THROUGH the United States (US) Agency for International Development (USAid), the US government supported 70 barangay (village) leaders in Quezon City in crafting new project proposals to address the unique conditions of out-of-school youth (OSY) in their communities.

The US Embassy in the Philippines said barangay leaders composed of local government officials, youth council members, and leaders of local community organizations completed the six-month 'Executive Course for Barangay Leaders on System Delivery Support for OSY' conducted from November 2021 to April 2022.
