The cohort

Each cohort trains together for two years. At graduation, every member receives an official certificate. Graduation is not the end: alumni are always welcome to keep supporting the club, from mentoring new members to joining outreach in their region.

Regional heads

Members are organised by region. Each of Ghana’s 16 regions has a regional head who presides over members there, helps plan outreach in local schools, markets and communities, and works with the executives to check new applications.
