Youth Business Caribbean (YBC) is a dynamic network of independent organizations and programmes dedicated to supporting young people who aspire to build their entrepreneurial skills and launch sustainable businesses across the Caribbean. As defined in our Charter, we work collaboratively to strengthen the ecosystem for young entrepreneurs throughout the region.
YBC operates as a collaborative network guided by the YBC Committee, which comprises representatives from each Member Trust. The Committee’s role, as outlined in the YBC Charter, focuses on providing ongoing strategic direction, facilitating vision and strategy execution, fostering collaboration and communication (including digital transformation) among members, supporting members in delivering quality services, undertaking advocacy for youth entrepreneurship, and mobilizing resources for the network.
Direct support services like training, mentorship, and business development are delivered by our dedicated, independent Member Trusts within their respective countries. This ensures that young entrepreneurs receive culturally relevant, locally tailored support from experts familiar with their specific context.
This network model combines the strength of regional coordination, shared best practices, and potential global connections with the power of localized, on-the-ground implementation, creating a robust support system for Caribbean youth.
