The Social Development Commission (SDC) is working to break the stigma in Gregory Park, in Portmore, St. Catherine, by empowering young people in the community through its Youth Entrepreneurship Skills Symposium (YESS).
The second iteration of the initiative was held on Friday (August 29) at the Worldwide Church of God in Christian Gardens, Portmore, in the parish.
