Hundreds of youth leaders gather to attend the 4th General Assembly of Tagum Cooperative Youth Laboratory Cooperative on March 25, 2019 at VJR Auditorium, National Highway, Tagum City.

Leading the flock is Laureta Elementary School with a total of one hundred and three students accompanied by their parents and school coordinators.

The participants were inspired and educated by highly capable speakers from the private and public partners of TCYLC, namely: Dr. Elma R. Oguis, Regional Director of the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) XI and Dr. Josephine L. Fadul, Schools Division Superintendent of the Department of Education – Davao del Norte Division. Youth leaders were also inspired to advocate financial literacy as discussed by Dir. Rosalina S. Argent and Chief Executive Officer Juirs D. Perez.
