| Date Issued | February 2019 |
| Abstract | This study is an advocacy research focusing on the nature and gains of youth participation in community governance. This research describes the capabilities, roles, and contributions of the youth as well as the structures, processes, and strategies that have been established and utilized to strengthen youth participation. It also presented factors that facilitate and hinder youth participation in community affairs. It is a qualitative research through case study presentations wherein combination of documents review, focused—group discussions, and key informant interview were used to triangulate data gathered from four (4) youth organizations. Validation sessions were also conducted to confirm the findings and discuss directions for their future endeavors. Results of the study show that the youth exert efforts in serving their communities. They have proven that they are capable partners in community governance but their participation is limited to planning and implementation of youth programs, projects, and activities. The structure for youth participation has been established but the youth are rarely engaged in community policy discussions. In general, this study strengthens the advocacy for positive youth development as it confirms that the youth’s exposure to community governance contribute to their personal growth and in achieving community cohesion and development. It also helps in facilitating the development of their feelings as productive members of the community who could contribute in addressing youth needs and concerns. On the other hand, the youth also experienced difficulties in their participation in civic affairs. But despite the challenges, they continuously work within the structure and do their share to participate and serve their communities. |
