Barangay Youth Council is the governing body of the Youth Assembly that is organized in every barangay, which is the smallest unit of local government in the Philippines. Its primary objective is to enhance the development of the youth in the country. The Council promulgates resolutions necessary to carry out the objectives of the youth. Among the activities initiated by Councils around the country are tree planting, clean-up drives for rivers and lakes, waste segregation, and the like. Involvement in these activities has helped promote environment consciousness among the youth in the Philippines.
