          More than 200 youth leaders, Task Force on Youth Dev’t members, Phil. Armies & LGU/Brgy. Officials gathered in 3-day Youth Leadership Camp to forge a new vision for Mansalay.

The youths (15-30 years old), who came from diverse age groups, sectors and organizations were there to practice teamwork and cooperation, learn about governance, capacity building, DRRM, reproductive health, diversity of their peers, and develop the leadership skills they will need to be the future

leaders.

local governance. Special thanks to Commissioner Perci Cendana of National Youth Commision. #YLC2014 #MansalayYouth #kabataan #PagAsaPagbabago
