Caribbean Youth Environment Network

CYEN is a youth-led NGO that empowers young citizens of the Caribbean to address socio-economic and environmental issues. Our mission as CYEN is to be a non-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the quality of life of Caribbean young people by facilitating their personal development and promoting their full involvement in all matters pertaining to the environment and sustainable development. CYEN promotes education and training, Caribbean integration and community empowerment as tools to develop an ethic amongst young people that assists in the conservation and protection of natural resources within the wider Caribbean. Our vision as CYEN is to be the leading youth environment and development organization in the Caribbean. We will be responsible for creating an appropriate space for young people to participate in the design, development, implementation and promotion of new, progressive, equitable, innovative and sustainable environmental, economic and social development policies and programmes across the wider Caribbean.
