The Ministry of Education, Department of Youth’s Mentorship programme is to be rolled out in March 2017 and Georgetown students will be focused on.
GINA said that the programme aims to address the social ills and challenges that the students face, according to Director of Youth, Melissa Carmichael.
Carmichael told GINA that the mentors will be deployed to most of the schools in Georgetown.
Carmichael said that the Youth Department “would have made connection with the Sport Commission and the Director of Culture to recruit persons who are specialists in sport using their database, as well as the persons who are skilled and qualified in the arts areas to come on board as mentors.”
