Our Vision & Mission
Our Mission
To give underserved young people in Ghana high-quality IT training and a route into work, with a focus on young women, young people with disabilities and those facing financial hardship.
Our Vision
A Ghana where any young person, whatever their background, can build a career in technology.
Why We Exist
Many young Ghanaians never get the chance to learn technology properly: courses cost money, schools lack equipment, and few know the careers exist.
We close that gap with practical, hands-on training that leads to real work.
Every session, club and partnership moves us towards a Ghana where every young person can take part in the digital economy.
Our Values
Inclusion
We believe technology education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background, gender, or location.
Empowerment
Our programs are designed to give participants the skills, confidence, and opportunities to transform their lives.
Innovation
We continuously adapt our curriculum and methods to meet evolving industry needs and community challenges.
Community
Strong communities are built through collaboration, mutual support, and shared commitment to growth.
Our Partners
Working together with organizations that share our vision of empowering youth through technology education and creating sustainable impact across Ghana.
How we work
How we work
Everything we run is a cohort or a club, so learners get repetition, peer support and real projects. We track progression, not just attendance, and report it to partners.
- Cohorts, clubs, and outreach programmes are designed around repeated practice.
- Learners build visible projects instead of only completing lessons.
- Facilitators and mentors help translate skills into next-step readiness.
What we measure
We keep the work accountable by tracking access, completion, confidence, project output, and progression into employment, further study, entrepreneurship, or community leadership.
- Attendance and completion show whether the environment is working.
- Portfolios and presentations show whether learners can apply the skills.
- Follow-up outcomes show whether training is becoming real opportunity.
Our Story
IT For Youth Ghana started in 2023 when our founder, Peter Duodu, saw the gap between Ghana's growing tech sector and the lack of accessible training for young people from low-income communities. What began as small workshops has grown into cohort programmes, school clubs and community outreach that have trained 450+ young people.
