Each year Junior Chamber International (JCI) selects 10 outstanding young people under 40 years from around the world who live the JCI Mission in extraordinary ways. The JCI Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP) Programme serves to formally recognize young people who excel in their chosen fields and create positive change. By recognizing these young people, JCI raises the status of socially responsible leaders in this world. In addition to recognizing their own efforts, the honorees motivate their peers to seek excellence and serve others.
Their stories of discovery, determination and ingenuity inspire young people to be better leaders and create better societies. JCI Dominica through collaboration with the general public received three (3) nominations, all of which after careful review were chosen to be submitted to JCI West Indies. JCI West Indies will then conduct a review process and if successful, one or more nominated young Dominicans will be presented to JCI to be awarded in their respective field.
