Tondo Youth Pataas

Six Years of Transforming Lives.

Tondo Youth Pataas (TYP) is a youth-led community organization working to create meaningful opportunities for young people and communities in Tondo.

Since 2020, we have been building pathways from education to employment, leadership, skills development, and community transformation.

Why Tondo Youth Pataas exists.

We believe that young people should not have to leave their community to find opportunity. TYP works to bring education, skills, employment pathways, leadership development, and community opportunities closer to the young people and families we serve.

TYP in Action

The people behind the numbers.

Every program begins with people — young people, volunteers, partners, educators, community leaders, and supporters.

Building pathways. Changing lives.

Six years in, the work continues. We are building sustainable pathways from education to employment, leadership, and community transformation — one young person, one opportunity, and one partnership at a time.
