Our Partners
Grace Jamaica Jerk Festival
The annual Jamaican Jerk Festivals in Miramar, Florida, and Queens, New York, have evolved as major events, attracting all ethnicities and key demographics. It is the mission of Jamaican Jerk Festival USA, Inc. to set standards and work with other organizations in promoting this uniquely Jamaican culinary art form, maintaining and protecting its authenticity globally. Partners for Youth is proud to be the non-profit sponsor of this annual celebration with a portion of proceeds being dedicated to the Anthony Baker Scholarship Fund and other PFY initiatives!​
The Jamaican Tenor
“People think Jamaica is all reggae and dancehall,” Higgins explains. “That is so far from the truth. Parts of our musical appetites were fed from all over the world.”​ With his annual concerts, Steve Higgins and Friends celebrate music, culture, and dance. With budding young artists and seasoned professionals, Steve Higgins support and dedication to bringing arts to the community transcends generations. Partners for Youth is proud to collaborate with Steve Higgins and part of proceeds from Annual Concerts go to specific outreach partnership with the SOS Children's Village.
