While the majority of the organi‐ zations listed are registered at the Office of the Lieutenant Governor with non‐profit 501(c)3 legal status, this is not a requirement to be listed in the directory. This project was initiated with the intention of producing a comprehensive directory of organizations that serve the community. This is the fifth edition since the direc‐ tory was originally published in 2004. We continue to update the directory based on changes in the community and information provided by the organizations that have sent us their information. We invite all community organizations not listed to send us your information today. Please fill out the form on page 9 of this directory and fax it to 340‐774‐3852 or e‐mail to [email protected]. For your convenience, there is a list of child care and preschool centers on pages 100 to 102, private and parochial schools in the Virgin Islands on page 104 and an abbreviated list of Virgin Islands government services that primarily serve children, youth and families on pages 106 to 108. For a complete listing of government agen‐ cies, please consult the green pages of the U.S.V.I. telephone directory. Additional copies of this directory are available through the office of the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands, or visit www.cfvi.net to download the most current version. All area codes in this directory are 340, unless otherwise noted.

With professional guidance from CFVI, the initiative was launched. This multi‐ phase project began with conducting a needs assessment. A survey was designed to gather basic contact information, leadership profiles, financial data, organizational structure, purpose and developmental needs of non‐profit organizations. Agency leaders were then invited to attend focus groups to engage in a dialogue about both their organizational and professional needs. Non‐profit agency leaders expressed a real need for a directory of non‐profit organizations to be made avail‐ able to the profession for referrals and networking, and to the public to increase awareness of services available. This directory is a product of the initiative. As a service to donors, CFVI is available to provide comprehensive organizational profiles of community non‐profits to effectively guide philanthropic giving. CFVI is committed to connecting donors with identified community needs. In addition to their work with the non‐profit community, Bart Kavanaugh and Betty Saks are committed to improving the early childhood environment in the U.S. Virgin Islands, particularly as it impacts low wage‐earning families. With assistance from Bart, Betty and other donors, CFVI created a program, The Family Connection, with the mission of strengthening the community child care and early education infra‐ structure in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Now in its seventh year, The Family Connection provides free access to books, toys and resources for child care resources and professional development as well as training programs, networking and resource tools for the territory’s hard‐working child care providers and early education professionals – as well as to the parents of young children. For more information about this directory or The Family Connection, please contact the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands. 7 About CFVI CFVI’s Mission The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) was created to serve both donors and non‐profit organizations of the Virgin Islands that want to ensure the highest quality of life for both present and future generations. Its primary goal is to build a growing collection of permanent funds, the income from which will be used to enhance the educational, physical, social, cultural and environmental well‐being of the islands’ people. The Foundation, established in 1990, is governed by a board of directors com‐ posed of community leaders interested in the welfare of the Virgin Islands and is managed by a professional staff. Perhaps you have an area of special interest or concern? Your gift to CFVI can help meet today’s needs. And those donors choosing to create a permanently ‐invested fund will empower their gift to grow and meet tomorrow’s needs too, thereby becoming a legacy for the territory’s future. How to Establish a Fund at CFVI A named fund may be established by a family, individual or corporation with a gift of $10,000 given once or over five years. The process and the paperwork are straight forward, and donors report that the results are tremendously satisfying. The donor decides the fund’s grant‐making purpose and if the fund principal may be distributed. CFVI works to make your philanthropy worry‐ free. CFVI takes care of grant paperwork, auditing, accounting and reporting. Most importantly, you will have joined hundreds of others who have ensured that their giving will benefit our community in perpetuity. The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands is a 501 ( c) 3 public charity. Contributions are deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. 8 Please let us know you are out there!

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    HISTORY OF PROTECTED AREA INITIATIVES in the u.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS By Edward L. Towle, Ph.D. <etow/[email protected]> island resources FOUNDATION 6292 Estate Nazareth # 100 St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands 00802 Reissued June 2003 * [IRF Occasional Papers Series #58] * Portions of this document first appeared as Appendix B ("Background of Protected Areas in the USVI") in Rapid Socioeconomic Evaluation of the Proposed Marine Conservation District, St. John, United States Virgin Islands, a report prepared by Impact Assessment, Inc. for the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (February 1997), and in Resource Description Report, a report prepared by Island Resources Foundation and commissioned by the University of the Virgin Islands for the V.I. Department of Planning and Natural Resources' Virgin Islands Marine Park Project, funded by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, Award No. NA07020513 (August 2002). History of Protected Area Initiatives in the u.s. Virgin Islands Historical Background For the U.S. Virgin Islands, the second half of the twentieth century was witness to a steady growth of mostly failed but increasingly more focused, occasionally collaborative and certainly professional landscape, seascape and ecosystem conservation planning and management efforts. These sprang up principally in response to the socio-economic development process that affects all small islands and their natural resource systems. As in the rest of the insular Caribbean over the same period, protected area initiatives in the U.s. Virgin Islands were triggered more by escalating, public-spirited conservation philanthropy than from any visible change in local public policy or commitment of public funds for protecting the /I commons "-whether wet or dry, natural or physical, terrestrial or marine.
