The Prime Minister’s Youth Awards for Excellence returned to the prestigious lawns of Jamaica House on Saturday, June 1, 2025, celebrating the outstanding achievements of the nation’s youth across a range of fields. Among this year’s honourees were trailblazers in Entrepreneurship and Social Entrepreneurship, two categories vital to national development and innovation.
As part of its ongoing commitment to youth empowerment and nation-building, the Supreme Ventures Foundation proudly sponsored a $500,000 grant to be shared among the winners in these categories. This contribution reflects SV Foundation’s belief in the transformative power of young entrepreneurs and social change-makers, and its dedication to investing in the future of Jamaica.
The evening was a powerful reminder that when given the right support, Jamaica’s youth can and will lead the charge toward a brighter, more inclusive future.
