The organization has designed programmes on its menu that go to achieve its aims and objectives. They include:
I. Major Work-camp
For the program, between 35-40 volunteers from all over the world come and live together in simple housing structures in the beneficiary community to partake in voluntary work which lasts for a maximum of 3 weeks.
During the period, volunteers do things in common as one people regardless of age, gender, race, social, religious and educational background. This avenue gives both foreign and local volunteers the opportunity to share life experiences and then to interact with the beneficiary community.
Normally, volunteers spend between 6-8 hours daily with the community members working on both skilled and unskilled labour such as clearing bush, planting trees, building schools, places of conveniences, hospitals, clinics, libraries, social centers and orphanages.
Volunteers at each camp draw their own program of activities, which they execute after the normal working hours and days. Example of such activities include drumming and dancing, story telling, learning of African/foreign cultures, HIV/AIDS campaigns, excursions etc.
II.Internship:Volunteers/students who would like to have a placement in this program can participate in the following fields:
a. Teaching : Participants would have placement to work in primary, Junior or Senior Secondary schools depending on choice. In these schools, internees can teach one or two of subjects like Mathematics, English Language, Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Management, Computer among others.
b. Healthcare: Volunteers opting for this would support the local doctors and nurses in activities like taking care of patience, changing bandages etc. depending on levels of experience and knowledge.
c. Working with children in Orphanages: Volunteers would help in training these fatherless and motherless children most of whom were picked on the streets. The activities in which volunteers could help in include teaching, developing projects like sports, music, art, etc.
d. Women Empowerment: Under this program, volunteers help in training our young women, teenage parents and widows in skills acquisition. By acquiring skills to engage in income generating activities, most of these young girls, who have taken to commercial sex work (prostitution) with its resultant HIV/AIDS pandemic and teenage pregnancy, are decently engaged. They can be trained in sewing (dressmaking), soap and powder making, batik, tie-and-dye making.
e. Working in other developmental institutions in Ghana: Under this programme, volunteers could work in any of the developmental institutions depending on choice.
III. MINI-ADVENTURE
The Mini-Adventure program offers the opportunity for people who want to explore the beauty of Ghana, its rich culture and peace-loving people. ALIVE FOUNDATION has therefore designed it for volunteers/students/individuals to experience the true Ghanaian lifestyle.
