After months of discussion surrounding the Chapman Challenge, it has been announced that the initiative of President Jeffrey Bostic will be officially launched on September 23.

In a media release issued on Saturday by the President’s Trust, it was stated that the Chapman Challenge is designed to provide structured pathways for Barbadian youth aged 10 to 24, offering mentorship, community engagement, and progressive leadership development.

The programme will be built entirely on voluntary, part-time service and reflects the principle that “true leadership is measured not by position or payment, but by contribution to community and nation”.
