Southside Youth Success Project- SYSP

Southside Youth Success Project- SYSP The SYSP is a skills building initiative that provides training of five (5) months to young men from Southside Belize City.

The Southside Youth Success Project is a five (5) months training programme conducted at the Southside Drop In Centre in Belize City. This project was developed through the Ministry of Education, Youth & Sports in partnership with United Nation Development Programmes by CARSI Funding. The Center recruits young men from the socio-economically deprived Southside of Belize City (SSBC), the most violent area of the country where homicide rates “exploded” in 2002 and showed little sign of falling at the time of the project's development (Gayle, 2010: 289). At the heart of this violence are criminal gangs linked to the drug trade. These gangs are principally made up of young men between the ages of 15-29, who are the protagonists of homicidal violence; over 90% of all murders are committed by men against other men (Gayle, 2010: 54). Whilst there are multiple reasons for gang membership, one key factor is unemployment, which is rife amongst the youth population. Young men on Southside of Belize City are at the greatest risk of joining gangs and need positive employment opportunities to help prevent them from doing so. This is the central problem this project was used to address.
