Santo Domingo. – The Ministry of Youth, in coordination with the Santo Domingo Norte City Hall, carried out the delivery of courts in different sectors of the municipality, as part of Una Cancha Pa’ Mi Barrio, within the framework of Juventud con B de Barrio; an initiative aimed at promoting healthy recreation and the integral development of youth.
The activity took place at the City Hall of Santo Domingo Norte and was led by the Minister of Youth, Carlos Valdez, along with the mayor Betty Gerónimo, local authorities, community members, and young beneficiaries.
During his intervention, Minister Carlos Valdez highlighted that this program seeks to bring real opportunities to young people in their communities, through the creation of adequate spaces for sports practice and coexistence. “These courts are a tool to promote talent, foster values, and continue building safer environments for our youth“, he expressed.
For her part, Mayor Betty Gerónimo highlighted the role of the City Hall in the process, explaining that the survey carried out by the city council made it possible to accurately identify the sectors with the greatest need for sports spaces, thus facilitating a more effective intervention. She indicated that this type of action directly contributes to the well-being of the communities and the strengthening of the social fabric in the municipality.
The delivery of these courts was made possible thanks to the joint work between the Ministry of Youth and the Mayor’s Office of Santo Domingo Norte, where the territorial survey carried out by the local government served as the basis for the implementation of the program.
“A Court For My Neighborhood” is part of the strategic actions of the Ministry of Youth to expand access to sports and generate development opportunities for young people throughout the country.
