Call for the Creation of a
Youth Haitian Ambassadors Council
“Young leaders in every country represent their country with the uttermost passion and pride. More than ever, in this globalized era, we need Young Haitian Ambassadors to promote the Haitian Dream—a dream that promotes opportunity, economic sustainability, and prosperity in Haiti.”
- Steeve, 20 years old.
Since Haiti took its independence in 1804, the views and perspectives of the youth have been absent in the policy making process. Young Haitians both in Haiti and abroad have lacked the ultimate belief that they can unify as one to bring change and reforms in their beloved ‘Darling Haiti’. The genuine alliance of young Haitians is critical if we, as a nation, are to insure the effectiveness of our Haitian Dream which promotes opportunity, economic sustainability, and prosperity. Therefore, we the undersigned, call for the creation of a Youth Haitian Ambassadors Council to provide the national government with unique insights and recommendations from young people regarding the policy issues that impact our nation’s millions of young Haitians both in Haiti and abroad.
Youth Haitian Ambassadors Council is an assembly constituted of nominated young Haitians to represent the voice and the interest of the Haitian youth both in Haiti and abroad.
Youth Haitian Ambassadors Council
The Youth Haitian Ambassadors Council would consist of young people selected from across the country and abroad to:
● Advise the President, the Prime Minister, the heads of National ministries and agencies providing youth services, Members of Congress, and senior National Government officials and proposed and pending legislation, budget expenditures, and other policy matters with respect to youth, particularly disadvantaged youth
● Gather the views and perspectives of young people across the country
● Develop a highly competitive educational program to assist unique and selected young Haitian Leaders & Scholars to advance their training to better serve Haiti
Structure
The Youth Haitian Ambassadors Council would:
● Work closely with the Executive Office of the President
● Work closely with the Haitian Embassies
● Work closely with the ‘Office of Liaison of the Presidency with the Diaspora’
● Consist of 30 young people serving three year terms
● Meet in person not fewer than 4 times each year, and online and via phone not fewer than 8 times each year
● Select youth ambassadors based on demonstrated competence in public service and intellectual capacity that can unify Haitians to promote opportunity, economic sustainability, and prosperity in Haiti
