Basseterre, St. Kitts, September 27, 2018 (SKNIS): At-risk adolescent males at the Basseterre High School (BHS) will now have a better chance of a brighter future through the launching of the Department of Gender Affairs Boys Mentorship Programme, which will provide the boys with life skill training, counseling, technical skills, job attachments and scholarships.
At the Launching Ceremony held today, September 27, at the Department of Agriculture, Chair and Coordinator for the Boys Mentorship Programme, Mr. Dion Browne, said that the programme which was initially launched in July 2016 as a pilot project will now continue to help transform the lives of young men throughout the Federation and take them on a journey of self-discovery.
“The boy’s mentorship programme was launched in July 2016 at the Charles E. Mills Secondary School and since then we have seen some successes. We have evaluated the programme and made some adjustments and now we are ready to expand,” he added.
