The program is committed to supporting young Lawyers build and maintain sustainable careers in the legal aid sector. Legal volunteers gain in-depth understanding of the historical development of the legal system of Ghana. Supervised by senior Lawyers, volunteers work with Law Firms, visit the courts; District Courts, Circuit Courts, High Courts among others to have a Ghanaian court room experience. Volunteers will also have the chance to visit selected Law Faculties in Greater Accra Region and the Ashanti Region. You will also get the chance to visit some selected prisons.
Volunteering in Ghana with iLeap means you are inspiring others and advancing transformations required for the SDG’s to take root in communities. SDGs can only be realized with strong global volunteerism and partnerships. You will also discover that Ghana is a peaceful and safe country with beautiful culture, chieftaincy institutions, beaches, colonial cities, and natural treasures.
ILeap will help you learn more about the Ghanaian culture in a different way. Volunteer with us to bring lasting transformation to vulnerable communities.
