our Vision
Caribbean Christian student leaders who would recognize and realize their true potential as godly agents of change in their respective educational institutions. They will be sufficiently equipped to, and address pertinent moral, social and economic issues at the university from a Biblical perspective. Masses of students would be discipled and mentored by fellow students to love God and others.
our Mission
CARIFES Academy would partner with the different key influence groups in all national movements and other strategic partners within the Caribbean region and beyond to recruit, train and mentor Christian student leaders to be transformative agents of change in their respective sphere of influence.
What is the cost?
The cost of the conference for one student is 250 USD. We estimated that comparing the different cost to travel to some islands of the Caribbean to the venue in Trinidad & Tobago will give an average of 500 USD to cover the airfare of one student. Taking into account 250 USD for the conference cost and 500 USD for the airfaire we estimate the cost for one student to participate to CARIFES ACADEMY to be 750 USD.
