Gov’t launches youth centre to engage young people territory-wide

The Department of Youth Affairs & Sports is launching a youth centre on April 9.

This facility — which is branded the Be YOUth Centre — is being described as a space where young persons across the Virgin Islands can share, grow, and create in an innovative environment.

And according to the government, the centre will offer development programmes including résumé-writing, team building, interviewing skills, time management, graphic design, production, trade skill workshops, and other fields related to young people.

Director of Youth Affairs and Sports, Brenda Lettsome-Tye said: “The Be YOUth Centre will be a key resource for our youth and will be the first of a series of youth centres that we hope to open throughout the entire Virgin Islands including our sister islands.”

The department did not specify where the first location will be.
