Seniors

Citizens

Club

This programme is for our senior residents of the Lyndhurst-Greenwich community. They meet every Tuesday to socialize, praise and eat lunch together. They also help motivate and encourage each other to be healthy and get advice on health concerns.

This programme has existed for 16 years, and we have about 70 members enrolled!

Skills For Integrity

(Change Your Future) Project

Also known as "Change Your Future" (CYF), The programme looks to change the status of at-risk, unattached youth who are looking to change their lives from unemployed to employed/self-employed,  by equipping themselves with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and opportunities that will enable them to obtain and retain employment in a vocation of their choice.

The 51% Coalition

In partnership with 11 other organizations, the 51% Coalition (taking its name from the percentage of woman nationally as well as globally) seeks to secure quotas in the advancement of woman's participation in decision-making as well as to advocate for the successful implementation of the National Policy for Gender Equality and Vision 2030.

Strengthening a Culture of Integrity in Jamaica

(SCIJ)

This Project, funded by the National Integrity Action & USAID, is meant to promote integrity and reduce violence at a community level.
