Philipsburg – The Democratic Party of St. Maarten re-instated its “Youth Wing” which caters primarily to teenagers. The membership of the DP Youth Wing boasts of students coming from several schools on the island. Leader of the DP, Council Lady Sarah Wescot-Williams, DP Vice President Stuart Johnson, and Chapter for Professional Young People (CPYP) President Marinka Gumbs were present at the induction ceremony. “The DP’s inclusion mantra is evident from the various committees which operate under the Party. The participation of young people and the forming of tomorrow’s leaders is an important part of this inclusion.” The DP Youth Wing will serve to inform young people about our local political and social climate as we move towards “Country St. Maarten” as well as to play an active role in our community. The DP Youth Wing has always been a force to reckon with and past members of the Youth Wing are prominent individuals in our society today. Youngsters are encouraged to join the membership of the Youth Wing. Interested persons can contact DP Vice President Stuart Johnson on 522-0509/5534788 or CPYP President Marinka Gumbs on 522-5459.
