IRISE Next Gen is a youth-focused tech empowerment initiative based in Ghana, with a bold mission to raise a generation of creative, confident, and future-ready African youth. We believe the future belongs to those who can innovate, adapt, and lead—and we’re equipping young people across Ghana and Africa with the tools to do exactly that.
Through immersive digital workshops and training programs, we introduce young minds to cutting-edge technologies like 3D Animation, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Extended Reality (XR). Our hands-on approach blends learning with mentorship, helping students not only gain skills but also unlock purpose, passion, and potential.
Our goal? To empower over 5,000 young people across the continent by 2030—helping them rise beyond limitations, create opportunities, and become changemakers in their communities.
We’re not just teaching tech. We’re inspiring a movement of African youth who are bold, hopeful, and ready to shape the digital future.
