The Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sport has breathed new life into the bronze expedition leg of the President\u2019s Youth Award Guyana (PYARG) programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the weekend, 159 youths embarked on a challenging 17-mile trek from Yarrowkabra to KuruKuru Training Centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This expedition serves as a significant milestone in personal growth and camaraderie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, to complete the Bronze Leg of the programme, participants must undergo a six-month journey involving skills training, physical activities, community service, and group exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bronze Level marks the beginning of a three-part series, which includes silver and gold, each requiring more extensive expeditions and hours dedicated to service, skills development, and physical activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sports, Charles Ramson Junior, highlighted the evolution of the programme over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized the programme’s role in providing exposure to expeditions, life training skills, coaching, and team-building activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We relaunched it in 2022 and expanded in 2023. We have over 4000 young people engaged in this programme,” stated Minister Ramson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized a focused and innovative approach in 2024 to garner youth interest and participation, enabling their personal development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, there will be a heightened emphasis on community-based training initiatives, aimed at actively involving young individuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister Ramson stressed the importance of these initiatives in opening avenues for personal development and engaging talented young individuals productively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Duke of Edinburgh Award, originally initiated as the President Youth Award of the Republic of Guyana under the leadership of Minister Gail Texiera in 1998, remains a cornerstone of youth empowerment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It continues to provide invaluable opportunities for the growth and development of young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, the relaunch of the bronze expedition leg of the PYARG programme signifies a renewed commitment to youth development and empowerment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
