Baguio is a highly-urbanized city with 65.5% of its population below the age of 30. In 2022, the Baguio City Council approved the ‘Youth Welfare and Empowerment Code’ to ensure young people’s participation in government decisions by promoting leadership development. Cordilleran Youth Centre (CYC), our local implementation partner in the city, is committed to youth empowerment and community development and is focused on promoting social justice, human rights, and the welfare of indigenous and young people. CYC will reach Baguio’s youth by partnering with schools and community youth groups.
