About United Cadres Front (UCF)

The United Cadres Front (UCF) is a dynamic, social-democratic movement committed to the political, economic, and social empowerment of Ghanaians—especially the youth. Founded on the enduring ideals of Pan-Africanism, patriotism, freedom, and accountability, we are the legacy bearers of transformative leadership rooted in the revolutionary spirit of Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings.

Through our youth wing, the Young Cadres, we deliver entrepreneurship training, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) programs, and agricultural skill development to young people across Ghana’s districts and regions. We believe in equipping the next generation not just with knowledge, but with the tools to lead change, build livelihoods, and defend justice in their communities.
