The Youth Alliance for Community Care, Environmental Sensitivity, and Sustainability (Youth ACCESS) is a youth-led, non-profit, and community-driven organization rooted in the province of Albay. It was founded on the belief that meaningful and lasting change begins at the grassroots level - with empowered youth, strong values, and a collective spirit of service. Youth ACCESS exists to mobilize and equip the youth to become leaders and active contributors in addressing the most pressing challenges in their communities. The organization focuses on key areas such as health and nutrition, education, environmental protection, livelihoods, gender and development, and community services. It engages in a wide range of initiatives - from health missions and educational outreach to environmental campaigns and research-based community programs. Central to Youth ACCESS is its commitment to volunteerism, leadership, and sustainability. Through various programs and partnerships, it fosters a sense of civic responsibility, discipline, and collaboration among young people, young professionals, and mentors. The organization also creates inclusive spaces for skills development, policy involvement, and innovative solutions, especially in underserved and vulnerable areas. Youth ACCESS operates with a clear mission: to cultivate a community among the youth that embraces the spirit of service and actively contributes to building a more sustainable and inclusive society. Its vision is to empower communities through innovative programs and strong youth leadership.
