Objectives

1.

7. We want young entrepreneurs to succeed and become positive change-agents.
8. We want to create a ‘Safe Space to Empower Youth Entrepreneurs to Make Impact.’

Diversity and Inclusion

One Guyana

We affirm diversity and inclusive excellence to be integral to the development of Guyana. It is important that we find ways to build cultural, generational and socioeconomic bridges. Equally important, is to encourage young people to make a habit of excellence, integrity, self-improvement and empowering each other. Guyana’s future lies in people who put country first and place a high value in each other.

Leave no one behind

Brand YOUth is committed to building a platform upon which a solution to the culture of polarization, poverty, and racism can be agreed upon and implemented. We are building a culture of inclusiveness.

Imagine a Guyana

Imagine a Guyana where young people are motivated to interact with those who are different in beliefs, gender, politics, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. Imagine a Nation whose young people are determined to make a difference and committed to Guyana, community, and excellence. Imagine if they have more resources, are taught and encouraged to be more resourceful. Let’s encourage them to reject [cannot-ism], pessimism and racism, and embrace [Guyana-ism].

Dear Friend of Brand YOUth Global,

I see young Guyanese purpose-driven entrepreneurs today, and it strengthens me. They are creative, community minded, committed, and resourceful. This attitude of getting things done and their action-oriented mindset convinced me that there is a way to help eradicate the poverty mindset and develop Guyana for ALL its citizens.

Leveraging the collective potential of the purpose-driven entrepreneur to solve some of society’s problems became the mission.

Our objective is to build a community of these like-minded young people, activate their potential, and deliver the value of that potential to society in the form of transformative movements.

A single purpose-driven entrepreneur can change the world. Imagine what a community of them can do.

This is Brand YOUth!
