The Watershed Management Youth Council (WMYC) is the youth sector of the Watershed Management Coordinating Council (WMCC) which aims to promote watershed management advocacy among the Davao City student leaders and advocates.
Formed in 2000 by a group of local student leaders under the supervision of the Davao City Water District, the WMYC has grown to become a community which made a considerable impact in the city’s watershed management advocacy especially among its youth.
WMYC envisions having “young people nurturing and sustaining the watersheds of Davao City as the life source of the good of all” and therefore looks for ways to echo its advocacy to youth leaders from various high schools and colleges in the city to gain more support for the fulfillment of its cause.
Some of its regular activities are the Annual Ecological and Environmental Camps, Youth Congress, Eco-tours, Information, Education, and Communication Campaign, Tree Planting, Growing, and Parenting Activities, Annual Leadership trainings, and the Millennium Development Goals Interpretative Dance Competition. These activities aim to open the WMYC’s advocacy to more youth advocates who are willing to hear and support the group’s cause.
Because of its noble cause, the WMYC is supported by a number of Government Organizations (GO), Non-Government Organizations (NGO), private individuals, and various advocates of watershed management.
The WMYC has been consistently fighting for its advocacy on watershed management since its formation until this very moment and will definitely continue for the protection of not only the city’s watersheds but also the hope of the future generations.*
