The Cobabeng Youth Organization is a community-based organization. It started years ago however; it became silent since the leaders started on their jobs and career. Pandemic came, youths were on a modular learning and inactive for outside activities. Thus, a concerned citizen asked help from Ms. Jobelle A. Batanes to recreate an organization for the youths of Cobabeng in order to create movements and more learning amidst the restrictions. Moreover, the first meeting was eagerly attended by the youth which was held on November 2020 at Bantas Suanding Elementary School. One agenda of the said meeting was the recreation of the organization and election of officers. Thus, the organization was named Cobabeng Youth Organization with Ms. Jobelle A. Batanes as the organization's adviser and Mr. Jeffrey Paterno as the first president. The organization had then started activities such as monthly clean up drive, seminars on public speaking, partnerships, sport-related activities and mental health seminars. Thus, the organization had been interviewed by PIA Cordillera for having productive movements amidst the pandemic.
