During the period of April 2020 to March 2021, YARD EMPIRE’s programs were affected by the COVID 19 Pandemic. Despite the challenges, YARD EMPIRE felt it was important to carry on the activities observing the established safety guidelines in order to give the targeted youth an outlet to express themselves during a difficult period.

Supporting COVID 19 Awareness

In keeping with the Government of Jamaica’s mandate to control and contain the spread of COVID several measures were announced. YARD Empire in support of these efforts produced video messages delivered by YARD EMPIRE YOUTH. This gave them the opportunity to use the skills they have learned in our programmes.
