Youth Citizen Board
The Youth Citizen Board was held in the National Palace during February 2016, with the intention of finding a consensus among young Guatemalans that could result in a legal framework that, besides promoting public policies, could also guarantee the rights and obligations of young people. More than 45 Civil Society organizations participated in this panel, who debated and proposed agreements on amendments to the Law and the National Youth Secretariat, in order to encourage the final approval of Law 3896, which has not been approved yet.
