The National Youth Council of Dominica (NYCD) is the officially recognized umbrella youth organization in the Commonwealth of Dominica. The role of the NYCD is inclusive of developing youth empowerment programs; youth representation; advocacy; lobbying for youth development and building capacity of Dominica’s youth to become gainfully employed model citizens in the future.

Since its inception in May of 2018, the new executive board has strived to be impactful, transparent and fully committed to the cause of developing the Dominican youth. However, several incidents have deemed us responsible for halting what can only be described as the tarnishing of the NYCD name and reputation.

Your current President has engaged in a series of actions and statements that we the other executive members have deemed unacceptable in this position.

As per Article 8 section 10 of the NYCD Constitution” The  National Executive shall have the power to suspend a member of any Committee pending the calling of a General Assembly to resolve the matter provided that two thirds (2/3) of the total membership of the National Executive are in favor of such suspension.

As it stands currently seven members of the current eight existing and functioning executive, agree on this suspension.

This Press Release stands as notice that on the 15^th of October 2019 Paul Baron was informed that he should desist from any action that constitutes him representing the National Youth Council as President until General Assembly.

Hence any public speech or statement made by Paul Baron is not to be associated with the National Youth Council of Dominica or on the behalf of the council. He is also not permitted to act as the NYCD’s representative in any capacity.

First Vice President Kerdisha St. Louis assumed his responsibilities until this such time.

If you require any further information please feel free to contact the NYCD at 4486944 or [email protected].

We look forward to your response as we both strive to assist Dominica’s youth through professional development.

Respectfully,

NYCD Executive
