Youth Without Borders Ghana is a youth-for-youth development Non-Governmental organisation and social movement with national, continental and global outlook. We seek to courageously challenge the systems around the world of young people that hinder the full realization of their potential and development. Our commitment is to build concrete structures and solutions to address the developmental challenges facing young people and society at large.
