CLIENT: JOANA MAE

The client, is a 16-year-old resident of Prk. Paradise, Tambler G.S.C. She has
spent grown up in Paradise after moving there from Prk. Balunto Labangal.
Despite owning a house in Paradise, her family lives as informal settlers and
they are fully aware of their situation. Our client is currently studying as a
Grade 10 student at Banisil National High School, and she is doing
exceptionally well academically. She is also an active participant in
extracurricular activities such as singing and dancing. However, despite her
achievements, she remains disengaged from her community and shows little
interest in what's happening around her.

This disengagement is a significant problem because it deprives her of

opportunities to contribute positively to her community and access programs
and services offered by the barangay. Even though there have been initiatives
for community engagement, especially involving the youth, she chooses not to
participate, seeing it as a waste of time. Unfortunately, this means that she is
missing out on potential benefits and opportunities that active participation
has to offer.

Moreover, the client's disinterest in community engagement is a reflection of a

larger issue of disconnection and apathy among the youth in the community.
Without active participation, she and others like her may fail to realize their
potential to effect positive change and address issues affecting their
community. Additionally, by not engaging, she may be missing out on
valuable opportunities for personal growth, skill development, and social
connections that active participation in community activities can provide.

To address this problem, it need proper intervention and motivate on the client
and other disengaged youth to actively participate in community initiatives and
activities. Providing opportunities for meaningful involvement and highlighting
the benefits of community engagement can help foster a sense of belonging
and responsibility among youth, empowering them to contribute positively to
their community and access available programs and services.
