College Preparation

The YAF Ghana Scholars program identifies and supports academically ambitious, low-income Ghanaian high school graduates to gain scholarships to study in top colleges and universities in North America and in Ghana.

The SAT Bootcamp is a year-round program that blends rigorous SAT preparation with insights into the U.S. education and college application processes, helping low-income students to successfully compete for scholarships at U.S. colleges and universities.

The YAFG Skills Academy excites, educates, and equips students from low income communities by delivering high quality STEM education programs that empower students to achieve economic mobility and better life chances.

The YAFG Leaders Network empowers the next generation of Ghanaian leaders and equips them with diverse perspectives and skills necessary to drive change. We introduce young leaders to year-round service projects, career development programs, and networking opportunities with local organizations.
