A local youth promotion group by the name of Ultim8 Promotions, a teen-founded organization, has announced a new community initiative titled “A Day of Giving Back.” The event will take place on Saturday 22nd, November at the local soup kitchen and will mark the official launch of a wider youth-driven outreach program focused on service and leadership.
The initiative aims to involve young people in meaningful community work, starting with volunteering to assist with serving meals to the homeless and those in need. Organizers say this project is designed not only to support vulnerable members of society, but also to teach youth the values of responsibility, empathy, and civic engagement.
What sets this initiative apart is its leadership. Unlike many community programs this one is planned and coordinated by the youth, giving youth a direct voice in decision-making and event organization. Ultim8 Promotions has previously demonstrated success in youth engagement through events such as End of Term Jam and UnderRated: The Ultim8 Teen Event, and is now expanding its efforts beyond entertainment into community service.
As part of the launch, the group is calling on more young people to get involved. Teens ages 13–18 are encouraged to volunteer and take part in future outreach activities. Interested individuals can sign up by sending a direct message to the group’s Instagram page (Ultim8_promotions) or by contacting WhatsApp 785-6653. Organizers believe this initiative will not only benefit the community, but also help develop the next generation of leaders in Antigua. Community members who wish to support the initiative are also welcome to contribute supplies or resources, as donations of any kind are appreciated and will go directly toward helping those in need.
