The main objectives of the study were to examine the extent to which the youth have and can still contribute their strength meaningfully to the development of their communities. Also the study tried to find out the modalities of mobilizing the youths to take part actively in community self-help. Philosophy which was helped to reduce the high rate of youth’s migration to urban areas for search of social amenities. The work will evaluate the youth contributions so far towards the development of this area. Four research questions and four null hypotheses were posed and formulated respectively to guide the study. The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The related literature to the study was reviewed under four main headings namely: conceptual framework, theoretical framework, Review of related empirical studies and summary of literature review. This study used a descriptive survey research design. A total of 500 registered youth members were used as sample size for the study.

The Research questions were analyzed using mean and standard deviation while the null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using t-test. The results of the study revealed among others that the youth organizations to a great extent participate in the planning and implementation of community development projects in Oredo L.G.A, Edo state. Poor leadership, inadequate fund raising, mismanagement of funds, the leaders, low level of education of youths, lack of commitment in project initiative by some youths, lack of empowerment by the community members and inadequate monitoring of projects for successful implementation are the factors that affect the participation of youth organizations in planning and implementation of community development projects in Oredo L.G.A, Edo state. The result also revealed that there is no significant difference between the mean ratings of male and female members of youth organizations on the extent youth organizations participate in the planning of community development projects in Oredo L.G.A, Edo state.
