Dear fellow youth and student leaders,
Mabuhay!
We are happy to announce that the National Anti-Poverty Commission Youth and Students Sector (NAPC-YS) is now accepting applications to be part of the NAPC Youth and Students Sectoral Assembly (NYSSA). The first assembly will be held this October 2014 in Metro Manila.
Being part of the NYSSA enables you to take part in the process of selecting the Sectoral Council which will represent your issues and concerns on poverty-alleviation and at the same time ensure the implementation of the Social Reform Agenda (SRA).
NYSSA members are also tasked to ensuring that young people’s stake is being heard in the government’s numerous programs and policies.
As the outgoing Sectoral Representative for the Youth and Students in NAPC and in behalf of the Technical Working Committee, I would like to invite your organization to apply and to help fellow young people realize their goals and potentials as relevant stakeholders in the fight against poverty.
Sincerely,
