A statement from the Government follows below:

Minister for Equality, Employment, Culture, Tourism and Youth, The Hon. Christian Santos GMD  MP presented Young Leaders with certificates following a successful summer programme. 

The Gibraltar Youth Service hosted a certificate ceremony to honour the young people who  completed the Young Leaders Programme and to recognise their commitment, enthusiasm and  growth. 

The programme saw participants dedicate their time to a series of leadership workshops and  hands-on placements within local youth clubs. Through hard work and positive engagement,  these young people have demonstrated remarkable potential and maturity well beyond their  years. 

Minister Santos had officially launched the programme earlier this year and marked its  conclusion by presented certificates to each young leader, congratulating them on their  achievements and encouraging them to continue developing their leadership journeys. 

He said “It is important to show young people that the stereotypes of leaders can be broken.  Kindness, support, empathy, commitment and decision making are recognised leadership skills  which our Young Leaders have demonstrated they have.” 

The Youth Service extends its warmest congratulations to all participants and looks forward to  supporting future cohorts.
