Youth Development

The Mid South Delta Initiative's vision for the Delta involves creating a positive future for the children of the region. To this end, some MSDI partners are focusing their efforts on youth development. MSDI youth-oriented programs include a wide variety of activities ranging from financial literacy and entrepreneurial training to documentary film making.

Since 1998, 6215 young people have been involved in or affected by MSDI programs.
