NYS-ESG Session 11 – David Roberts

“We live in a world where the pressures and challenges facing young men are often daunting,” – Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs (MYSA), Shamfa Cudjoe Lewis.

Given that the two pilot schools of the NYSESG are male schools, the opportunity to focus on male empowerment naturally presented itself as a must-have module in the training program. The NYSESG Pilot Project was therefore grateful for a presentation and sharing by Mr. David Roberts, Permanent Secretary, MYSA, on some of the key issues and perspectives within the realm of male empowerment. David’s presentation focused on key themes surrounding empowering young men through values-based development, creating sustainable social impact in communities, fostering positive male role models, and aligning youth development with sustainable pathways.

Thank you, David, for your inspiring contribution to the young NYSESG participants.
