Youth participation in governance is a powerful and functional strategy in
achieving national development. It has changed the traditional approach in managing
our society by adults. The SK serves as a platform for empowering young people in the
Philippines. This is realized through the enactment of the SK Reform Act of 2015 that
affirms the concrete role of the Filipino youth in nation-building. T
hrough this law, the
SK has been reinvigorated as it is given mechanisms and opportunities to achieve
meaningful contribution in government. To better guide our young leaders in the spirit
of this policy, this operations manual was crafted. Specifically, this framework of SK
actions intends to:
General Objective:
Guide SK officials and relevant stakeholders in the recognition and performance
of duties, functions, and responsibilities as youth leaders in the community. Provide a clear, precise, and concise process flow that will guide SK
officials in the effective and efficient execution of day-to-day
management of affairs;
b. Enumerate duties, obligations, and responsibilities of an SK official
along with the expected documentation to enable proper actions;
c. Articulate principles and practices that SK officials should know in
fulfilling mandated work;
d. Cultivate social, moral, ethical, and civic values among SK officials in
relating to relevant agencies and stakeholders.
