AMPLIFY Connect: Creative Social Enterprise Summit 2024 Review

Hosted at The American Center, U.S. Embassy Port-of-Spain, this culminating event marked the close of East Yard Enterprises’ inaugural AMPLIFY Nonprofit Creative Capacity Building Program. In collaboration with MPCo – The Marlin Payne Company and with generous support from the U.S. Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago, the showcase celebrated the bold, innovative campaigns designed by 11 participating nonprofits and social enterprises. These initiatives tackled issues ranging from cultural preservation to youth development and mental wellness. The event was a powerful reflection of a year of planning, mentorship, and community-rooted creativity, reinforcing East Yard’s commitment to supporting scalable, impact-driven solutions led by Caribbean changemakers.
