Saint Lucian Young Leaders in Canada

The Saint Lucian Young Leaders in Canada (SYLC) is a non-profit organization that is committed to enhancing the quality of life of young Saint Lucians in Canada while driving Canada's economic and cultural growth.

About us

The Saint Lucian Young Leaders in Canada (SYLC) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life for young Saint Lucians residing in Canada, while driving Canada's economic and cultural growth. Founded in November 2018 by a group of visionary young Saint Lucians, our organisation aims to foster greater prosperity and unity among the Saint Lucian youth. As nationals of a Small Island Developing State (SIDS), we recognise the unique challenges that come with pursuing educational and career opportunities in a diverse and expansive society like Canada. Through the establishment of SYLC, we are committed to providing knowledge, resources, and valuable connections to support our fellow young Saint Lucians on their journeys in Canada.

Encourage & facilitate youth projects

Saint Lucian Young Leaders in Canada (SYLC) has been established by a team of young Saint Lucians residing in Canada.  We are moved with the intent to encourage and facilitate youth projects and outreach initiatives while bridging generational gaps within our culture and diaspora.  We continue to work as one to achieve Youth Empowerment through mentorship, education, youth development, community improvement and cultural exchange. While this is just the start, we look forward to connecting, working and growing with our people, including you!
