The Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture officially launched Youth Month on the island of Grand Bahama, under the theme “Homecoming: Let’s Make More Memories.”
The month-long celebration is dedicated to engaging the island’s youth through a variety of exciting activities designed to foster empowerment, creativity, and community involvement.
Ginger Moxey, Minister of Grand Bahama, highlighted various initiatives aimed at integrating young Grand Bahamians into the economy, including programmes like Maritime 101, a collaboration with ELNET Maritime Agency, in which 60 students from 17 high schools have graduated, on Grand Bahama.
Festivities began with the “Miracle in Music Youth Explosion,” and a church service at the New Life Worship Centre.
The month will also include the Youth Recognition Awards on October 12 at Calvary Temple Assembly of God, a Youth Speech Competition on October 16, where prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, and a grand Youth March & Rally on October 20 at Independence Park, concluding with a Junkanoo Rush.
Additionally, while the month will wrap up with a Career Fair at Grand Lucayan on October 31, ‘Youth in Parliament’ will be held in Nassau on November 4.
