THE ORGANIZATION

In March 2003 a group of young people between the ages of 18 and 25, came together in an informal gathering at Maamobi in Accra to save their community from further deprivation and marginalization. The young persons were mostly from Maamobi and Nima, all in Accra, and they agreed to form AVERT Youth Foundation. Today, the Foundation operates in Maamobi, Nima, Kanda and Accra New Town all in the Ayawaso East Constituency/Sub-Metro of the Greater Accra Region.

AVERT Youth Foundation (Foundation) is a Community Based Non-Governmental, Non-Profit and Non-Sectarian youth-led, youth oriented and membership-base organization. The Foundation has a ten-member Executive Council headed by the President, and a general membership of sixty young persons. The Foundation has been meeting every Saturday of the week since its establishment in 2003.

In March 2006, exactly three years after its existence, the Foundation received its certificate of registration from the Registrar General as a company limited by guarantee. Earlier in 2004, the Foundation was registered as a youth organization at the National Youth Council.

AVERT Youth Foundation is wholly funded by the weekly and monthly financial contributions of its members. However, the Foundation collaborates with other organizations in organizing its programmes and activities.
