The active participation of the youth gives a revitalizing image in the development of each youth and of
the community. The different avenues given to the youth in the decision-making process of the
government develops the youth themselves, leading to empowerment, competence, and connection
(Collins, Augsberger, & Gecker, 2016). This would mean that the more youth are engaged in the
community-building process, the more they are empowered and become actively participating in the
socio-political aspect of their life as youths. Even the 1987 Philippine Constitution in Article II, Section 13
recognizes the vital role of the youth in nation-building to encourage their involvement in public and
civic affairs. Moreover, this participation of the youth may enhance interest and inclination to engage in
community service, political actions, or other public engagements (Augsberger, Collins, & Gecker, 2017).
Thus, giving more emphasis on the participation of the youths in the government processes and
community-building is hitting two birds in one stone because the community develops alongside with
the promotion of the patriotism of the youth (Rosales R.J.J, 2023).

One of the objectives of SK is to help and improve academic performances of youth and avoiding them

Sport participation and exercise practice are considered to be beneficial for mental status, yielding an
improved mood and better quality of life. On the other hand, good mental fitness is thought to lead to
better physical status and sport performance ( Fossati, 2021). To help Youth mold their skills and be
athletically inclined, Sk has various of trainings implented to enhance and give opportunities to them to
be known for what sports they played and for their achievements to be acknowledged. Sk simsiman
