SEND A YOUNG CHRISTIAN TO TRADE SCHOOL

Can you imagine if teenagers in Haiti had real hope for a future?
In 2021, we asked Father Roosevelt how best to help St. Jude in a way that would reap real and ongoing benefits.
His response: “Do not let the dreams of the young people die. Otherwise, their lights slowly dim, until they are extinguished, and they too end up in food lines.” 
So we are sending the most promising teens and young adults from this poor community to trade school to study from among these needed areas: agriculture, clothing production, computer science, engineering, education, and nursing. 
They call themselves: “Young Christians in Action for St. Jude and for the World.”
By prayer and by funding, we ask that you consider helping one of these young people. We see in them the promise of a faith filled, flourishing future Haiti.


It’s all about education and evangelization.
Twelve promising students from poverty-stricken local homes are selected by Father to study a trade of their choice. The annual tuition for each student is $500, and programs are 2-5 years long.
The goals: these students will not end up in the food line.  Instead, they will help lift their families and communities from poverty and they will walk toward the future in dignity with Christ.

Meet our “Young Christians in Action for St. Jude and for the World!”
Below are 12 teens and young adults chosen by Father Roosevelt from among local families by virtue of their talent and their honorable character. Their goal: to be lights in the darkness of their communities.
They are young, motivated, and full of hope. When they complete these trade school programs and become wage earners for their families, they will illuminate their homes and their community.  
Each student is committed to:

· Choosing a trade aligned with his or her genuine interests and aptitudes
· Providing exam and progress reports
· Attending Faith-Formation-Saturdays in fellowship with one another
· Helping to build up his or her community


Sponsorship Options

As a sponsor, you will receive a photo of your student, chosen trade of study, and personal vision statement, and we will apprise you of your student’s yearly progress.
Trade School Programs cost $500 per year, and last 2-5 years depending on the career choice.
When we dreamed out-loud of finding a way to promote a real future for St. Jude families,
Father Roosevelt reminded us, “It’s all about education and evangelization. Pray, and remember our greatest asset, our youth!”
