Lyford Cay Foundations Program Participants Pay Courtesy Call on Education Minister
Executive Director of Lyford Cay Foundations, Dr. Nicola Virgill-Rolle, and 50 participants of the Family Island Leadership Program paid a courtesy call on Education Minister Glenys Hanna Martin on Monday, July 21, 2025.
The one-week program is intended to build leadership skills and prepare soon-to-be eleventh graders for college and various careers through a number of activities and seminars.
Students from various Family Islands were present, including Grand Bahama, Abaco, Cat Island, San Salvador, Andros, Eleuthera, and Long Island.
Minister Hanna Martin commended Dr. Rolle on her belief in equity, which has led to Lyford Cay Foundations hosting public school students from the Family Islands for the second year of its Family Island Leadership Program. She also encouraged the students gathered to be critical thinkers, innovators, and 'dynamic participants in the future of The Bahamas.'
