Everyday, our great party, the United National Congress continues to grow stronger and stronger.

This is due to the hard work that individuals like Nicholas Morris and members of the Youth Arm of the Party continue to carry out. It is my view that all members of the party should continue to support and encourage the youths as by their hard work they are demonstrating that change comes about through vision and action.

It is clear that they are complementing the work of the government. The work of the youth group deserves high commendation and gives a lie to the belief that youths are not interested in politics and in service to the nation.
I have noted with admiration that the youths of the UNC are walking districts meeting other youths and inspiring them to join in creating the change.

In the words of Nicholas Morris “My vision for the Youth Arm and all who may seek to join is very simple, the Youth Arm must be the body which brings youth of this nation together despite race, religion and backgrounds to use their respective talents to benefit our nation and the beautiful diverse people who call Trinidad and Tobago home.” With such a lofty and focussed vision Mr Morris and the Youth Arm are bound to succeed.
The Youth Arm as well as seeking to build our nation is also demonstrating that they are committed to building the youths themselves as they prepare to be future leaders within our country and even global community.
For the Year 2012 The UNC YOUTH ARM have hit the ground running and have already launched three major projects:
1. Feeding the homeless - On January 7th members of the National Youth Arm launched a program to feed the Homeless individuals of Chaguanas. They plan to make this a monthly project where they will feed the various homeless people throughout our nation and extend it to geriatric homes and orphanages.
2. They launched in collaboration with the Women ‘s Arm a Walkabout which has seen them in the past month walk areas of Chaguanus, San Fernando, Princes Town , Siparia, Oropuche West and Sangre Grande.
3. In January they launched their Councillor’s Appreciation Project, where the National Youth Arm awarded all UNC Local Government Councillors with tokens of appreciation for their hard work. From this they hope to build a working relationship so they can have a closer link with all communities.
4. Membership Drive – They have recorded over 120 new members for 2012 into the National Youth Arm and Party.
In February they will be starting a Youth Talk show on Radio Jagriti to promote the party's leadership, governance and defend as well as promote their hard work entitled "Voice of the Youth". This will be followed by a Magazine Launch in March also entitled "Voice of the Youth"
