I have never been a part of an organization as unique as this. Their mission is extremely important and you can see the change it is making when young individuals ask questions about HIV or teen pregnancy when they typically wouldn’t. Youth Health Ghana makes sure the volunteers play a crucial role in every part of their journey. This is truly life changing for everyone involved.
