Senior Administrative Manager for Youth Empowerment, Department of Social Cohesion, Culture, Youth and Sport, Fayonne Marshall, related that the programme had been initiated since 2015, but actual work did not commence until 2016. Since then, she said, the Ministry was focused on consultation with various regions with the aim of establishing new youth organisations, with its main focus being the grooming of persons for leadership.
Marshall further elaborated that those students who would have displayed exceptional leadership skills and potential in the first Module one programme were given the opportunity to visit the USA as Youth Ambassadors to the United Nations Conference in 2017. Youths who would have graduated would be given the opportunity to practice their leadership skills through managing another of the Ministry’s existing programmes, the Night School.
Module three of the Youth Leadership Programme is expected to commence soon, with a packed schedule of practical exercises for the youths.
