The future may not be written in stone, but on Monday 29th September 2025 it was scribbled with purpose and passion. The 18th Annual National Youth Conference on Youth and Development, staged at the Aurora Resort as part of Youth Week 2025, gathered Anguilla’s youth in all their variety – from eager primary schoolers right up to 35-year-olds, alongside the members of the Anguilla National Youth Council, Anguilla Youth Parliament, and the National Youth Ambassadors Corps.
This year’s theme, “Building Tomorrow, Today – Rewriting the Script: One Voice, Many Stories”, struck a chord with the audience, which also included Her Excellency Governor Julia Crouch, Hon. Premier Cora Richardson-Hodge, Hon. Ministerial Assistant Jeison Bryan, and Hon. Parliamentary Secretary Cordel Richardson.
