Of volunteer opportunities, "FCA hosts a limited number of volunteers who wish to learn about contemporary art in Ghana, while contributing to the work of the Foundation. Volunteers need to pay their own airfare and local subsistence costs. FCA provides logistical support for the volunteer’s work programme. Contact FCA or our partner Ikando http://www.ikando.org/ for further information about volunteering with FCA."
