Sixty youth leaders in Nueva Ecija have been trained on how to encourage their out-of-school peers go back to school.

The three-week training initiated by the U.S. Peace Corps and the Department of Social Welfare and Development concluded on Dec. 3, the US Embassy in the Philippines said Thursday, Dec. 9.

The sessions are a core part of the 4Ps conditional cash transfer program and are typically conducted by DSWD staff. The U.S. Peace Corps and DSWD are piloting the new peer-to-peer approach, with the goal of more effectively reaching out-of-school youth and getting them back to school.

The Regional Youth Development Training of Trainers is a pilot initiative of the U.S. Peace Corps and DSWD Field Office 3 to supplement existing 4Ps support to youth not attending school, and is funded jointly with the United States Agency for International Development.
