Episode Details

Fifteen ambitious high schoolers just completed a groundbreaking two-week summer program hosted by the Inter-American Development Bank, designed to ignite their futures in international development. From July 13th to 24th, these rising twelfth graders—mostly young women from underserved communities—gained real-world experience, shadowed professionals, and explored sustainable development in The Bahamas. Volunteering IDB staff guided them through hands-on learning and mentorship, helping them envision careers in key industries. One student, Demarion Dawkins, who dreams of accounting, called it transformative—building confidence and connections. This inaugural initiative is more than a summer camp; it’s a bold investment in human capital, opening doors and expanding horizons for the next generation of Bahamian leaders.
