Meet Caribbean Elective
We’re the people behind growing youth tourism in the Caribbean. We believe by embracing the skills of young people we can support communities in Saint Lucia.
What do we do?
We bring students from the UK and the USA to Saint Lucia to take part in work experience programmes and projects which we create. The programmes are designed to give the students incredible hands-on work and life experience which will help them grow as young people and professionals. But also, vitally all of our programmes are inspired by challenges faced by communities in Saint Lucia. Our projects for 2023 are inspired by Legal Aid, Community Mental Health Care, Marine Conservation, Youth Development and many more.
On this page, you’ll be able to find out more about our work and watch videos about former student groups.
