Practise Safe Sex, Do Your Checks!
We encourage youth to practise healthy sexual behaviours and where possible, abstain from sexual activity until in a better position to make smart decisions. In 2015, we partnered with the HIV/AIDS Unit within the Ministry of Health (SVG) for World AIDS Day, "Getting To Zero."
The CARICOM Youth Ambassador Programme was launched in Saint Lucia in 1993 by the Heads of Government to mark the Twentieth Anniversary of CARICOM and was formally instituted in 1994. Since its inception, the Youth Ambassador Programme has contributed to increased youth knowledge and awareness of CARICOM issues and priorities; has raised the profile of young people at the national and regional levels; and has assisted in integrating the views and perspectives of young people from across the Region into national, regional and international policy and programmes.
CARICOM Youth Development Goals:
Education and Economic Empowerment
Building adolescent and youth capacity for sustainable livelihoods through quality and relevant education and economic empowerment;
Culture, Identity and Citizenship
Enhancing the development and appreciation of Caribbean culture and identity and commitment to national development and regional integration;
