The Department of Youth Affairs is proud to present the continuation of its “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child” Webinar Series from May 12th – 26th, 2021. This webinar is a four (4) part series, designed to highlight the persons and the roles dedicated to the development of Youth. Each portion will be dissected to help the Youth and the Community alike gain a better understanding of who and what is working in their best interest and to ensure the proper decision and avenues are in place for their access, use, future and success.
This series will also allow for the panelists (village) to publicize/expose the measures and programmes that may be in place but are not well known. Measures that may assist Youth and Families in the different challenges they may be facing. It will allow Panelists to discuss the importance of their roles in Youth Development and also allow room to discuss common issues that they face with Youth and further initiatives that are being developed to aid in the development of Youth.
It is imperative that all roles in Youth Development take up its rightful place and ensure their part is being done. The Youth are the future, and if we fail to prepare them and equip them with the necessary advice and tools for success, then the livelihood of the people and the country is at stake. These webinars will allow them to gain the information needed to guide them on their journey.
