For the Summer season the Local Government of General Santos has a lot of offerings for its young people through its Summer Youth Festival. Below is the report of a youth who represented Apopong in the youth conference.

April 07,2014 marked a history in General Santos City as youth from different barangays, schools and other sectors gathered together for the very first time in a Youth Conference held at KCC Convention and Events Center.Four (4) from these delegates were from the Barangay Apopong. Ma. Aliyana Rizol Supilanas and Jomarie Olarte represented Barangay. Apopong Youth Club (BAYC) while Jella Camille Delos Angeles and Fe Alcordo represented the Creative Active and Talented Teenagers (CATT) of District Sto. Niño .In this conference, certain issues and problems of the youth for today were discussed by the speaker. After which, the participants were grouped to further discuss top issues and concerns for todays youth to come-up with the developmental policy that addresses with the youth matters. The participants presented different solutions and recommendations on how to resolve or even just lessen the issues where youth are involved. At the end of this gathering, they came-up with the same idea which is to create a website for the youth (GenSan's Youth Network) where they can raise their voices and at the same time, share their opinions and ideas.An Ad hoc committee was temporarily created and four drafters volunteered to make the Constitution and By-Laws (CBL) which will be presented in the General Assembly on April 09. 2014 in the Youth Convergence at Lagao Gym for the presentation and acceptance for the youth plan of action for 2014-2015.
