The location of the project is Akyem Aboakwa which is located in the Eastern Part of Ghana.

The main goal of this project is to help eradicate poverty and advance education to enable peaceful and sustainable community.

Youth in Action reaches out to youth in rural areas to confront social, health, and environmental issues. Providing hands-on activities, including teaching seminars, we address issues such as AIDS, sanitation, and general life skills. Our niche allows us to partner with other organizations to develop health, nutrition, and sanitation projects. The donation portion of our work includes sending clothing and school materials to the community and children’s homes. Our services include sending youth to school as well as organizing them for community service projects and adventure service challenges, which give them the opportunity to enhance their own communities.

Program Placements will be given based on thier own experience.

While working at the orphanage or surrounding community, volunteers will stay in a compound near the location.
Volunteers will sleep in shared rooms with other volunteers, and we endeavor to keep the rooms single gender. We also accommodate couples as well. Although we provide sheets and blankets and mosquito nets, volunteers are encouraged to bring their own sheets or sleeping bags. A three day meal will be provided for our volunteers. (Both Local and Continental).
