Youth engagement is essential for the development of a resilient community. However, on the basis of their level of engagement, young people can be categorized from the most to the least involved. In Barangay District III of Babatngon, Leyte, there are 548 youths residing. Despite this, the majority of youth-focused volunteer organizations have fewer than 30 members, while others are inactive throughout the year. With this, the researcher seeks to identify the reasons of youth disengagement in the aforementioned barangay. Five individuals who had never taken part in youth-related activities were chosen through purposive sampling. Furthermore, the qualitative investigation employed an explanatory case study methodology, employed semi-structured interview. Data were analysed thematically. The findings revealed that the reasons of inactive youth engagement are lack of interest, no invitation, lack of self-confidence, lack of time and financial constraint. Thus, the researcher recommended the youth to join youth organizations and getting involved with community activities. Youth groups should motivate other youth individuals to join them in participating in the community. Parents should encourage their children to participate and the local government unit of should devise projects that support both various youth activities in order to motivate youth members to have community involvement.
