Its aim was to provide services to youth and student organizations by training youth leaders, publication of education materials, coordination of the various activities of CPA-affiliated youth organizations, etc. Overcoming limitations in financial and material resources, the Youth Commission modestly contributed to the overall advance of CPA at a crucial period when people's organizations were under heavy attack from the military and from other government agencies and pseudo-non government organizations.

In its Congress in 1994, the CPA adopted a resolution creating the Commission on Organizing, to give emphasis on the overall need to strengthen and rebuild peoples organizations devastated by attacks from the military and from internal weaknesses. Thus, the Youth Commission was dissolved, as the Commission on Organizing was to be directly responsible in ensuring coordination of the various efforts to strengthen the peoples organizations, including those of the youth and students. In its place, the CPA Youth Center was formed which is directly under the supervision of the Commission on Organizing. 

After six years, the work of the Youth Center flourished.  It was able to expand to different student and youth organizations not only in the Cordillera Region but also in Ilocos.  With this development, the CPA decided to reestablish the Youth Commission in order to meet the growing demands of organizing and educating the youth.
