The MultiCare Youth Foundation
The MultiCare Youth Foundation (MYF) is a registered Jamaican charitable organisation that provides critical social interventions to empower young people between the ages of 15 and 29 years who are from disadvantaged and often volatile communities across the island. In 2020, in keeping with current national priorities, the Foundation made a strategic shift to Crime & Violence Prevention, focusing on youth who are deemed at medium and high risk of involvement in crime and violence.

Mario Thompson
“I think everybody in an inner city needs a Programme like the EU BRIDGE Project. It is a very, very good Programme. I appreciated the Life Skills and Employability component especially, because that was where we got to interact with each other, you know, as residents. I actually got to talk with the other participants in a safe way, not like talking about girls, guns and other things that people talk about normally. Also important, we got to discuss the working world.”
