These leaders dedicate weekends, evenings & personal time, freely given, to keep young people safe and help them grow. Rain or shine.

Behind every Award is a volunteer. Thank you for being our backbone.

To close the conference in Saint Lucia, the Bermuda contingent, Karen Simmons and Jevon Talbot, joined Jamie Lock and Maria Hudson from International Award Foundation for some holiday downtime and exploring.

They called it their CASC Adventurous Journey in an Urban Area: researching, observing, recording and learning the history of Castries, navigating with the map and Google Maps. Along the way they found statues of Saint Lucia's first Prime Minister, Sir John Compton, and Nobel laureate Derek Walcott. They also found Simón Bolívar and Jean Baptiste Bideau, the Saint Lucian sea captain who saved Bolívar's life. They visited the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and Castries Central Market, and a cemetery between the beach and the airport.

The terrain had it all: flat city streets, declines, and a winding climb to the coast so we could stay off the highway, ending on the beach front. A fitting way to close out a successful week of learning and collaboration.

Ready to lead. Ready to inspire.

This week at the Americas Regional Training Conference in Saint Lucia, our Programme Director Karen Simmons is helping to deliver Level Two training to leaders from across the Caribbean region, equipping them with the tools and knowledge to deliver the Award with excellence.

Among the participants is our very own, Jevon Talbot, a Gold Awardee and Senior Award Leader who is investing in his own growth to better support peers and participants. By strengthening our Award Leaders, we ensure quality delivery and create pathways for young people to discover their greatest potential and become leaders themselves. This is how we reach more young people and strengthen the Award everywhere. Thank you Jevon Talbot for all you to for the Award and young people in Bermuda!
