My Brother's Workshop STX

Non-Profit supporting At-Risk Youths in the V.I. My Brother’s Workshop provides paid training and mentoring to “high-risk and at-risk” youth, ages 16-24.
(1)

The program targets youth who have dropped out of school, are marginally literate and live in poverty. Most of the youth trained have been in a gang or have a juvenile criminal record. MBW trains these youth in basic building skills like carpentry, plumbing and masonry. This paid training provides a positive alternative to the vicious cycle of gangs, crimes, drugs and violence.

MBW Employee Spotlight 💫

Meet Grace Reid — MBW’s social worker, case manager, counselor, office administrator, mentor, and all-around powerhouse who steps in wherever she’s needed. 💪💛

Ms. Reid, the eldest of seven children, has always been a natural caretaker. A proud graduate of Ivanna Eudora Kean High School in St. Thomas, she went on to earn her degree in Criminal Justice from Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, Florida. Though she once considered becoming an attorney, her path changed after working at a summer camp in the 1980s — an experience that ignited her lifelong passion for helping young people.

Since then, Ms. Reid has dedicated her life to guiding, supporting, and mentoring youth as a social worker, case manager, counselor, and mentor. As a mother of four daughters, she finds no greater joy than helping shape individuals into the best versions of themselves.

Ms. Reid says she’s been blessed to work alongside others at MBW who share her passion for helping youth find hope, healing, and purpose. 🌿
