The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF) has announced the commencement of two summer programmes that it says are “perfect for keeping children engaged and learning during the summer vacation”.
SVG Coast Guard Summer Programme
Starting on Monday, the SVG Coast Guard Summer Programme will kick off its first phase. The programme, tailored for teens aged 14 to 18, provides hands-on training in seamanship, navigation, maritime safety, and boat handling.
Participants will also delve into the history of the Coast Guard Service in SVG and develop essential life skills such as communication, problem-solving, and financial literacy, thanks to our sponsor, the Bank of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Police Band Summer Programme
Meanwhile, the Police Band Summer Programme will run from July 23 to Aug. 23 under the theme “Harnessing Young Minds During Summer Time.”
This programme is designed for children ages 9 to 15 and aims to provide a comprehensive and rewarding experience.
Participants will have an opportunity to learn to play a variety of musical instruments. Additionally, the programme will feature developmental activities and presentations from various departments within the RSVGPF and other institutions.
“This initiative promises to be an engaging and educational experience for all involved. Registration forms are available at the Police Band Room in Old Montrose,” a press release said.
“We encourage all interested persons to register and take advantage of these wonderful opportunities. For more information, please contact the Public Relations and Complaints Department of the RSVGPF or the SVG Coast Guard Service at telephone number (784) 457-4554,” the release said.
