Welcome to MSYA

The Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs (MSYA) is a service-oriented organization that caters to both the sport and youth-related needs of its stakeholders.   The MSYA is the arm of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, dedicated to empowering the nation’s youth and fostering the holistic development of our athletes.

The core mission of the Ministry revolves around promoting total participation and excellence in sport, encouraging healthy and active lifestyles among all citizens, and actively diversifying the youth development agenda for Trinidad and Tobago.

The Ministry is responsible for formulating and implementing national policies aimed at expanding the sport and youth development landscapes, ensuring that both sectors receive adequate support, resources, and opportunities for growth.

Where are we Going?

Strategic Direction

Sport plays a critical role in the social, economic, and human development of Trinidad and Tobago. The Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs is responsible for providing strategic leadership for the development of sport as a vehicle for healthy lifestyles, youth development, social inclusion, national pride, and international sporting success.

Guided by the National Sport Policy and aligned with national development priorities, the Ministry’s strategic direction focuses on building a coordinated, sustainable, and inclusive sport system. This system supports participation at the grassroots and community levels while establishing clear pathways for talent identification, athlete development, and high-performance achievement.

Key areas of focus include improving access to safe and modern sport infrastructure; strengthening governance, accountability, and capacity within national sport organisations; and supporting the professional development of coaches, officials, and sport administrators. The Ministry also promotes the integration of sport science, medicine, and technology to enhance athlete welfare and performance.

The Ministry is committed to fostering equitable opportunities for women and girls, persons with disabilities, and underserved communities, ensuring that sport remains accessible to all. Strategic partnerships with schools, community groups, national sport organisations, the private sector, and regional and international stakeholders are essential to advancing these objectives.

Through targeted investment, policy-driven programmes, and collaborative partnerships, the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs seeks to maximise the impact of sport as a tool for national development and to strengthen Trinidad and Tobago’s presence and performance on the regional and international sporting stage.

Our youth are vital to the future development of Trinidad and Tobago. They must be nurtured, listened to, protected and encouraged, given proper guidance and easy access to education, personal development, health care and meaningful employment. They must be supported and provided with the means to grow and develop and there must be a forum for their voices to be heard and their ideas, plans and programmes incorporated into national policy. They must also be given opportunities to participate in Government and the public and private sectors at the highest levels.

The new policy direction of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago for youth development speaks to the following:

  1. The creation of Youth-ships – Mentorship, Internship, Leadership and Entrepreneurship (MILE).
  2. Increased youth participation in all aspects of sustainable development of Trinidad and Tobago.
  3. Special emphasis on needs assessment to foster a greater understanding of the needs of young people and the provision of guidelines for positive youth development.
  4. a. Creating an enabling environment to stimulate youth micro-enterprise including the provision of grant funding and loan financing.
    b. Developing a culture of entrepreneurship among youth whereby young people are motivated/driven to own their own businesses, as well become job creators.
  5. Creating a mechanism for the respect and protection of the intellectual property rights of our young people.
  6. The involvement of the private sector, through fiscal incentives to increase the levels of youth employment.
  7. Collaborations with specialised partner agencies to:
    1. address the rehabilitation of young offenders coming out of institutions and/or the court system and
    2. develop a proper support system to facilitate the young people’s reintegration into society
  8. Youth engagement, youth involvement and youth participation in constructive activities at the community, district and village levels with specific exposure to training in civic responsibility.
  9. The development and implementation of social marketing interventions aimed at:
    1. highlighting the positive aspects of youth, including the use of young people who are engaged in positive initiatives
    2. Utilising youth-to-youth approaches to disseminate information on critical issues.
  10. Encouraging young people to be more politically minded and providing them with opportunities and
    facilities for dialogue on youth issues.
  11. a. The provision of Youth Facilities in communities/villages and regions of Trinidad and Tobago that will allow positive recreation and healthy lifestyles among youth.
    b. Ensuring that these Youth Facilities in communities/villages and regions give youth a safe space to socialise while receiving coaching, counselling and acquiring information on civic responsibility.

The Ministry of Youth Development and National Service, with over a dozen Agencies, Divisions and Statutory Boards under its remit, remains steadfast in its thrust to work collectively and cohesively with all stakeholders, to realise our unifying objective and to best serve all citizens of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, particularly the youth.

National Pride:

The Ministry of Youth Development and National Service (MYDNS) is focused on developing civic-minded citizens, driven by an enthusiasm for national service, through a dynamic, customer oriented, policy driven organization that brings all stakeholder together for a better quality of life and nation pride.

Each citizen will have an opportunity to utilize our e-platform to register as a volunteer in any area of service, based on skills and resources, to provide guidance for the professional or social growth of our nation’s youths; or as mentors to offer emotional support and instill positive values to up-lift the vulnerable.

The basis for this strategic direction will be formalized after nationwide consultation which will be grounded in the tenets of:

  • Honesty in daily activities
  • Respect for Women
  • Demonstration of manhood
  • Nurturing of Children
  • Support for Senior Citizens



Wealth Creation:

The MYDNS is also mandated to nurture the Nation’s youth into leading creative and productive lifestyle through the incubation and development of culture for entrepreneurship. By strengthening the indigenous financial sectors including the Cooperatives and Financial Societies, the Ministry will encourage the growth of small, medium and micro enterprises as attainable options for wealth creation.
