The Youth Hub

One door into everything already on offer.

Most young people do not fail for lack of talent. They stall because nobody tells them who to ask. YEEB is the person to ask. The key functions sit behind one request, and a person reads every one.

Business Development

Financing, registration, pricing and business plans across the orange economy, tourism, agriculture, agro-processing, the blue economy, retail, the green economy and other services.

Human Resource Development

Career guidance and development, job placement, career transitions, skills matching and workforce readiness.

Training and Mentorship

Skills training, structured mentorship, coaching and scholarships, connecting young people to the institutions and programmes that run them on both islands.

Psychosocial Support

Counselling, mental health and wellness support. Confidential, and seen only by the counselling team.

Five services

What The Youth Hub actually does for you.

The purpose of The Youth Hub is to be an agent of hope: to remove the barriers between young people and the services already built for them.

  • ReferralWe keep track of every national programme for young people, and send you to the right one with an introduction, not a phone number.
  • Entrepreneurial and financial supportGrant funding, business advisory and a route to growing something that lasts.
  • TrainingProgrammes built for the gaps we can see, so the skill you need exists on this island.
  • MentorshipSomeone who has done it already, matched to what you are trying to do.
  • Psychosocial supportCounselling and wellness, because building something is hard and nobody does it steady on their own.
Four pathways

Pick the road you are on.

Every programme, guide and mentor sits on one of four pathways. You do not have to know which one. Tell us what you are trying to do and we work it out with you.

Not sure which road?

Answer four quick questions.

We point you to where we recommend you start. A person still reads your request, and nothing here decides anything about you.

What are you trying to do right now?
Where are you with it?
What would help most first?
How are things for you at the moment?
Or skip this and send a request in your own words.
How it works

One request. One officer. Followed through.

No account, no fee, and no form full of questions before you can ask. And once you do, you are not passed from desk to desk.

Send a request
  1. Start here

    One door. Open the Start Here form, or answer four quick questions on the pathway finder and it points you to the right place.

  2. Tell us what you need

    Write what you are trying to do however it comes out. There is no wrong way to put it, and you do not need to know which function you want.

  3. Speak with YEEB

    Every request is read by a member of staff, not a machine. We aim to reply within two working days. YEEB drafts a summary and a suggested route to make that faster, but it does not decide anything.

  4. Get your pathway

    Build, Work, Learn or Grow. We match you to a function, a programme, a mentor, a partner agency or several at once. If we get it wrong, we move it and tell you.

  5. Receive support or a referral

    Some things The Youth Hub does itself. For the rest, you get an introduction to the partner who runs it, not just a phone number.

  6. YEEB follows up

    The same officer stays with your request and checks back in. You are never passed from desk to desk, and nothing goes cold.

Delivery

Four key functions, one request.

You send one request and we do the sorting. You do not have to know which one you need, or ask more than once.

Business Development

Financing, registration, pricing and business plans across the orange economy, tourism, agriculture, agro-processing, the blue economy, retail, the green economy and other services.

Real stories

This could be your story.

When the first young people take their next step with YEEB, they tell it here in their own words. You could be one of them.

The network

We are only as good as who we can reach.

We do not replace what already exists. What we do is know everyone who runs something for young people, and pick up the phone for you. These are the organisations behind the door.

Both islands

Where the work happens.

Before you ask

Questions people ask.

Who can use YEEB?

Any citizen or resident of St. Kitts and Nevis between the ages of 15 - 35. You do not need a business, a qualification or a plan. If you have an idea and nothing else yet, that is a good place to start.

Does it cost anything?

No. Every YEEB service is free.

Is what I write kept private?

Yes. What you write is seen by the staff handling your request. Anything you send to Psychosocial Support is seen only by the counselling team and is never sent to an automated system.

What if I pick the wrong function?

Nothing goes wrong. One request reaches The Youth Hub and staff move it to the right place. You are never turned away for asking in the wrong words.

Do I have to know what I want first?

No. Describe the situation and someone works out the route with you. That is the whole point of one door.

Which islands does YEEB cover?

Both. St. Kitts and Nevis, equally.

Do I need a business plan?

No. Come with an idea and nothing else if that is where you are. Business Development helps you build the plan, the pricing and the registration from there.

Can YEEB help me find work?

Yes. Human Resource Development covers career guidance, job placement, skills matching and getting you ready for the workplace.

Does YEEB give grants?

Yes. Grant funding sits alongside business advisory under entrepreneurial and financial support. What you could receive depends on what you are building, so an officer confirms that with you directly rather than the website guessing.

How long will I wait?

We aim to reply within two working days.

Whatever your next step is, start here.

No account. No fee. A person reads every request.
