The Center for Students and Co-Curricular Affairs is a response to popular calls for active youth participation in nation-building, as in the case of other government department which organized their own youth centers or offices, and an innovation in the DepEd system in order to improve its delivery of services particularly in terms of youth and students affairs.

As a whole, the Center takes charge of youth and student-related activities that are not covered by existing Bureaus or Centers in the Department. It coordinates with appropriate DepEd officers for all programs and projects that it implements. It is also the focal point of the Department on the various youth empowerment and development efforts of the national government. As such, it actively and establishes linkages with different government agencies, youth groups and youth-serving organization nationwide.

Committed to advance holistic and quality education for all, it focuses on addressing problems, issues, gaps, and concerns of youth and students outside the formal classroom atmosphere, which are considered extra or co-curricular in nature.

The Center is under the Office of the Secretary proper and supervised by the Undersecretary and Assistant Secretary for Programs and Projects.
