The President's Trust BARBADOS 
About The President's Trust
Established under the patronage of His Excellency the President of Barbados, the Trust raises funds and builds partnerships so that young Barbadians can reach their potential and contribute to their communities.
Our vision
A society where young people have access to the support, opportunities, and experiences needed to become confident, capable, and community minded citizens, regardless of background, circumstance, or ability.
What we do
The Trust is a platform for programmes and initiatives that help young people reach their full potential while contributing to their communities. It raises money, brings partners together, and supports work already happening in communities across the island.
Working with schools, community groups, and the private sector to widen reach.
Increasing access to funding, and helping donors give to causes that matter to them.
Recruiting, training, and supporting volunteer mentors across the parishes.
Meeting young people where they are, in the communities that raised them.
Our areas of focus
Each area is a standing commitment of the Trust, delivered through its own programmes and through partners already working in communities across the island.
Be part of the change.
Together we can create opportunities, open doors, and build a brighter future for our young people.
Flagship programme
Service, discipline, character
A free three level programme for young Barbadians aged 10 to 24. You are matched with a mentor, you give about two to three hours a week around school or work, and you work towards a national Bronze, Silver or Gold award. It launches on Friday 9 October at the Sir Garfield Sobers Gymnasium, Wildey.
Latest from the Trust
The Krosfyah frontman grew up in the Bayland, in a home that depended on the neighbours even for water to bathe. A 4-H club mentored him and entered him in a teen talent show at 12.

On Morning Barbados he explained why getting a mentor for free was, in his words, a wonderful opportunity. There is only so much you can learn from a book.
