A Sangguniang Kabataan (abbreviated as SK; lit.ā'youth council') is a community council that represents youth in a barangay in the Philippines. They were put "on hold", but not abolished, prior to the 2013 barangay elections.[1] In January 2016, the Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Act was signed into law, which made changes to the SK and initially scheduled new elections for October 2016.[2] In March 2017, the elections were postponed to May 2018.[3]

The Sangguniang Kabataan is the successor of the Kabataang Barangay (KB; lit.ā'village youth') which was abolished by the Local Government Code of 1991. The author, Senator Aquilino Pimentel Jr. abolished it because of allegations that the organization faced.[5]
