Boombastic’s mission

Our Edu-Tainment program takes a radically different approach to youth entrepreneurship because we work to offer the young entrepreneurs of tomorrow engaging experiences that will shape them into purpose-driven, self-secured, and adaptable professionals with an entrepreneurial mindset.

The Boombastic approach

Our creative centre partners with organisers, stakeholders, business owners, government bodies, and other community members to create one-of-a-kind experiences. Boombastic is focused on community change and turning young people’s passions into action and meaningful change. That is the core purpose of our work for the island of Statia. Boombastic is an environment of self-discovery & self-development. We support young entrepreneurs as they look deep within themselves to achieve the “impossible”. At Boombastic we believe that the impossible becomes possible, when there are people that believe in one another. 

From networking to relaxation

Boombastic offers a relaxing, climate-controlled space for individuals to transition from work, to socialising to relaxation. Water installations, soft lighting, natural fixtures, and mood-lifting music all work together to create a peaceful and welcoming environment.

Co-working space

Coworking spaces are a great way for businesses and individuals to share ideas, strategies, and business advice. Located right at the centre of Statia’s town road, with its own indoor café, Boombastic offers an excellent working space for solo or group work.

Statian pride and identity

Boombastic pays homage to Statia and to the generations of artists and creatives whose shoulders we stand on. From the walk of fame showcasing names of local icons like Christine Flanders, to the cafeteria which honours their work with uniquely named dishes like a Carnival wrap and Festival sub. Boombastic celebrates their legacy and continues the work of carrying on our cultural heritage.

Social activities

The indoor and outdoor facilities at Boombastic can comfortably accommodate different groups during parallel activities. The venue is suitable for groups discussions, interactive activities, presentation-style meetings and more. Boombastic is an invitation to thinkers and creatives who need and benefit from peaceful and beautiful spaces to create and innovate.

I care Elderly Support

On an island in which many seniors face challenges that make it difficult to flourish, for seniors these unique challenges often take the form of physical and mental health issues, not knowing how you or your loved one will continue their day- to – day activities can cause stress. 

Due to unique challenges seniors may have trouble adjusting to the modern life change of technology which has rapidly taken over the world. 

We are passionately pursuing a world in which all seniors and their loved ones can enjoy more quality time and peace of mind. 

Here is why we believe our customer service and information Help desk can be a major support In guiding our young people. Our training will focus on professional customer service which will have our youngsters ready and able and provide assistance in the areas needed. 

Our skilled volunteers promote safety and provide friendly interactions by visiting seniors’ homes to perform simple home repairs, provide transportation, getting the seniors to the grocery store, Bank, Eutel, Stuco or to visit a family member or even a friend. Seeing how rapidly technology has grown, seniors may just not have been prepared and will need assistance in the new modern day tech world, downloading an app to the phone or installing a drive on the computer. Even read, write, or print a simple letter. 

Food with Hearts

The Food with heart programme is an initiative by Boombastic and other community partners to make healthy delicious meals available to teens and young adults during weekdays.

Over the years we have experienced many families on the island that live day to day, or many single parents stuck in the rush hour not being able to prepare a warm meal. Because of the various programs many can have a warm meal or breakfast. What about those that are not in a program? Or cannot afford to purchase one. We do as well realize that these meals provided by the various programs are the only meal these many receive for the day. 

Food with Heart offers daily a hot and fresh lunch from community food donations by our team of volunteers and staff. We welcome the community in an atmosphere of hospitality, comfort and support. By sharing a warm lunch five days a week, we create community togetherness. 

The reality of this impact relies on the generosity of our volunteers and donors. Without them, it would be impossible.

In the morning deli-style breakfasts complimented by teen’s creative twists on local and international breakfast options will be made available. This structure will continue into the afternoon with our lunch programme where we make a free or discounted lunch available for 100 teens and young adults per day. 

At Boombastic hospitality students are supported by local and regional experts in taking their culinary and customer services to the next level. Both programmes are made possible in collaboration with the GVP school’s 4th & 5th year hospitality students and with the partnership with the OLE.
