The Grenada Chapter of the Caribbean Youth Environment Network (CYEN) convened its Annual General Meeting on March 2, 2026, marking a significant milestone in youth-led environmental advocacy. Held at the True Blue Conference Room, the gathering served as both a reflective session on past achievements and a strategic planning forum for future initiatives.
During the election proceedings, members democratically selected a fresh Executive Committee to steer the organization’s course. Krima McDonald ascends to the presidency, with Nnandi Robinson assuming the role of Vice President. Jevaire Baptiste was appointed Secretary, while Reeane Springle will oversee financial stewardship as Treasurer.
This leadership cohort will receive operational support from National Coordinator Abigail Ellis and strategic guidance from National Advisor Trevor Thompson. The meeting facilitated comprehensive reviews of CYEN Grenada’s ongoing programs in youth development, environmental consciousness-raising, and sustainable community projects.
The newly inaugurated executives have pledged to intensify youth participation in critical areas including environmental stewardship, climate adaptation strategies, and sustainable development practices throughout Grenada. The organization has concurrently issued an open invitation for collaborative partnerships with government entities, private sector organizations, community groups, and international development agencies.
CYEN Grenada specifically seeks alliances focused on environmental education, climate action initiatives, conservation programs, and youth leadership cultivation. Additionally, the chapter welcomes new members aged 15-35 who demonstrate passion for environmental protection and sustainable development principles.
As a regional powerhouse, the Caribbean Youth Environment Network maintains its commitment to empowering young voices in environmental advocacy and resilience-building, fostering active participation in creating sustainable futures across the Caribbean region.
