A resident council member and commissioner, Simba Abiff believes in the power of resident services, especially vocational services, to help young people find a way forward.  “Young people need to see there is a path for them to become integrated members of society,” says Abiff, a Virgin Islands police officer living at Oswald Harris Court. “I didn’t pay attention in school and left in 11th. grade. With my mother pushing me, I got my GED and went to college.”
