In this regard, applications are invited from young men and women age 18 to 35 who are interested in developing their Social Enterprise.

A social enterprise is an organization that uses business strategies to maximize social impact. A social enterprise is distinguished from other types of businesses, non-profits and government agencies by the following criteria:

Addressing a cultural, social or environmental need is the principle goal of the organization, which serves the common good through its products and services or through offering employment to people who face barriers to mainstream employment;

Surpluses and profits are principally reinvested into its social, cultural or environmental mandate.

Application forms can be obtained at the Dominica Youth Business Trust Office, 42 Kennedy Avenue, Youth Development Division on High Street, District Youth Development Officers or the DYBT Facebook Page.

Application forms should reach the Dominica Youth Business Trust no later than Friday 7th May, 2021.
