September is Education and Literacy month!
This month's member in focus is our Youth Services Chair, Alecia Wells.
In her own words:
"I am Alecia M. Wells, an original Virgin Islander. I am retired from the Government of the Virgin Islands, Department of Education. I have taught middle and high schools, GED and ACE Programs on St. Thomas and St, John. I served as Deputy Superintendent for Secondary Education in the Stt/STJ District. I served as a Commissioner of the Public Services Commission. I was elected to serve on the Fifth Constitutional Convention. I am a member of the Bishop's Committee (Vestry) of St. Ursula's Church on St. John. I have been a member of The Rotary Club of St. John for more than fifteen years and am presently the Youth Services Chair. I previously served as President for two terms.
I support any and all activities and endeavors involving the youth and/or young people in the Virgin Islands in general and on St. John in particular. It is never too early to drill down the importance of young people owning a "piece of paradise", not selling land, and taking an active role in the governance of their island."
