Bahamas Empowers Youth Entrepreneurs

Bahamian youth are getting a major boost as the Ministry of Youth and Sports doubles down on empowerment—with over a million dollars fueling the BE Inspired Program, offering training, mentorship, and microfunding to young entrepreneurs aged 18 to 35. This year, an extra $300K expands the Expo and Networking Mixer, while virtual platforms roll out across key islands. A landmark National Youth Commission Act ensures accountability and professionalism in youth work, and the newly established National Youth Assembly—complete with a Youth Senate and House—has already driven real change through community projects. Plus, the highly sought-after Youth Ambassadors Corps, dormant for a decade, is back with 66 applicants vying for just 14 spots, set to launch this fall.
