Project Discovery Dominica is proud to announce the participation of two outstanding young people, Geyoudena Desir and Reece Lantan, at the Caribbean Youth Forum for Environment and Development (CARYFED) 2026, being held in Grenada from July 14–24, 2026. Their participation reflects the organization’s continued commitment to empowering Dominican youth through leadership development, environmental stewardship, and regional collaboration.
This milestone is especially significant as it builds upon Project Discovery Dominica’s longstanding relationship with CARYFED. In 2023, three Dominican youth participated in the CARYFED Forum in Trinidad and Tobago, where they gained valuable knowledge, leadership skills, and regional perspectives on sustainable development and youth engagement.
Inspired by that experience, Project Discovery Dominica was officially launched in 2024 to create a national platform dedicated to developing environmentally conscious and community-minded young leaders. That same year, Dominica had the distinct honour of hosting the CARYFED Forum, welcoming youth delegates from across the Caribbean and further strengthening the country’s commitment to youth leadership and sustainable development.
As the organization enters its next phase of growth, the participation of this year’s delegates marks an exciting new chapter. Upon their return, the two young representatives will play a leading role in revitalizing Project Discovery Dominica by helping to recruit new members, develop programmes, and inspire other young people to become active leaders within their schools and communities.
Chairperson Beverly Leblanc expressed her enthusiasm for the initiative:
“Our investment in young people is an investment in the future of Dominica. We are incredibly proud of our delegates as they represent our country and Project Discovery Dominica on the regional stage. Their participation is not only an opportunity for personal growth but also a chance to bring back fresh ideas, strengthen youth leadership, and help shape the next chapter of Project Discovery Dominica. We are excited about the energy, innovation, and vision they will bring as we work together to expand opportunities for young people across the island.”
Project Discovery Dominica Communications Officer, Ms. Geyoudena Desir, also shared her excitement:
“My first CARYFED Forum was held in Dominica, and it was an incredible experience. It was also the year Project Discovery Dominica was launched. Although I was unable to attend last year’s forum, I am thrilled to participate in this year’s CARYFED Forum in Grenada. This is my first visit to the island, and I look forward to fully immersing myself in the experience. CARYFED has consistently created meaningful opportunities for young people across the region. As a representative of Project Discovery Dominica, I hope to use the knowledge, experience, and networks I gain to strengthen our chapter and share those opportunities with youth throughout Dominica.”
Delegate Reece Lantan also shared his expectations:
“I expect CARYFED to be both an interesting and enjoyable experience, and I am looking forward to learning and growing throughout the forum. I would encourage other young people to get involved in opportunities like this. I hope to return with a new perspective that will help create a better future and inspire other young people to enjoy the same life-changing experience.”
Project Discovery Dominica remains committed to providing meaningful opportunities that encourage leadership, environmental responsibility, volunteerism, and active citizenship. Through partnerships with regional organizations such as CARYFED, the organization continues to equip Dominican youth with the knowledge, skills, and networks needed to become leaders and advocates for sustainable development.
Project Discovery Dominica extends its best wishes to Ms. Geyoudena Desir and Mr. Reece Lantan of the Dominica Grammar School for a successful and rewarding experience at the CARYFED Annual Youth Forum. The organization looks forward to welcoming them home as ambassadors for youth leadership, environmental stewardship, and positive community action.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
