The Josiah Leadership Movement, or J-FORCE, is a non profit organization with the aim of producing a movement of young people who pursue moral, ethical, and transformational leadership as a lifestyle. They have operated in the United States since the Spring of April 2015.
J-Force has decided to divide its activities into six different phases which will lead to a massive conference dubbed “We are the Change”. A brief overview of our past phases are as follows:
PHASE 1: A service summit dubbed Project Feed Agbogbloshie which featured Sangu Delle as the keynote speaker.
PHASE 2: Touring various secondary and tertiary institutions to host assemblies enlightening students about what J-Force is and what its goals as an organization are.
PHASE 3: A conference dubbed Inspire with the theme “The Coming African Renaissance” which featured speakers in the fields of faith, technology, music, social entrepreneurship, culture, and civic duty. Some speakers were Miss Universe Ghana 2018, the Co Founder of Afrochella, Cwesi Oteng, John Armah (Forbes Africa 40 Under 40), and more.
On the 27th of April on the Ashesi University campus, J-Force will be going live with PHASE 4, a Town Hall meeting – the first of its kind – which will bring together students of various high schools and universities with the aim starting conversations with the country’s current politicians and decision makers as well as discussing the issues concerning civic duty such as the reason why we vote and the importance of abolishing political apathy. We will be featuring prominent politicians from the two major parties in the Republic of Ghana, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to lead the general discussion after which we would break out into debriefing session to continue the discussions.
The event will take place on Ashesi University campus and will host various secondary schools as well as universities. It is founded by Eric Kwapong Jr. a social entrepreneur based in Chicago, Illinois. He has been running this organization since he was 17 years old.
