Caribbean Community Youth Ambassadors

As we observe World Youth Skills Day, the CARICOM Youth Ambassador Corps celebrates the passion, creativity, and determination of young people across the Caribbean. 🔨🚧📲⌨️💻

Every day, young people throughout our region are using their talents to make a difference in technology, agriculture, entrepreneurship, the creative industries, and the skilled trades. Their ideas, innovation, and hard work are helping to shape a stronger and more connected Caribbean.

As the world continues to change, it is important that we invest in opportunities that equip young people with the skills they need to succeed and lead. By empowering our youth today, we are building a brighter future for generations to come.

On this World Youth Skills Day, let us continue to encourage, support, and create spaces where Caribbean youth can learn, grow, and thrive. Together, we can ensure that the next generation is prepared not only for the jobs of tomorrow, but also to lead the Caribbean into a more innovative and prosperous future!

Happy World Youth Skills Day, from the CARICOM Youth Ambassador Corps! 💙

As the Caribbean prepares to celebrate another CARICOM Day, it's worth remembering that the regional body didn't always operate from the impressive headquarters we know today.

In its formative years, the CARICOM Secretariat worked out of modest offices in Georgetown, first within the Colgrain House and later at the Bank of Guyana. Those early spaces reflected a young institution with limited resources but an unwavering commitment to regional integration.

As the Caribbean Community grew, so did the need for a permanent home that matched its expanding role and aspirations. That vision became reality in the early 2000s when the Government of Guyana, under the leadership of former President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, allocated several acres of land for the project. In 2005, the modern CARICOM Secretariat Headquarters was officially commissioned and handed over, becoming a landmark facility that today stands as a powerful symbol of Caribbean unity, cooperation, and the shared pursuit of progress.

CARICOM also now has a CSME Office in Barbados.

🚭✨ World No To***co Day ✨🚭

From every part of the Caribbean Community, the CARICOM Youth Ambassadors are standing strong on saying no to to***co:

❌ To***co is not a vibe; it is an addiction, bad lungs, and lifelong struggles.
❌ Ci******es, vapes, hookahs, and ni****ne pouches all target young people.
✅ We choose clean lungs, clear minds, confidence, and freedom.

This World No To***co Day, we’re unmasking the appeal and breathing life into the Community. 🌍💙

CHOOSE YOU. NOT TO***CO.
