Abstract
The contributions of young people in national development can be manifested in the activities of national youth services. Within such organizations, the youth can be an essential part of the political, economic, social, and cultural advancement of their people. On this score, it can be asserted that every government should pay more attention to the needs and roles of young people in the world of today so that they can meet the challenges of their world of tomorrow. The Ghana National Service Scheme (GNSS) is an intervention program through which the government of Ghana is mobilizing its youth towards national development and reconstruction. As a public organization, the GNSS is currently under the Ministry of Education in Ghana. The Scheme, formally called "the Corps" was the brainchild of Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia, Prime Minister of the Second Republic of Ghana.
