Background

OUR STORY

Every idea starts with something unusual. Our story was inspired by Mr. Moses Baffour Awuah, who as a student of Central University, Ghana saw the benefit he had from mentoring relationships and organized a group of high school leavers  to teach them about leadership and mentorship. As with any other idea, this has evolved to become a global leadership conference.

Testimonials

I love YAO because I just can't get enough of everything I've experienced and the opportunities that I've had as a result of being part.

Vivian Konadu Yeboah Past Participant LDTP'16

I just love the family and everything we do

Alice Dawson Past Participant LDTP'18

I believe that the youth are the future of our Country Ghana. Hence, getting more youth on board through publicity will equip , prepare and set them on the Right Paths of Purpose in Life. I am still in YAO to help get more youth on board.

Joel Tawiah CEO -- Cashtell

YAO is a dream come true. During my days in JHS one when I got to learn about the history of Ghana, I had a sudden urge to become someone of influence to help the country. So when Chief came to my school to publicise YAO, I was soo happy that this is an opportunity for me. I am still in YAO because it's the right place for me.

Doreen Dakey Past Participant LDTP'18

For me YAO is more than an organisation or a skill development front. YAO is more after a family for me. YAO has instilled in me some values that I may no have come across anywhere else. I am committed to YAO
