The Youth Leadership Summit is one of the Philippine Army's major programs on youth sectors. It started on 2008 in Central Mindanao. It develops the youth to be partners-stakeholders in "winning the peace" in Central Mindanao.
Its purposes are to transform the youth sectors to be more productive and responsible members of the society and to develop youth's characters, attitudes and individual leadership.
The objectives are to enhance leadership potentials, to inculcate awareness on the threat to national security, to develop strong sense of patriotism and to promote good citizenship.
The Youth Leadership Summit gives premium on the enhancement of youth leadership skills and their active participation in civic works being implemented by Local Government Units/Local Government Academies and Non-governmental Organization. This program also aims to encourage the youth from all walks of life to become active collaborators in achieving peace and development catering issues of the youth sector in the area.
