Empowering Haitian Youth Through Debate, Mentorship, and Human Rights Education
The Joint Leadership Youth Initiative (JOLYI) is a collaborative effort among FOKAL’s Youth Initiative Program, Basketball to Uplift the Youth (BAL), and the National Human Rights Organization, providing educational, civic, and leadership opportunities for young people. Operating in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, Cité-Soleil, Croix-des-Bouquets, and Cap-Haïtien, the initiative focuses on youth in violent neighborhoods, schools, and juvenile detention centers.
