Internships in Ghana with sports nonprofit
Impact Youth Foundation is a nonprofit organization in Ghana that empowers young people through sport-centered development. The team focuses on creating opportunities for personal growth by providing access to quality coaching, mentorship, and safe spaces for youth to thrive. Through its programs, the organization uses sports as a catalyst to build confidence, resilience, leadership, and teamwork—helping students unlock their potential both on and off the court. They identify and support particularly talented young athletes, offering pathways to further training and educational opportunities.
Beyond sports performance, Impact Youth Foundation runs community initiatives that address broader social challenges. Key projects include educational mentorship programs, youth leadership workshops, and entrepreneurship training, which equip young people with practical skills for future success. To promote gender equity, the ‘She Shines’ project has empowered more than 200 adolescent girls with tools, resources, and coaching to pursue their ambitions and build meaningful careers. Together, these efforts foster a supportive environment where youth are inspired to excel and contribute positively to their communities.
