Exchange Program for community service and learning

Since it's  establishment  in 2004, the Okyeame Dankwa Memorial Library and PACE-Ghana  has served as the foundation for numerous programs and projects that have enhanced the lives of local community members and many visitors from organizations and universities from the United States. PACE-Ghana provide cross cultural service learning for students,  interns, youth programs, colleges and universities, churches and community organization.

We currently partner with Fordham University, LeMoyne College, ProLiteracy International Program, Blue Tree Studio, Beyond Boundaries and Africa Bound.  Participants volunteer with PACE-Ghana in Worawora for 2 weeks  to a month depending on his/her flexibility. During this period intern's  lives in the local community and follow the daily routine. Interns and volunteers work with the community hospital, teach at local school, teach adult learners, renovate schools and participate in other various program offer by PACE-Ghana. Participants conduct training and activities with adult education students, tutor students and host one on one reading sections with students and children at the Okyeame Memorial Community Library. 

Participants work with the local community members to improve their living conditions and yet gain a wonderful and rich experience about Ghanaians life style, simplicity, food, language, Ghana history.

In Addition participants get a chance to visit educational historical sites such as Cape Coast Slave Castle, Elmina Slave Castle, Kakum National Park, Wli Fall, Kumasi and Accra.

PACE-Ghana accept volunteers ranging from Undergraduate and Graduate students and professonalist from all fields. We work with youth programs and churches as well. Interns and volunteers are responsible for all their expenses including accomodations, food transportantion and personal expenses.
