In keeping with the strategic objective of ensuring that all eight (8) District Youth Councils within the management framework of the National Youth Council of Dominica (NYCD) are established and functional, the NYCD is once again facilitating series of District Youth Forums.

On Saturday 19th November two (2) such forums were convened in the Roseau Central & South District and the Northern District at the Roseau and Portsmouth Youth Centers respectively.

The Youth Forums serve as a platform for youth leaders and young Dominicans to share ideas and/or develop programs which contribute the empowerment of youth residing in their respective districts. The forums are open to youth under the age of thirty-five (35).

At each Forum, a Work Session focused on the development of a District Level Work-plan was conducted. Participants split into groups, collating a list of activities planned by respective youth organizations and identified additional activities as required to meet their objectives.

When finalized, each District Youth Council Quarterly Work-plan will contain no less than four (4) key activities:
a. A District Youth Forum
b. A fund raising activity
c. A capacity building activity
d. A District Outreach event/activity

Important matters forming part of the NYCDs 2016-2017 work program, including the NYCD Enterprise, review of the National Youth Policy and the upcoming NYCD Youth Caucus were also discussed at the Forum.

The NYCD wishes to thank the Youth Development Officers of the Roseau Central & South as well as the North Youth District and the youth leaders who attended the forums for their active participation and great work in drafting their respective work-plans.
