The Jamestown Community Theatre Centre has been established by Theatre for a Change to help young people develop strategies that will enable them to change their behaviour around issues that put them at the risk of HIV infection and Human Rights abuses. Currently Theatre for a Change is running a project sponsored by the Canada Fund for Local Initives called Stepping into Action, where young people have been selected from the community to undergo training in Human Rights. The Training officers for the project are Linda Nyanor and Samuel Z. Atiemo. There is a four member management team and sixteen facilitators as well as 140 participants. The voices here are those of some of the management team and the participants.

Theatre for a Change had the opportunity to partner with the UNHCR to deliver training to disabled Liberia Refugee settlers in Ghana. The training was to equip the refugees with the requisite skills to enable them advocate for their rights. Theatre for a Change therefore trained a section of the refugees to form a drama troupe dubbed the Harmony Drama Troupe. There has been tremendous success with the drama troupe as their performances are reaching every corner of the refugee settlement community. Below are the voices of the participants and their volunteers as well as their president.
