Ms. Modest Academy launches Girls Mentorship Nov 8

The Ms. Modest Academy Mentorship Program is back by popular demand after two successful programs that saw an overwhelming response from young women from both the French and Dutch Sides of the island.

The third in a series of 4 week training sessions targeting teenage girls to unlock their leadership potential and focus on character development is set to take place on Saturday November 8 from 2:00 pm at the Lord’s Chamber Ministries Conference Room, Marigot.

Ms. Modest Academy falls under the umbrella organization The Youth Development Centre (YDC) Foundation and is located 127 Rue de Hollande Saint James, Marigot. It caters to girls from age 10 to 21 years old.

According to YDC founder Emalie Questel, herself and co-founder Bernesha Albert-Tavanier took up a herculean task to meet the changing and challenging needs of young women in the society.

“American writer and activist Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that to help the young soul one need’s to “add energy, inspire hope and blow the coals into a useful flame….by firm action, that is not easy, that is the work of divine men.”

We have a burden to see young women mazimise their full potential. There are just too many ideas out there and not enough effort placed into turning those ideas into action. This is why we have embraced the mandate,” Questel stated.

“This is a dynamic, inspirational and life changing program,” Albert-Tavanier boasted. She added that a similar pilot project had changed the direction of her life a few years ago and has now made her a valuable and influential participant of this generation.

“In the past church youth groups responded, schools sent their students, youth foundations registered in our early bird promotion and parents signed up their children. We do not expect it to be any different this time around,” Albert-Tavanier explained.

Some of the topics to be covered in the Mentorship Program include understanding one’s Purpose, love, dating, relationships and sex, the definition of a leader, health, nutrition and hygiene, modesty and self esteem.

Participants will also be taught goal setting, mission statement drafting and complete organic assignments and projects before a final exam and graduation ceremony.

This is the program that “Blossoms Radiant Flowers”, the program that restores morals and values to our society, the program that develops world changers. An invitation is therefore extended to the general public to ensure that as many young women as possible learn from this opportunity.

A participation fee of € / $45.00, inclusive of all training aids, refreshments and graduation materials is being charged. For registration or additional information, persons are asked to call Tel: +1590 690. 26.93.66 / + 1721 580 67 96 or E-mail: YDC.SXM@GMAIL.COM
