St. Margaret’s Human Resource Centre was originally founded to cater to youth within the Olympic Gardens and Waterhouse communities and its environs.

This centre provides remedial education for students and also offers Heart Trust NTA Level 2 Certification courses in Woodwork and Electrical Installation. The students in the remedial programmes are prepared for the Grade Nine Achievement Test (GNAT) with hopes of re-integration to the regular school system.
This Centre also operates an outreach feeding programme, as well as a clinic that caters to the school population, the elderly and the wider community. It also operates a community library, fully sponsored by Jamaica Self Help Canada.
