Burchell Youth Development Foundation

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to Hop and Sting today to support us. Without people like you, we wouldn’t be able to change lives in Jamaica! We had so much fun getting to know so many new faces and hugging so many friends. Until next year Hop and Sting!🇯🇲🍻🤍

4 DAYS AWAY!
This scholar is VERY special to us. Orane was one of the first two scholars we started with in 2014. Throughout the years he has worked so hard to make it to where he is today. He is helping mold the future of Jamaica as a school counselor. If anyone understands what these students are going through it is Orane. His love for God and love for his country is endless. We are grateful to have had Orane in our program but even more grateful for what he is going to accomplish!

Come learn more about Orane at Hop and Stong Brewery on November 9th!

One week until our event at Hop and Sting Brewery in Grapevine!
So we would like you to meet ANOTHER amazing, and deserving scholar! This is Courtnie, excuse me DOCTOR Courtnie. This student has been such an inspiration to many other students as well as us as a team. Her hard work and dedication has paid off and she is going to be helping SO many people of her community in MoBay.
We are so proud of you Courtnie!
We hope to see you all out on Saturday, November 9th from 12-4 to learn more about our mission and hear wonderful success stories too!
GOD IS GOOD!

This is Abbi-Gayle! One of amazing scholars! She embodies what we looks for in our students. She is a hard working, dedicated person who so deeply cares for her community. Not only is she making a difference in Jamaica, but she makes a difference every Sunday in the church choir at the Burchell Church in Montego Bay! Come out and learn more about our scholars on Saturday, November 9th at Hop and Sting Brewery!
Here’s what she has to say about the importance of our foundation.

We’re excited! Are you?!
