The Division of Juvenile Justice within the Ministry of Social & Community Development, Housing & Gender Affairs, today kicked off its one (1) week summer youth development initiative.
The activity titled Real Engagement for Safer, Empowered Teens (RESET), is in direct response to the concerning rise in criminogenic activities amongst juvenile offenders within the court system.
Guided by this compelling statistical evidence, the Probation Officers of the Division has identified the urgent need to intervene in the cycle of youth violence and recidivism.
Consequentially, the RESET program was developed as a focused
intervention targeting at-risk youth, with an emphasis on mentorship, emotional regulation, and empowerment.
The program which concludes Friday August 22, 2025, aims to serve as a proactive violence prevention initiative, offering young people a structured and supportive environment for personal growth and behavioral transformation.
