Global Volunteers service programs are managed by on-site staff who live in the communities we serve. Most are nationals who were either born or raised in the host country.

Your Ghana Service Program team leader is Country Manager Benjamin Tamatey. Benjamin began working with Global Volunteers in 2007.

He has a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Ghana and has worked on USAID funded educational projects using Participatory Learning and Action techniques. He also worked as a newscaster for KINGS Radio in Ghana.

Benjamin successfully completed our extensive team leader training, in 2007 and has been leading teams since that time. All our country managers have served on one or more volunteer teams, and each year are required to complete our intensive two-week training seminars in Minnesota. They are experienced in managing diverse groups of people, and are formally evaluated by each volunteer team. County Managers must achieve an established level of performance in order to continue leading Global Volunteers teams.

You'll receive contact information for your Ghana Country Manager approximately four weeks before your service program begins.
