These programs are District-Managed, District-Endorsed, or District-Supported. Essentially, the objective is to provide innovative and practical opportunities to assist and motivate children, young people, and associated stakeholders in our communities to acquire learning and life skills. The District Youth Committee is open to recommendations and feedback.
