On Saturday, we proudly celebrated the graduation of the first cohort of the Adolescent Girls Academy (AGA), marking the successful completion of an inspiring eight week journey for 30 young women and recent Senior High School graduates.
Over the past eight weeks, the participants have explored and developed practical skills in Digital Skills, Entrepreneurship and Employability, Health and Wellbeing, and Leadership and Life Skills. Through these sessions, they have built confidence, broadened their perspectives, and gained practical tools to help them navigate life beyond Senior High School.
One of the highlights of the graduation was an engaging conversation on career pathways and life after Senior High School, facilitated by our mentors, Hairiya Bala, Nihad Naana Karim and Sawudatu Z. Salifu. Their insights encouraged the participants to think critically about their career choices, navigate uncertainty with confidence, and take intentional steps towards their aspirations.
The graduation may mark the end of the Academy, but we believe it is also the beginning of new possibilities for these young women.
The Adolescent Girls Academy is a collaborative initiative of Thrive Nest Ghana and Allied Relief, committed to equipping young women with the skills, knowledge, confidence, and support they need as they transition into the next chapter of their lives.
Congratulations to our first cohort. We are proud of you and excited to see where your journeys take you next!
