CYC serves as an educational, training, coordination and campaign center for both indigenous youth and non-indigenous youth advocates of indigenous rights. It organizes various avenues such as the project disaster preparedness and waste management to educate, train and mobilize the youth and children in the Cordillera for the protection of their indigenous land, natural resources, other forms of biodiversity in their communities and the revitalization of their indigenous culture based on indigenous framework and aspirations. It also expanded its youth network through its campaign – Youth Advocates for the Defense of the Environment and Culture (YtADEC).
