taking part in this activity are 10-17 years of age. We only have limited coaches, and so rely on support from volunteers to provide the players with enough guidance for their training. You will receive guidance from the TANF management team, who will ensure you are able to support where most useful, aligning with your talents and ensuring you have a great impact during your time with us. We also encourage volunteers to lobby for used jerseys, footballs etc when coming to Ghana to help our sport for social change.
As a volunteer you will play a big part in supporting the players grow in confidence and develop their passion for this sport. In addition, we are currently in the process of setting this programme up as an official academy, and volunteers would have a chance to play a pivotal role in this. Soccer provides the players with a purpose, focus and joy, which encourages them to not only engage with the sport, but also stay in school.
The role of volunteer will be assistance trainer along side with our local trainers and teaching discipline aswel as new skills to them, Not only that but also help in recruiting new players to build a brighter future for themselves.
