Kelvin Simon Marks International Youth Day with Call for Greater Opportunities
St Mary’s South MP Kelvin ‘Shugy’ Simon has marked International Youth Day 2025 by urging greater investment in skills, leadership platforms and regional exchanges for young people.
The global observance, held under the theme “Local Youth Actions for the SDGs and Beyond”, highlights the role of young people in advancing sustainable development goals. Simon said youth are “leaders, innovators and problem-solvers” who understand community challenges and have the energy to “drive real change.”
He stressed the importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, entrepreneurship and national development, and pointed to sports as a powerful tool for building teamwork, discipline and resilience.
Next week, Simon will lead a sporting and cultural exchange trip to St Kitts with athletes from St Mary’s South, aimed at giving them regional exposure and competitive experience. He expressed hopes of expanding the programme across the Leeward Islands to create “a network of youth who are confident, connected and ready to lead.”
Simon pledged to continue creating opportunities for young people in his constituency, adding that when youth thrive, “our whole nation — and our region — move forward.”

Here’s another great member of the UPP that has a genuine and caring heart for the youth of Antigua.
Time and time again, the Most Honourable Kelvin “Shugy’ Simon has shown that politicians aren’t all about self-enrichment and accumulating wealth to the detriment of hardworking Antiguans.
Our taxpaying dollars has been misused and misdirected, and one of the main reasons why crime is now so out of control.
Hopefully, when UPP return to power in a couple of years time they’ll fulfill all the broken manifesto promises (including tackling crime) of Gaston Browne and his ABLP vagabonds.
Shugy recognises the plight and difficulties that the youth are encountering and he’ll deal with it head on.
The Over Inflated Windbag was once in the trenches with Shugy but switched all because of the filthy lucre. The entire constituency and the people therein can go to hell once his wallet is bulging. He has not one bit of integrity
