Power Up!!

Power Up!! is a dynamic Diocesan Pastoral Care program designed in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and Wellness – Bahamas National Drug Council to equip young people (5th - 7th grade) with the social-emotional skills and practical tools they need to thrive. Through engaging group sessions and real-world guidance, we help participants build confidence, resilience, and advocacy skills that will serve them throughout their lives. Working with the Diocesan Youth Office, the program also seeks to strengthen students’ spiritual life.
