YSA Global, a youth development organization, has launched its third Impact Circle Cohort, enrolling fifty young women in a year-long leadership and career development program. This initiative builds on the success of previous cohorts, reaching a total of 150 women since its inception. Each participant is paired with a mentor from various fields of expertise, including technology, business, health, and sustainability, to guide them throughout their journey.

The program consists of two phases, with the first three months focused on capacity development and the remaining nine months dedicated to community outreach and engagement.

During the program, participants learn about financial literacy, emphasizing the importance of building healthy money habits from the start of their careers. Experts also highlight the significance of attitude, communication, and accountability in the workplace, as these qualities are crucial for long-term success. Public speaking skills are also a key focus, with participants practicing organization, confidence, and credibility in their presentations.

Alumni of the program, such as Esther Agyei and Precious Ofori, have shared how the Impact Circle initiative has transformed their lives, fostering growth in leadership skills, critical thinking, and advocacy. YSA Global aims to equip young women with the practical skills, networks, and experience necessary to succeed in their careers and communities, ultimately creating a ripple effect that benefits many more lives.
