The civic group “Boys In Ties” is hosting its second annual summer program, geared towards helping mold boys on Nevis into upstanding, respectful young men and future leaders.

Director and Founder – Ms. Infatari Hanley explained on July 17th that the three-week program aims to reach boys 11 to 19 years old and expose them to various disciplines such as tie training, dining etiquette, budgeting, health, academics, grooming, work ethics, and community affairs.

The objective of the “Boys In Ties” program is to be a catalyst for change in society by demonstrating to the young boys that adopting good morals, ethics and behavior and respecting themselves and others is the better path to choose.

The first week of the program will see a number of activities and seminars that will give professionals from across a variety of career fields an opportunity to engage with the boys. Fifteen facilitators will present on topics including banking, human resource, entrepreneurship, health, and crime prevention.

Participants will in turn at workplaces during the second and third weeks, to reflect their prospective career choice. The boys will be given a stipend.
