Enterprise for Youth’s Post

Happy International Youth Day! Today, we celebrate the power, energy, and potential of young people around the world. As a professional, I believe it's essential to empower, support, and mentor the next generation of leaders. Let's recognize the contributions of youth in shaping our communities, driving innovation, and creating positive change. Together, we can foster a brighter future for all. #InternationalYouthDay #YouthEmpowerment #MentorshipMatters #LeadersOfTomorrow"

With Murray Sinclair's passing, it got me thinking about what tomorrow looks like for our community. Are we prepared to keep supporting and empowering the youth so that, when tomorrow comes, there are footprints left to guide the way? I’m constantly inspired by Indigenous youth who are already driving change in tech, medicine, and environmental justice—all while honoring their heritage. Their resilience and leadership make me hopeful, yet it also reminds me of our responsibility to nurture that potential. Supporting their journey means more than just providing resources. It’s about creating spaces where their voices lead. Imagine a future where every Indigenous youth has access to the mentorship, funding, and encouragement they deserve—where their ideas shape our world. Murray Sinclair’s legacy calls on us to continue building that future. Let’s do our part to uplift, support, and make room for these changemakers. They aren’t just leaders of tomorrow—they’re already making an impact today. #IndigenousYouth #FutureLeaders #TruthAndReconciliation #Changemakers

Youth Have the Power to Change the World 🌟 When young people are given the tools, support, and space to share their ideas, incredible things happen. They become leaders, change-makers, and innovators in their communities. Let’s empower youth to speak up, take charge, and make an impact. Together, we can create a world where every voice matters. 🌎✨ How can you uplift youth voices today? . . . #youthdevelopment #teambuilding #teamculture #organizationaldevelopment

Balkis Chaabane, MA, our Founder & Executive Director, passionately speaks about the pivotal role of young people in shaping our world’s future. As the world stands at a crossroads, it's clear that the solutions to our global challenges lie in the hands of the youth. 👧🏾👦🏻🧒🏼 We are facing unprecedented conflicts and crises on a global scale — from climate change to social injustices. The way forward is not just about policies and decisions made in boardrooms; it’s about amplifying the voices of young people who will inherit the consequences of today’s choices. 🌱📢 “Youth are the only way forward. There can never be a future about us without us,” Balkis reminds us. It’s a call to action for empowering young leaders, harnessing their creativity, resilience, and passion for driving sustainable change. 🚀✨ Let’s stand together and support youth-led movements, initiatives, and leadership. Because when young people lead, the future is brighter for all. 💡🫱🏼🫲🏾 👉 Join us in transforming narratives and creating a world that truly reflects the values and visions of our youth. 🌁 Instagram: @yt.narratives 📱 Facebook: Youth Transforming Narratives - YTN 🌐 Website: https://buff.ly/3StheXt #YouthLeadership #FutureIsNow #TransformingNarratives #SustainableFuture #YouthEmpowerment #ChangeMakers

Today, we celebrate the incredible potential and promise of our youth. But this day is not just a celebration—it’s a reminder of the vital responsibility we, as the older generation, carry. It’s our duty to teach, guide, and equip the young people of today with the tools they need to thrive tomorrow. Self-worth and empowerment are not just buzzwords; they are the foundations upon which future leaders, innovators, and change-makers are built. We must love and uplift this next generation, showing them that they are not alone in their journey. By offering our support, encouragement, and belief in their abilities, we help them see their own value and the limitless possibilities ahead. Let us commit to mentoring, supporting, and uplifting the next generation. Our actions today will shape the world of tomorrow. #internationalyouthday #youthempowerment #selfworth #upliftothers #futureleaders

This week, let’s start with purpose and remember the reasons we push forward. The next generation of leaders is not just our future—they’re our present hope, our vision for change, and the promise of resilience and strength that our communities need. They bring fresh perspectives, boundless energy, and the courage to push boundaries we may have only begun to explore. I do what I do to help them grow because I know how vital it is to uplift, mentor, and guide these emerging voices. They need to see what’s possible, to feel supported, and to have champions who believe in their potential. The work I put in today is my commitment to a brighter tomorrow—one where our young leaders are empowered, confident, and ready to make a difference. Investing in them means investing in a future where Indigenous voices are not just heard but are leading the way. To the next generation: keep dreaming big, stay rooted in who you are, and know that we’re here to lift you every step of the way. #FutureLeaders #Empowerment #CommunityGrowth #MondayMotivation #Inspiration"

Happy United Nations Day! 🌍 Today, I had the privilege of virtually attending the youth-led "Pact for the Future" event. How many of us are aware of the Pact for the Future? It's a global effort to ensure that young people are at the center of decision-making, directly contributing to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) to SDG 13 (Climate Action), youth leadership is critical in addressing health challenges, climate change, and other pressing issues like Gender equity, Poverty and Hunger. The health challenges we face—from pandemics to climate-related health issues—require youth leadership and innovative solutions. By amplifying young voices in discussions around health equity and sustainability, we can create resilient systems that are aligned with the SDGs and are future-ready. How can young people drive progress toward the SDGs and the Pact for the Future, especially in healthcare? #PactForTheFuture #YouthLeadership #UnitedNationsDay #SDGs #GlobalHealth #Sustainability #HealthEquity #ClimateAction

This International Youth Day, we shine a spotlight on the incredible power of youth—because when young people are empowered, their passion and vision have the potential to uplift entire communities and spark transformative change. 🌍🌟 The energy and commitment we see in our young voices are not just a testament to their dreams but a blueprint for a better future.

At HHK, we are proud to stand with them, fostering an environment where their ideas can flourish and their voices are heard. Because when youth lead, we all rise.
