CLE HAITI
Youth Program
Investing in the next generation
Specialized programs focused on investing in the nearly 60% of 12 million of Haiti’s population who are Youth under the age of 35. Despite the many hurdles they face as a group, Haitian Youth are dynamic, innovative and resourceful. Supporting this generation is critical as a long-term investment and a pathway to the transformation we all seek by equipping them with the skills and tools they need to better respond to the challenges they face and unlock new opportunities. We believe that growing the leadership pipeline within this group is the best, if not the only strategy to achieve the social and economic transformation Haiti needs. Therefore in 2014, we launched the National Youth Program to identify, connect and develop the leadership of like-minded youth.
REGIONAL AND NATIONAL EVENTS unite and inspire like-minded youth.
