Azaleta Ishmael-Newry Earns Adler 2024 Scholarship to Enhance Coaching Skills, Boosting PACT's Efforts with Vulnerable Youth in The Bahamas

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, August 13, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The PACT Urban Peace Program (Peace, Actualization, Community, and Transformation), a grassroots charity based in Toronto, is delighted to announce that Azaleta Ishmael-Newry has been awarded Adler's 2024 Coach Training Scholarship.

PACT nominated Azaleta for her outstanding contributions in introducing the award-winning LifePlan Coaching (LPC) program in Nassau, Bahamas. The Bahamas Ministry of Social Services, Information and Broadcasting recognizes this program, which is also supported by the Rotary Clubs of The Bahamas Road to Peace initiative. Azaleta has been working with PACT since 2022, demonstrating exceptional leadership on the ground. Her extensive experience as a PR and marketing professional, along with her connections with the Bahamian government, justice system, business sector, and Rotary communities, has been instrumental in establishing the LPC program in this new jurisdiction. This initiative has enabled PACT to provide remote coaching to high-risk youth in detention at the Willie Mae Pratt and Simpson Penn Co-Education Unit on the island of New Providence.

Azaleta's commitment and effectiveness make her an exemplary candidate for this training opportunity. Her background, motivation, and significant community service work as a dedicated Rotarian of 29 years underscore her suitability for this Adler scholarship. In The Bahamas, where there is a significant shortage of professionally trained coaches and support services, certifying Azaleta as a coach will significantly enhance the growth and sustainability of PACT’s LPC program and the specialized support we provide to the youth we serve in The Bahamas.
