Comprehensive Training and Development Programs For Positive
Youth Development and Entrepreneurship
"Character, Social, Prevention, Business and Life
Skills Programs for Youth"
The mission of the PRIYDE is to focus solely on youth development
in financial literacy, certain apprentice skills, entrepreneurship, and
advocacy necessary for success in the work place and the market place.
Specifically designed and targeted for youth navigating
through an adult world. While it may take a village to raise a child...let us
not forget that the child is also a contributing member of the village.
