About the Foundation
A national youth platform working across Seychelles, for the youth, for the islands, for tomorrow.
A national platform for young Seychellois
The Tyler Nicholas Foundation is a youth-focused organisation working across Seychelles to help young people access opportunities, build skills and serve their communities. We believe that meaningful change begins when people choose to serve, create opportunities, and take responsibility for the communities around them.
We do three things. We find and verify opportunities, scholarships, internships, exchanges and more, and bring them together in one place. We run our own programmes in leadership, education, entrepreneurship and community service. And we build partnerships between young people, families, businesses, institutions and government.
The Foundation is still at the beginning of its journey, but our ambitions are significant. We are building something transparent, responsible and focused on real, measurable impact, a platform through which many people can contribute their ideas, skills, time and resources toward something larger than themselves.
Our mission
To empower young Seychellois with the opportunities, skills and support they need to learn, lead, serve and shape a better future.
Our vision
A Seychelles where every young person, on every island, has a fair chance to grow, contribute and lead.
Our values
The principles behind every programme, partnership and decision.
Youth first
Young people are not the future, they are the present. Everything starts with them.
Opportunity for all
From the smallest island to the capital, every young Seychellois deserves a fair chance.
Service & community
We grow stronger when we serve one another and the communities we belong to.
Transparency & responsibility
We hold ourselves accountable and act with honesty, care and integrity.
Partnership
Real change needs young people, families, business, institutions and government together.
Measurable impact
We focus on real needs and results we can see, not activity for its own sake.
Board & team
The Tyler Nicholas Foundation is guided by a Board of Directors responsible for governance, strategy and accountability, working alongside our Directors General who each lead one of our five pillars of work. Together they keep the Foundation transparent, responsible and focused on real, measurable impact for young people across Seychelles.
