Barbadian youth organisations have been challenged to recognise their unique power in driving social change and to look beyond mere titles to understand the true weight of leadership.

The charge came during a capacity-building workshop hosted by the Division of Youth Affairs on Saturday aimed at strengthening the impact of youth-led entities within the national development ecosystem.

Addressing the young leaders at the Radisson Aquatica, Senator Roshanna Trim said while the state bears significant responsibility for youth development, independent youth entities hold an equally vital role that cannot be overlooked.
