CWTS Module 2

Lesson 2
COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM

Community Outreach
Many hands make light work!
Introduction
The school and the community serve as alliances in national development. How can the school
administrators determine the parameters of this symbiotic relationship?
Good practice is based on sound theories. Any training of NSTP students must provide
for the field application of learned concepts, theories, and methods in the classroom experience.
This is very important for the development of skills. The development of a positive attitude
towards work and responsibilities may accrue result of extensive training in the school but are
further refined in the society.
In outreach programs for knowledge on the different components of the NSTP

specifically the CWTS, it is very practical if the students could be assigned to the place where
they are residing to enable them to deal with work conditions that are closest to the realities in
their areas.
The community activities are manned by well-trained NSTP Coordinators who are
expected to provide the necessary guidance and direction for the day-to-day activities of the
students as field counselors,
Hereunder are the course objectives so that the NSTP students can be guided on what to
do in the community.

Situational Analysis
In this stage, the participants in the program together with the NSTP Coordinator
assigned and the local community officials will hold a brainstorming session to decide on the
activities and projects that will be undertaken to answer the needs of the community. The
analysis should lead to project identification and formulation. This series of activities should be
planned ahead. Hence, the first step that should be taken into consideration after they have
settled down is to prepare a plan of work which will indicate the activities to be undertaken, date
of activity, the students who will undertake them and then collaboration with the local
government officials.
Implementation of the Community Project

other stakeholders is very important, Moreover, the following should be looked into:

of your activities from situational analysis, planning, and implementation to evaluation. Students'
activities/projects should be within the plans of the local government officials with which they
