YCLA 2010 Recipient, Mr. Collin Anglin, gave an inspirational keynote speaker at the Mentoring Cayman Luncheon, which took place on Wednesday, 14 April at Westin Casuarina Resort & Spa.
Mr. Anglin spoke about the impact mentoring has made in his own life, teen issues in today’s society (diversity, bullying, gang violence, street drugs and crime), and communicated his views on the path to follow to be an authentic, successful individual.
The Mentoring Cayman Programme was launched in 2002 and is a youth development initiative jointly funded and supported by the Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce and the Ministry of Education, Training and Employment. The Programme is structured to assist high achieving and motivated high school students to become the next generation of business and community leaders.
Top set students in Year 10/11, are nominated by their schools and their names are submitted to the Chamber of Commerce for consideration. Students from the following schools contribute to the 2010 Programme: John Gray High School, Cayman Prep High School, Triple C School, and St. Ignatius Catholic High School.
For the current school year, 43 leading industry professionals have been paired with 43 high achieving students.
Participating mentors in the programme come from a variety of industries and backgrounds.
The Young Caymanian Leadership Awards is proud of the continued partnership with Mentoring Cayman and look forward to more events to team up together to make strongest impact on youth of Cayman.
