Ambassador Marie Damour introduced the new members of the US Embassy Youth Council (EYC) for the 2024-2026 term, recognizing the achievements of the outgoing council.

Established in 2020, EYC focuses on empowering young leaders through advocacy and community engagement.

To launch their mandate, members from Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru and Tuvalu participated in a three-day planning retreat.

This is aimed at improving their understanding of the Embassy’s youth programs and developing a work plan for 2025.

The council will prioritize democracy, environmental stewardship, arts and education, and entrepreneurship, encouraging collaboration on projects that address the needs of Pacific youth.
