YOUTHS from the Bachelor’s Adventure/Bare Root and Buxton Achievers Youth Groups participated in an intensive eight-week development training programme from February 8 to March 29, 2025 aimed at equipping them with essential life skills.
The initiative was facilitated by third-year Social Work students from the University of Guyana and covered crucial topics such as Financial Management, Drug Abuse Prevention, and Bullying Awareness. The programme also included engaging activities like a Sip and Paint event to encourage creative expression and personal development.

The training concluded with a closing ceremony on March 29 at the Vigilance Police Station, where participants were presented with certificates and gifts in recognition of their dedication and outstanding performance throughout the course. During the ceremony, the youths were encouraged to apply the knowledge gained to make a meaningful impact within their communities.

As part of their development journey, participants also attended the University of Guyana Career Day Fair, where they explored career opportunities and academic pathways, broadening their perspectives on future prospects.
The event was attended by Sgt 20350 Fraser, Sgt 20305 Tyndall, Cpl 23876 Peters, L/Cpl 22974 Tixey, and other ranks of the Vigilance Police Station, underscoring the strong collaboration between law enforcement and community-driven initiatives focused on youth empowerment.

This programme marks a significant step toward equipping young people with the tools and knowledge necessary to improve their lives and contribute positively to society. By fostering skills, awareness, and career readiness, the initiative reinforces the importance of education and mentorship in shaping future leaders.
