Youth Diversion

Declare Righteousness Programme (DRP) has over 20 years experience of working in the prison system and 14 years with our partners Off  The Street Ministries from San Diego and Cayman Outreach Association(COA). Through these partnerships and our work in Jamaica, the USA, and the Cayman Islands we have seen firsthand, that the decisions and choices that some of today’s youth are making are leading them down the path of destruction!

Over the years through our training, experience, and working with our partners San Diego Training Center and Off the Street Ministries (OTS), who have designed Youth Diversion Programmes and Curfew Sweep to help break down the negative thought patterns and behaviors of our youths, through some of America’s hardest rehabilitated criminals from the prison system and off the street, by encouraging them(youth) to live productive lives through their testimonies.

DRP has also worked in the Cayman Islands with Cayman Outreach Association (COA) developing an At-Risk Youth Programme, this allowed us the opportunity to partner with the Ministry of Education Department, Cayman Islands to create and manage the Extended After School Programme from February 2012 to June 2015, which saw the program grow from 80 to 1600 students in the 1st year.
