Youth Development & Education is a non-profit and
educational organization whose mission is to foster our
kids physically, mentally and emotionally through
sports, music and other job skills they might possess at
all time. Our program is aimed at meeting the different
needs of all kids by emphasizing discipline in a fun and
enjoyable learning atmosphere, by providing
opportunities to kids inside and outside the United
States.
In our one year of existence,
our operation organized on January 2005 a college
try-out for all the senior High School students in the
area which the head coach of Bryant & Stratton College
Nick Dimitrievski was in attendance; where he recruited
two talents whom had attended the try-out that day.
On January the 22nd 2005, in Collaboration with
Caribbean Americas Soccer Association (CASA), we hosted
the Jamaican National Team U-20, on their way to play
Honduras for their world cup qualifier.
We had a crowd of more than
5,000, and where some of the proceeds from the event
went toward the Tsunami Relief Effort. In addition
to our yearly events, Haiti Youth Development &
Education will also present the High School Sport
Festival, for High School Spring Break; which is a
combination of music and sport events, where every year
we will be able to send a kid to college on a
scholarship fund with the help of our sponsors.Haiti
Youth Development & Education will also organize a youth
soccer tournament every year: Little league world soccer
cup.
