This study assessed the feasibility, functionality, and community demand for the proposed Basak Teen Center in Barangay Basak, Lapu-Lapu City, using empirical survey data as the primary basis for planning and validation. A quantitative descriptive research design was employed through a structured survey administered to 378 youth respondents aged 15–30. A 7-point Likert scale measured perceived need, service importance, willingness to participate, and overall feasibility. Weighted means, frequency distributions, and percentage analyses were computed to determine demand intensity and service prioritization.

Findings reveal exceptionally strong community endorsement. The perceived need for a Teen Center obtained a weighted mean of 6.58 (Strongly Agree), while the overall feasibility index reached 6.34 (Highly Feasible). Functionality indicators yielded an average weighted mean of 6.41 (Very Important). Counseling and psychosocial support ranked highest (M = 6.72), followed by information and education services (M = 6.60) and referral linkages (M = 6.51). Willingness to participate recorded a mean of 6.22 (Agree), with 72% of respondents expressing intention to visit the facility. Additionally, 75% demonstrated willingness to use the study area—classified as a Must-Be feature—while 77% indicated willingness to recommend the center to peers. Notably, 61% expressed willingness to volunteer as peer educators.

Survey data confirm high social acceptability, strong projected utilization, and functional alignment between proposed services and documented youth priorities. The Must-Be classification of the air-conditioned study area with Wi-Fi establishes it as a baseline requirement for sustained engagement. Consistently elevated scores across need, functionality, and participation dimensions substantiate operational viability and anticipated developmental impact. Empirical evidence demonstrates that the proposed Teen Center is both strategically necessary and community-endorsed, warranting immediate implementation.
