YOUTH LEADING CHANGE
WHAT WE DO
Youth Mobilization for
Change
At YEFL-Ghana, we believe in
safe spaces for effective youth
mobilization and engagements.
This we do through facilitating the
establishment of district and Regional
Youth Networks. By facilitating safe
spaces, it brings youth of diverse
backgrounds to meet, learn, share and
take actions by doing it themselves
to influence change process in their
respective communities and demand
accountability from duty bearers.
YEFL-Ghana will facilitate youth to
have space and platforms to promote
civic engagement and advance
their interests at all levels of their
development.
Youth Voices and Civic Engagements
YEFL-Ghana seeks to use
communication and media to amplify
their voices and address issues
affecting them. We help the youth to
develop their communicative capacities
for engagement with development
actors. Community Journalism is
one of the main approaches YEFL –
Ghana employs to ensure that youth
communication is youth produced,
and youth owned. We train them on
the use of communication tools to
fight injustices in their communities.
We link them to appropriate media
channels to enable them to participate in development discussions. It is also to inform both internal and external publics on young people’s ability to use digital and communication skills to facilitate change in their communities.
YEFL-Ghana recognizes the urgent need to foster entrepreneurial mindsets and provide youth with the skills, resources, and support systems necessary to create and sustain their own businesses, thereby contributing to economic growth and reducing poverty. Through the support provided by YEFL and its partners, young people are equipped with vocational, entrepreneurial, and professional skills
training to strengthen youth-focused businesses. In doing so, the organisation contributes directly to
the achievement of SDG 1, which focuses on ending poverty in all its forms. SDG 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all youth.
Youth, Peace and Security
The rise in social and political tensions, coupled with economic inequalities and
marginalization, places many young
people at risk of being drawn into violent
extremism and conflict. In Northern
Ghana, where socio-economic challenges are more pronounced, the potential for youth radicalization is a growing concern. YEFL-Ghana seeks to promote social cohesion, empower marginalized youth, and foster peaceful coexistence through dialogue,
leadership development, and
community-driven initiatives that
address the root causes of violence
and promote inclusion.
Arts, Cultural Exchange and Sport for Development
Arts and Culture is at the core of our
existence as a people and society. At
YEFL-Ghana we tap into the power
of arts to empower young artists
and activist to use arts innovatively
and creatively to address societal
issues of interest and become change
makers. Since 2018, YEFL has worked
strategically with art as a vehicle for
change and has established national
and regional artist collaborations
and networks to support artists to
be actively engaged. We engage the youth in sporting activities, which holds virtues and values such as patience, tolerance, respect for others, equal rights, participation, health, sharing, peace and unity which are necessary ingredients for development.
Youth in Climate Awareness and Resilience Building
YEFL works to transform the youth
to secure their futures and adapt to
climate change by innovating local
solutions that have global impact.
YEFL works to build the agencies of
the youth to secure their futures as
young farmers, climate reporters and
environmental brigades, with the
voice to speak up on climate agendas
globally as climate reporters and able
to adapt to climate change locally.
