🌎💙 Different contexts. Common aspirations.

Across the Caribbean, young people may face different circumstances, but they share many of the same hopes: quality education and healthcare, informed choices, and brighter futures.

This International Youth Day 2026, we’re putting the spotlight on our partnership with @alinea_ideas , @_oecscommission , powered by @global.affairs.canada and our regional Ministries, The REACH Project.

Our initiative is putting young people at the heart of action. Through our Youth Ambassador Programme, young people are empowered to raise their voices, share their perspectives, and help shape conversations around adolescent health and well-being.

From safe spaces for dialogue to practical support for adolescents, the REACH project is working across the Caribbean to help young people thrive.

Different contexts. Common aspirations. One shared commitment to a brighter future. 🌱

🌍 REACH Project Enters Year 2: Turning Evidence in

🌍 REACH Project Enters Year 2: Turning Evidence into Action Across the OECS

The journey continues! 🚀

Following the successful completion of the Year 1 baseline assessment, the Reproductive Education and Adolescent Health (REACH) Project has launched its Year 2 implementation across Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Using evidence and community insights, REACH is strengthening adolescent-friendly health services, expanding youth participation, and creating more responsive systems that address the needs of young people—including greater engagement of adolescent boys and young men.

At the heart of REACH is a commitment to ensuring young people are not just beneficiaries, but active voices in shaping the programmes and policies that impact their lives.

C-TECH Caribbean, alongside Alinea International Canada, Global Affairs Canada, the OECS Commission, Ministries of Health, civil society partners, health workers, and young people, is working to build more inclusive, youth-centred health systems across the region.

Together, we are creating a future where young people are heard, empowered, and supported. 💙
