“The Government of Bermuda is proud to support this programme as we have since it commenced. Both are graduates from the Future Leaders Summer Programme and now serve as Assistant Directors for the organisation, helping to empower other young people and continuing the incredible work that has helped them develop into outstanding young, influential leaders in our community. “To see the programme’s success, you need look no further than Mr Seon Tatem and Ms Mckenzie Kohl-Tuckett. These friendships will be a constant source of support and collaboration as they navigate the opportunities that lie ahead. They will work and learn alongside like-minded individuals, bound by a shared passion for progress and a determination to make a positive impact on our society. “And perhaps most importantly, this program will help to forge lasting friendships and lifelong connections among these future leaders. These interactions will undoubtedly foster a sense of possibility and instil in our students the belief that they can help shape our island’s future. “They will have the chance to interact with leaders from government, business, and non-profit sectors-gaining insights and inspiration from those who have dedicated themselves to making a difference.
They will be encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, to embrace innovation and adaptability, and embrace diversity and inclusivity as pillars of a thriving community. “Through a comprehensive blend of academic study, hands-on education, and meaningful service to local organisations, the 16 young participants in this year’s cohort will examine pressing social issues, such as poverty, social justice, and inequality. “Since 2017 the Future Leaders Summer programme and the outstanding team founded by Mr Ryan Robinson Perinchief have helped to unlock the potential of 86 future leaders over five summer programmes, educating them about the important matters that face our society today and empowering them with the skills and knowledge to effect positive change. Yet, some of our young people, like those standing beside me today, know that the pressing matters of today will impact and shape their lives in the years to come and that the time to get involved, learn, and develop yourself is now. “In today’s complex world, young people often observe critical societal issues from the sidelines, forced to witness the deliberations of older generations. “Nelson Mandela once said, ‘The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow’, and those simple yet profound words are embodied here as I stand amongst these incredible young people who represent a bright future for our island. Welcome to the Cabinet Office for the launch of the 2023 Future Leaders Summer Programme. Premier David Burt said, “Good Afternoon to the Future Leaders team, students, and members of the media. Yesterday, Premier David Burt and Future Leaders Bermuda held a press conference to announce the 17 students selected to participate in the 2023 Future Leaders Summer Induction Programme.
