Behind Realize is a team that is committed to individual's rights, empowerment and supporting positive change in society. With them they bring a range of experience that stretches from individual capacity building to large-scale strategic change.

 

As a Department we seek to establish a network of services providers for youth that have previously been offered in a scattered manner. This ought to have a significant impact in catering to the needs of youth with special needs, especially to youth who are at risk. An important component to this strategy is youth governance and participation. This component is oriented towards having youth issues become part of the national governmental agenda through youth participation, in such a way that through social mobilization there is a nationwide focus on youth and youth issues.

 

We applaud you guys Sam Hill and Richard Hill Co-founders of Realize Belize for taking such an initiative to work with young people and people with disabilities and surely we are happy to work with you."
