"The goal of the J-Force Organization is to change the world today and not tomorrow and to bring up leaders with moral and ethical transformational leadership skills."

Background

The Josiah Leadership Movement (J-Force) is a non-profit and multi-faceted leadership organization run entirely by young people. It was founded in the state of Georgia in the United States of America by Eric Kwapong – an enterprising young Ghanaian. J-FORCE has a strong, clear vision and a drive to transform the Ghanaian and African community for the better.

The goal of the J-Force Organization is to change the world today and not tomorrow and to bring up leaders with moral and ethical transformational leadership skills. 

Since the inception of J-FORCE in Ghana, the organization has made a strategic decision to split its activities into events that span six phases, culminating in a massive event dubbed “We Are the Change”.

In Phase 1, dubbed Project Feed Agbobloshie, the goal was to raise social awareness.Project Feed Agbobloshie, held on the 18th of December 2018, was a service summit where delegates from multiple high schools and universities packed 500 meals - many of which were served to homeless children. In Phase 2, J-FORCE toured high schools and universities to engage with young people on issues of leadership and to introduce the vision and plan of the Josiah Leadership Movement. Phase 3 was dubbed the Inspire Conference.

The Inspire Conference wasthemed “The Coming African Renaissance” and was hosted at the Accra International Conference Centre. The conference featured speakers from the spheres of faith, technology, music, entrepreneurship, citizenship, and culture. For many of the young students who attended this event, they were filled with a wealth of knowledge and inspired to work for positive social change. The 

“INFLUENCE Townhall” is next in our strategic line-up of events.

The next phase of J-FORCE’s six-phase-plan is a Town Hall Meeting which will feature political thinktank leaders as well prominent politicians from the two major political parties in Ghana: The New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The reasoning behind the holding of this event is to engage with the decision makers in this country about ways the youth of this great country can contribute their quota to the development of our country and give the youth a platform to engage with national leaders on issues of ethical leadership. The INFLUENCE Town Hall Meeting is also geared towards bolstering the involvement of youth in Ghanaian Politics.

The Town Hall will be hosted on the Ashesi University campus on 3rd May 2019 at 4:30 pm. The J-FORCE Organization is also proud to announce Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams as the keynote speaker for the Town Hall Meeting. Some of our panel speakers include Hon. Dr. Zanetor Rawlings and Hon. Samuel Atta Akyea.

The INFLUENCE Town Hall promises to be an amazing event, and J-FORCE envisions it to be only the first of many such events in Ghana to increase dialogue between citizens and national leaders.

All are cordially invited
