Be a GMAD Volunteer

Pay your volunteer fees here -

Thank you for volunteering to help our efforts in Ghana. Your volunteer work in Ghana is essential to our success there. In order to truly make a difference in Ghana, you will need time to physically acclimate and to learn about the work you will be doing. Because of this, we have a minimum stay of one week and we encourage you to stay as long as you can. As you will see below, staying longer also helps you to make the most of your volunteer fees.

How much are your volunteer fees?

  • If you are paying for one volunteer between 7 days and 30 days
    • The volunteer fee is a flat $1,085.
