Minister sets out national youth policy
A bid to cut antisocial behaviour and boost the potential for Bermuda’s youth has been set out in the Senate.
Ernest Peets, Youth, Culture and sports minister, said the initiative would now be considered by a working group.
He said the Government was committed to a national youth policy.
He stated: “The policy outlines the goals and objectives we intend to pursue, alongside community, government and private partners to achieve an engaged and active youth whose voices are heard and will help mould the future of the country.
“Bermuda’s future belongs to our young people and we look forward to the Working Group’s progress and the fulfilment of the policy vision.”
The main goals for the policy include; minimising antisocial behaviour; keeping young people safe, boosting employment opportunities, and increasing sport and recreation outlets.
