The opportunity came through the vision of the Member of Parliament (MP) for St Catherine Central, Olivia ‘Babsy’ Grange, who sees youth development as a vehicle to transform lives in the inner-city communities in her constituency, by implementing a programme of empowerment through skills training and educational advancement.
