On February 5, 2022, the Rotary Club of Barbados joined forces with the Juvenile Liaison Scheme of the Barbados Police Force (for the 2nd consecutive year) to deliver a revised program titled: Youth Elevation Scheme (YES)!
Under the chairmanship of one of our newest Rotarians - Davina Layne, a two part 10-week program schedule was designed to provide the young participants with an opportunity to learn about a new career and/or to engage in personal development activities. The presentations will focus on photography, barbering, fitness, as well as jewelry making and fashion design. The participants will also learn how to tie-dye, create motivational posters, and participate in kite building activities (just to name a few).
Our Youth Club - the Rotaract Club of Barbados will assist with delivering the program design and will also participate in the upcoming events.
The first phase of activities will pause on April 2nd with a two week break and recommence on April 23rd, to end on April 30th, 2022.
This project is a continuation of last year’s program led by Director Arlene titled ‘Project Elevate – Peace Through Service’.
