We define youth empowerment as a process that encourages children and teenagers to
take control of their life. They do so by first addressing their situation and then taking steps to
enhance their access to resources and change their awareness through their beliefs, values, and
attitudes.
According to Philosophy, the following initiatives address concerns connected to political
involvement and youth empowerment: (1) National Youth Commission, (2) Philippine Youth
Development Plan, and (3) Sangguniang Kabataan. The National Youth Commission
emphasizes providing leadership in the formulation of policies, as well as the setting of priorities
and the direction of all youth promotion and development programs and activities; encouraging
broad and active participation of the youth in all governmental and non-governmental programs,
projects, and activities affecting them; harnessing and developing the full potential of the youth
as partners in nation-building; and supplementing government assistance. The state also
acknowledges the importance of kids in nation-building and will encourage and defend their
physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being.
The Philippine Youth Development Plan provides an objective method of analyzing the
position of Filipino youth, and it can inform and enhance the design and execution of youth
development policies in the Philippines. And the final existent program, the Sangguniang
Kabataan, must promulgate resolutions required to carry out the objectives of the youth in the
Barangay in line with the relevant provisions of this code. Initiate initiatives to improve the
members' social, political, economic, cultural, intellectual, moral, spiritual, and physical growth.
Hold fund-raising activities, the proceeds of which shall be tax-exempt and shall accrue to the
general fund of the Sangguniang Kabataan; provided, however, that in the appropriation thereof,
the specific purpose for which such activity was held shall first be satisfied; and establish such
bodies or committees as it may deem necessary to effectively carry out its programs and
activities.
Youth empowerment has the potential to significantly reduce poverty rates. Skill
development is one of the cornerstones of empowering adolescents. When a young person is
endowed with basic skills, he or she may use them to feed themselves, help others, and even
invest for the future, benefiting the country economically.
