Orco Bank proudly partnered with JCI Young United Bonaire (JCI YUB) for the launch of the Fresh Start – Community Empowerment Series, a six-month youth initiative empowering children and teens across Bonaire. The program kicked off on October 26th, 2025, at Social Cafe in Kralendijk and will continue through February 2026. Through events in all six neighborhoods, Fresh Start provides free haircuts, backpacks with supplies, fun activities, and leadership development opportunities. In partnership with the Bonaire Library, it also promotes literacy and lifelong learning.

“At Orco Bank, we believe that empowering our youth means empowering our community,” said Michelle Gumbs in representation of the bank. “We’re proud to support initiatives like Fresh Start that inspire confidence, learning, and opportunity.”

The collaboration reflects Orco Bank’s ongoing commitment to community development and youth empowerment throughout the Dutch Caribbean. “By investing in young people, we invest in a stronger, more confident Bonaire,” added Marjely Doran of Orco Bank Bonaire. “We’re honored to partner with JCI YUB in helping create positive change.”
