National Youth Congress on Drug Abuse Prevention and Control

This annual three-day live in Congress is designed to provide an open and comfortable atmosphere for fun, real work and innovative strategic planning to address the drug problem in the respective localities of the youth participants. A team of anti-drug advocates and facilitators provide participants the opportunity for positive discussions/dialogues, structured learning activities, workshops, and inputs. The team approach is employed throughout the congress to foster teamwork, learning, camaraderie and harmonious relationship of youth delegates.

In 2012, 195 participants from different organizations nationwide who attended the 20th Youth Congress held in Dagupan City, duly hosted by the Local Government Unit of Dagupan, were added to the 2,735 youth leaders who have participated in the training since 2002.
