TAYO DEADLINE EXTENDED

The NEW DEADLINE OF SUBMISSION OF ENTRIES for this year's
TEN ACCOMPLISHED YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS (TAYO) is now AUGUST 7, 2009.

This was announced by the organizers as numerous school-based organizations and offices of student affairs have requested that the deadline be extended due to the school's implementation of safety measures against the A(H1N1) virus in colleges and universities at the start of the school year.

The TAYO Search began in 2003 with the idea of recognizing the achievements of youth groups and the outstanding innovations brought about by their collective action in their schools and communities.

TAYO awardees are selected through projects implemented by the youth groups in the areas of education, livelihood and entrepreneurship, community service, technology, health, media, arts and culture, and the environment.  

Entry forms and the application briefer format are still available for download through the TAYO Awards Foundation website (www.tayoawards.net) and the National Youth Commission website (youth.net.ph). 

TAYO 7 is presented by Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines , and is organized and implemented by the TAYO Awards Foundation, the Office of Senator Kiko Pangilinan and the National Youth Commission.
