The Play & Learn Foundation is slowly diversifying programming and expanding to other underserved communities.
The Play & Learn Foundation (PAL) brings together boys and girls who have a passion for play, a drive to lead, and a desire to pursue academic and professional excellence. By targeting underserved communities, PAL seeks to provide opportunity where it is most needed. Play & Learn engages youth in programming that encompasses football and sport training, academic support, mentorship, and community outreach.
Football is the force that transcends tribal divisions, language, age, and other cultural divides.
It is the organization's goal to provide a space where local students are provided with a safe environment to build these skills through problem solving, creativity and sports so they are empowered to become impactful to society.
Volunteer teachers have three days in the week to meet the designated kids they are supposed to tutor after school from 3pm to 5.30pm.
The Organization has recently implemented our new “Nkonsonkonson Mentor Program.” This initiative seeks to pair children with mentors over the course of 4 months to a year.
Samuel Phelp, Program Alumna, Tanzania
As a first-generation college student studying abroad in Ghana, I did not know what to expect. I believed my 4 months would solely consist of studying and touring the country – little did I know, I would have the opportunity to volunteer with a foundation that strengthened my passion, empowered my dreams and, most importantly, enlightened me about the kids in Ghana, specifically in Accra.
For over 5 years we have been making impact in the lives of children.
