NYC Holds Local Awards Finals

The National Youth Commission is gearing up for the judging of semifinalists for the Search for The Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations.

After the field validation of short listed entries all over the country, the Area Finals will be held at the National Youth Commission head office in Quezon City for the National Capital Region and Luzon areas, the University of San Carlos in Cebu City for the Visayas area and Ateneo de Davao for the Mindanao area.

The finalists for each area are a few steps away from being declared as one of the Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations for this year.

The NYC together with the Office of Senator Kiko Pangilinan hopes that the search will serve to recognize, reward and encourage the outstanding achievements of youth organizations in the service of their communities and the country.

By recognizing the contributions of these groups, TAYO emphasizes how unity and the collective effort among the youth promote nation building while setting a high standard for the kind of service young Filipinos provide.

The TAYO covers the accomplishments of organizations from the following categories: Business, Livelihood and Entrepreneurship; Capability-Building and Education; Communications and Media; Community Development; Culture and the Arts; Environmental Protection and Conservation; Information Technology and Public Health.
