East Yard began in 2017 as a creative community space in East Trinidad. In 2021, it evolved into East Yard Enterprises, an independent creative social enterprise committed to culture, commerce, and cross-cultural collaboration to drive community development and innovation.

​

At the heart of our work is the AMPLIFY Connect Creative Social Enterprise Fellowship—a flagship capacity-building program supporting Caribbean changemakers in turning bold ideas into sustainable social ventures. Each year, the fellowship culminates in the AMPLIFY Connect: Creative Social Enterprise Summit, our signature event spotlighting creativity, commerce, and community impact through talks, workshops, panels, and exhibitions.

​

We meet our region’s need for innovative, purpose-driven entrepreneurship by building pathways for creative leaders and nonprofits to amplify their work, grow sustainably, and expand their impact across communities and borders.
