01 – ABOUT
The Unlock Experience Foundation
At The Unlock Experience Foundation, we believe that every individual carries the key within to unlock their unique potential. We support youth aged 12 – 28 across the Caribbean through educational, cultural, and creative development programs that connect personal growth with community impact. Our programs focus on leadership, self-expression, and cultural heritage, helping young people build confidence, embrace their identity, and contribute to a more conscious and connected world. Each year, we celebrate their growth through a vibrant festival that showcases their stories, talents, and visions for the future.

02 – WHAT WE DO
WHAT WE DO
Our activities and programs are based on five pillars that guide our work with young people across the Caribbean:
1. UNLOCK YOUR VOICE
Your voice matters. We help young people find and express their unique voice through spoken word, poetry, and storytelling. This builds their confidence and honors personal and cultural narratives.
2. UNLOCK YOUR POWER
Strength comes from within. Through leadership development, self-awareness, and critical thinking, they learn to trust their inner power and lead with purpose.
3. UNLOCK YOUR CULTURE
Art connects us. We use music, dance, fashion, and food as a bridge to cultural pride and creative expression, which connects generations and strengthens community identity.
4. UNLOCK YOUR ROOTS
The past is a source of strength. Youth dive into their (Afro-)Caribbean heritage, and use the insights and resilience of their ancestry as inspiration for today.
5. UNLOCK YOUR FUTURE
The future is yours to create. From entrepreneurship to design labs, we support young changemakers in turning their ideas into action and shaping the world they envision.
