The Saint Lucia Boys Training Center (BTC) in Massade, Gros Islet, is a 60-year-old juvenile rehabilitation residential facility dedicated to transforming the lives of young men aged 10-18.
Transforming Lives Through Comprehensive Care
The BTC was established to provide care, intervention, and character development services within a safe and secure environment. Through education, vocational training, and character-building programs, BTC empowers residents to develop essential life skills.
Community Engagement: The Harding University Team's Commitment
Harding University, Botham Jean’s alma mater, has made it a tradition to visit the Boys’ Training Center on their summer mission trips to Saint Lucia. During these visits, they engage with the boys through soccer and other sports, providing not only physical activity but also valuable mentoring. This ongoing relationship underscores the importance of community involvement in the rehabilitation and development process, offering the boys at BTC additional encouragement and guidance on their journey to becoming leaders in their communities.
