A programme of the Youth Affairs Division to provide opportunities for young people, particularly young males in SVG is showing positive results.
The Band Apprentice Program is currently providing 11 youngsters with guidance and musical exposure, with the hope of being Officers of the Police Force after completion of the program.
The program which began earlier this year came about due to a Memorandum between the Ministries of National Mobilization and National Security and the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force Band on Monday, January 29, 2018.
The musical talent of the group, comprising ten males and one female, was showcased on September 27, 2018, at a Youth Symposium hosted by the Ministry of National Mobilization through the Youth Affairs Division.
That program took place at the Peace Memorial Hall in Kingstown, where they played the National Anthem and provided musical renditions during the opening ceremony.
