Youth Challenge Guyana sends Condolences to the family of Joshua Denny who was one of the men who had benefitted from Training.
Joshua was participated in a training in electrical installation. He was an attentive student and had an internship with Andrew's Electrical, and received very high praises for his performance.

Youth Challenge Guyana is encouraging young people to stay away from crime and find opportunities to build the skills to become successful.

Many people are asking why are we only focusing on young men. Here's a simple explanation.
There are many opportunities that exist and focus only on women. Young men are more likely to engage in criminal behavior, young men are completing school in far less numbers than young women, young men are most likely to become encarcerated if they lack guidance and support, and young men who are less financially secure are more likely to engage in gender based violence. Therefore, to prevent some of the issues we face with young men, it's best we improve their skills and behavior whichwillalso benefityoung women. Creating better role models will be a benefit to the whole society.

Because of the Spotlight Initiative by the United Nations and European Union. YCG is able to work with young men boys in Baramita to reduce substance abuse and violence against women and girls. This football, technical coaching session not only provided training for the game but also brought enlightenment about the impact of drugs and alcohol on the body and how to avoid it. They were taught ways to prevent violence in their community especially against women and girls. Thank you to coaches Devnon Winter and Eon Deviera, the leaders and people of Baramita, and the Spotlight Initiative.
