Who We Are and What We Do

The Millennium Fund was founded in Barbados in 1995 with the goal to forge partnerships among businesses, community organizations and individual volunteers to serve Barbados' neediest youth.

Rapid changes in the local and global economy over the last two decades have created stubborn sectors of unemployment among post-secondary young adults in Barbados.

High levels of joblessness among our 15-25 year olds have at least in part, contributed to increasing levels of crime, drug abuse, violence and social disaffection. Present trends guarantee that in the new century, youths affected by these conditions will prove particularly difficult to integrate into the mainstream of the productive economy.

The Millennium Fund aims to serve as one organization of community partners, dedicated to voluntary service, whose projects and plans can help to foster enterprise and opportunity for our neediest children and youth in the 21st century.

 

Our mission

  1. To brighten the horizons of hope for needy, marginal and at-risk youth by focusing social investment resources on these groups.
  2. To pool corporate and individual donations of money, expertise and time to develop and deliver community programs for these groups.
  3. To facilitate companies' commitment to community service by offering their employees a chance to use their skills to develop disadvantaged but deserving youth.
  4. To develop an effective training ground for individual and corporate volunteers to nurture marginal and disadvantaged youth into productive workers and responsible citizens.
