The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security on Thursday launched its ‘Young Influencers’ programme to prepare youths to make a difference within their communities and among their peers.
The ministry said the one-year programme, which was launched at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC), brings together 25 outstanding young people from across the country, who are expected to be actively involved in community outreach and other programmes.
Speaking at the launch, Human Services Minister Dr Vindhya Persaud said that the idea of the forum is not only to empower youth, but to be able influence others in a positive direction, and to create linkages with other youth across the country.
