The Sangguniang Kabataan Open University is managed by a network of content providers that have a strong track record in development work in various sectors.
The Sangguniang Kabataan is an offshoot of the KB or the Kabataang Barangay (Village Youth) which was abolished when the Local Government Code of 1991 was enacted.
It also initiates policies, programs and projects for the development of youth in their respective political territories.
The Kagawads approve resolutions of the Sanggunian and appropriates the money allotted to the council, a share in the revenue of the Barangay.
All of these ex officio members automatically chair the respective councils' committees on youth and sports development.
