Empowering the Next Generation through STEM Education
YAFG SKILLS ACADEMY
The YAF Ghana Skills Academy is at the forefront of our commitment to nurturing the potential of young minds from underserved communities in Ghana. This dynamic program is designed to excite, educate, and equip students with the tools they need for a successful future, focusing on the vital fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Bridging the Gap in STEM Education
We recognize that our educational system does not adequately prepare nor create access to high quality STEM learning and career paths for students in underserved communities. The Skills Academy is focused on one thing – transforming STEM education to ensure students from low-income background are inspired and prepared to persist toward their STEM aspirations. Our goal is to empower these young learners to attain economic mobility and improve their life prospects through a curriculum that focuses on hands-on learning, critical thinking, and problem solving skills.
