One of the objectives of the current National Youth Council is to see the restoration of the District Youth Councils (DYCs) island-wide.

One recently revitalized group is the Roseau Central-South District Youth Council.

While that group has been in existence for years, and undertook various activities, it unfortunately went dormant.

However, a vibrant, resourceful and determined group of young people have now pledged their time and efforts to the renewal of the District Youth Council. The executive team comprises:

Ms. Naomi Thomas – President
Ms. Kerahia Jno Baptiste – Vice President
Ms. Malissa Jno Lewis – Secretary
Ms. Jacelyn Popo – Treasurer
Ms. Sharena Jno Bapsite – Committee Member
Mr. Dane Hypolite – Committee Member
Ms. Cassandra Peter – Committee Member

The Roseau Central/ South District Youth Council covers the communities of Roseau, Newtown, Citronier, Castle Comfort, Wall House, Loubiere, Fond Baron, Eggleston, Giraudel, Kingshill, Pointe Michel, Soufriere, Scotts Head and Gallion.

The group has several constructive activities on their calendar.

First in line was a Promo Drive/ Walk Through from Roseau to Scotts Head on Saturday February 22, 2014 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. The goal of this Drive was to create awareness of the District Youth Council, and to encourage other young people to join the group.

A Health Walk from Pointe Michel to the Roseau Market in observance of World Water Day took place on Saturday 22 March 2014.

A Soccerama/ Sports Festival is also being planned.

Some members of the District Youth Council were featured on Youth Vibes, on D.B.S. Radio to further sensitize the general public of their reemergence, and to appeal to other young people to hop on board the train of positivity. Interested persons are asked to contact 317-3714 or 614- 0797
