The Youth Government Initiative (YGI) uses simulations of the three arms of government, mentorships, internships, and training on the three arms of government under the 1992 Constitution of Ghana to create a new generation of patriotic young Ghanaians imbibed with the spirit, tenets, and best practices of ethical legislative leadership, good governance, justice delivery, democracy, peacebuilding, international diplomacy, and global citizenship practice.
