ABSTRACT

The objective of this research is to describe how youth participate in different kinds of
community activities during a pandemic. The research will be conducted in different barangays
or communities. The data was collected through a survey questionnaire. The findings show that
the youth conduct different community activities to help those who are in need due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. In the community activities, the youth implement different activities,
namely a community pantry for those people who have no money to provide food and necessities
for their families, providing plants for the plantitos and plantitas, and organizing different
contests for the youth, such as a poster and slogan making contest and a mobile games
tournament. The youth perceived community activities positively and determined that they were
one of the most effective ways to get rid of boredom and help those people who were suffering
from anxiety and depression. The biggest challenge overcome by the youth is the need for more
time to learn and adapt to this new situation where they must prioritise everyone’s health due to
the virus. Apart from that, participating in this community activity will help others and also you
to avoid stress and anxiety.
