Key indicators of community reach, student leadership development, and partnership engagement at this hub.
Student Leadership
An interprofessional student team coordinates community service, volunteer readiness, responsible operations, and continuous learning at this hub.
UG Hub Co-Director
In Greater Accra, people carry work, school, traffic, and family in the same day. The UG hub has to earn attention by being practical, respectful, and easy to approach.
— Divina Selase Afenyo
Follow-up Lead
A screening conversation is unfinished until someone knows how to continue care in real life. My role is to help residents and volunteers take that continuation seriously.
— Nana-Ekow Moses
Follow-up Lead
Physiotherapy made me attentive to recovery over time. At the UG hub, I use that same mindset to help residents move from a first encounter into ongoing support.
— Rachael Akusika Adu
Financial Officer
Pharmacy taught me precision. Hub finance taught me stewardship. Every cedi we manage carefully becomes more time, transport, and tools for community service.
— Kelvin Akoto Boateng
Community Liaison Officer
Accra is full of institutions and neighborhoods that do not automatically coordinate. My work is to keep those connections human, clear, and useful for the UG hub.
— Jil Owusu-Ansah
Volunteer Recruitment Lead
Bringing volunteers into the UG hub is not a numbers game. I look for people who can learn, collaborate, and carry responsibility in an urban service setting.
— Maxwell Abiam Danso
