"The Emerging Global Leaders of Barbados or as we like to call it EGLB is an organization seeking to give young people a voice. Positive peers pressure and service are two key objectives." said Chrita Soleyn at the recent launch, she continued...

"A very smart gentleman who also happens to be my personal motivator and the EGLB fascinator Mr. Jeffery Broomes once told me the key to bring a leader is the willingness to serve and knowing this EGLB intends to be an organization to serve."

We believe young people can creatively shape a better tomorrow as stated in our motto “empowering today’s youth to creatively shape a better tomorrow”

Some people try to class student who join organizations or think you must have a certain mannerism to be a leader I stand here as testimony of how false that theory is all you need to be is a young person with a passion and who is willing to make a difference. If we think about it we are already leaders of our lives, in our community, in school and even within our family.

I am now inviting all young people between the age of 13 and 21 to stand and reach for the hand of another young person, you could be holding the hand of the future Prime Minister and future leaders.

Please repeat after me now I will lead and not follow I will create and not destroy I will believe and not doubt I am a force for good I am a force for God I am a leader

Today we will defy the odds and set a new standard. Young people let us rise to the occasion and step up, don’t underestimate yourself because now we are the voice, to the adults I assure you this will not be the last time you hear of us!

UNICEF Representative Mr. Tom Olsen stated, “National governments need to recognize the importance of the opinion and voices of youth if they intend to move forward with their development agendas, as does the UN.”
