Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders through Simulated Governance Experiences.
The Youth Empowerment Consortium (YEC) runs the YEC Governance Program — a transformative youth leadership and governance development initiative designed to train, engage, and inspire young people to understand and actively participate in politics and governance processes globally.
Through practical simulations that mirror the governance structure of Ghana for the current program, the program helps youth experience the workings of government first hand.
From Parliamentary debates to cabinet decision making, diplomacy, and judicial processes.
It’s not just about politics — it’s about policy, leadership, integrity, and nation building.
4. Youth Judicial Council (YJC)
“Justice, fairness, and leadership; building a culture of accountability.”
What It Is
The Youth Judicial Council simulates Ghana’s Judiciary system. Participants play roles such as Judges, Lawyers, or Legal Advisors; hearing youth-related cases, interpreting laws, and practicing judicial ethics.
How It Operates
Through courtroom simulations, legal drafting sessions, and mock hearings, participants explore the principles of justice, equity, and the rule of law. They deliberate on issues emerging from the Youth Parliament and Cabinet simulations to ensure accountability within the system.
Benefits

The Experience
Courtroom simulations, case arguments, and constitutional interpretation sessions — youth learn to uphold justice the right way.
The YEC Governance Experience

This ecosystem doesn’t just teach governance — it builds it from within.
