February 2023
On February 16, 2023, Gary Maxwell and Shereen Jones, Directors from Giving Jamaica Chances Inc., met with four of our partnership schools – Belair High School, de Carteret College, Bishops High School and Bellefield High School to discuss 2023-2024 student grants.
Discussions were held with the principals and guidance counsellors on how Giving Jamaica Chances Inc., the high schools and the students can collaborate and support the mission of GJCI. Best practices were shared in the meetings and suggestions welcomed for the student grants.
The high schools made recommendations to the GJCI team and in addition GJCI outlined the timelines, the requirements and updated the schools on formal processes. The high schools all made a commitment to GJCI to submit the current student’s grant reports in a timely manner and to be ready to recommend students for grants for the 2023-2024 academic year.
It was a great opportunity to connect with the high schools. The Board of Directors at Giving Jamaica Chances Inc. is excited to work closely together with the high schools to continue in our mission to support students finish their high school education and to welcome a new cohort for the 2023-2024 upcoming academic school year.
