Gros-Islet, Saint Lucia, 28th August, 2026 – Bank of Saint Lucia and the Centre for Adolescent Renewal and Education (C.A.R.E.) reaffirmed their longstanding commitment to youth development with the reinstatement of a three-year covenant of support.
The covenant, which takes effect this year, was formally signed at the Bank’s Financial Centre by C.A.R.E. Executive Director, Dr. Karleen Mason, and Bank of Saint Lucia’s Acting Chief Operations Officer, Mr. Daniel Eugene.
The renewed three-year commitment builds on a partnership between the two institutions that spans more than twenty years and reflects their shared interest in creating opportunities for young people to develop the skills and confidence needed to build productive and independent futures. Through its support of C.A.R.E., Bank of Saint Lucia continues to invest in an institution that provides young people with opportunities for personal growth, skills development and preparation for the world of work and entrepreneurship.
Acting Chief Operations Officer, Mr. Daniel Eugene stated that “the reinstatement of the covenant offers a framework for sustained support over the next three years. This allows C.A.R.E. to continue its important work in helping young people develop practical competencies and pursue opportunities for further development and employment. The renewed covenant is an investment in the potential of Saint Lucia’s youth and in the development of resilient communities and a more robust economy.”
Dr. Mason welcomed the continuation of the relationship and expressed appreciation to Bank of Saint Lucia for its confidence in the work of C.A.R.E. The partnership, she noted, “has contributed to supporting the institution in its mission of empowering young people and helping them realise their potential.”
As the partnership enters a new three-year phase, both Bank of Saint Lucia and C.A.R.E. remain committed to working together to create avenues and brighter futures for the young people who will benefit from the programme.
