About Us

Our Mission

To help transform Trench Town and surrounding communities into peaceful, productive, law- abiding and God-fearing ones through community development, education and training,
promotion of the Gospel, healthy lifestyles, positive parenting and economic activity, model reproducible across Jamaica.

Our Vision

By 2030, Joy Town will be a God-fearing, prosperous, peaceful and desirable residential and business community—a model of restoration, positive parenting, and unified community problem-solving; free of illegal weapons; with excellent community–police relations; and a community where creativity and opportunity are unlocked for all, especially youth—while women, the elderly, and children are cherished and protected.
