The heart of the program is the Global Outreach Belize Vo-Tech Training Center. It is located on 80 acres of cleared jungle approximately 4 miles from Belmopan on the bank of the Belize River. Operated as a boarding school, the campus has two boys dorms, classrooms, a library, kitchen/dining facilities, bath house, office building, mechanic shop, welding shop, woodworking shop, slaughter house, chicken house, dairy barn, six staff houses and living quarters for teams. The center provides room, board, clothing, personal hygiene items, health care and school materials for each of the boys enrolled.

The primary ministry of Global Outreach in Belize is a boys vocational training center. The vision for the center is to minister to and raise up young Belizean men to make an impact in their community and country for the gospel. Young men are selected each year from applications. They stay for three years participating in academic and vocational studies. Many of the graduates are walking in the ways of the Lord and making a difference in Belize.

The Belize Vo-Tech staff work as a team to insure the Belizean young men receive good academic instruction and quality vocational training. Each makes a contribution to the spiritual emphasis given during all aspects of the student's stay at the vo-tech center. The Center is open year-round, with breaks between each session, and offers training in welding, mechanics, woodworking, agriculture training, computer training and animal science.

Upon entry, each boy, at least 14 years of age, is tested for his academic ability and placed in an appropriate class. Once a suitable academic level is achieved, he is placed in a trade training area.

The Belize Vo-Tech Training Center facilities are capable of handling up to 50 boys; however, due to financial constraints enrollment in the 3 year program is currently limited to 30 boys. Our goal is to increase enrollment to include the additional 20 boys as soon as possible. Your participation in the Global Outreach Belize Sponsorship Program, will allow you the opportunity to be directly involved in changing the lives of many boys.
