ABOUT THE FOUNDER
GODSWAY TEK AGYAGBO - Founder and Director of Programs
I am a Youth Development Specialist. I started my career as a teacher for the Happy Kids School in my hometown in the Volta Region of Ghana. My job as a teacher led me to mentor my students with the goal of keeping them engaged in school. From there, I worked as a Childcare Development Program Manager running boarding homes for vulnerable children in need of care.
In 2014, I co-founded the Volta Charity Football League with a Moroccan friend for the community boys. I coached football league teams to encourage sportsmanship, leadership, and confidence. This league birthed the first female football league in our region for non-governmental schools and organizations, which taught our girls that they are as talented and valued as their male counterparts. These two major leagues have been ongoing for 6 years and remained popular in our community until COVID-19 came.
After High School, I was unable to afford college until after 6 years when I got a sponsorship to pursue a course in Graphic Design. I also went on to take short courses in Non-Profit Governance and Operations. I continue my professional development with courses like Global Social Entrepreneurship, Advocacy, and other available courses online at Philanthropy University and Saylor Academy. I have also taken a few intensive workshops in School Leadership programs. Over the last 9 years, I have been gathering and analyzing cultural, educational, social, and entrepreneurial data to develop effective programs with schools and communities with the youth in focus.
Last year I developed my volunteer tourism program to bring visitors with skills to support programs with needs. I have collaborated with local schools and communities to organize youth training sessions; career and education mentorship workshops; monitor students at risk and implement youth development programs.
I am passionate about livestock farming, afro contemporary and cultural dance. I love drumming, camping and kayaking.
