During the orientation process, The Directors will take you through reviews about health and safety information, cultural customs and everything you need to know.

 Our History

In 2005 PREVOG started as a neighborhood group initiative to assist in communal labor, awareness creation and other community self help activities; such as clean up exercises and common issues concerning the community by the current programs director, Evans Kwashie Fiawoyipe and other well meaning members. We strongly believe in the saying “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”. Stated by the Former President of the United States of America - John F. Kennedy. By extension, he's asking every one what he/she can do to be a contributor to the world.

The organizations started without an office, but through hard work from members and volunteers we had acquired an appreciable office with all the necessary ICT facilities. PREVOG has partnered and continue to partner a good number of reputable organizations in Ghana looking for international volunteer/interns and continue to coordinate meaningful volunteer and internship work for business professionals, fire-fighters, journalists, engineers, photographers, researchers, students and more who wanted to share their professional experience.
