Abstract

Community extension is an important program that is organized by schools in order to help in the development of communities within the areas where the school or any specific learning institution is inhabited. The Arellano University Community Extension & Development Office serves as the outreach and extension arm of the university. Its main objective is to ensure in its adopted community that livelihood programs are existent, flourishing and can very well support families who are not well-off. Because of this, the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) has chosen Barangay Masalipit in Bulacan. This research aims to determine the sustainability of CAS programs so that the people living in this community may be helped in living a decent and dignified life, a life that can someday be given a chance to progress and develop so that they too may be able to help more. It has been found out that most of the CAS programs can be sustainable such as Literacy, Wellness, Environmental, Behavioral programs. This means that the following are sustainable. However, the Legal Awareness and History Society are found to be in a lower rank which means that the program can still be improved or retrofitted.

Summary

Introduction

2. Ease of Use. As per mandate of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the school’s tri-focal function which includes development of Research Extension services, Method of Instruction, and Community Extension Services are three important areas that the school must focus on to become a totally functioning institution of the country and to adhere in the government’s campaign of holistic development by its people. The cooperation of the people from the community, the trust of parents to community officials such as daycare and social workers, including volunteers and other important groups and organizations that must be completed are some of the much-needed works to be addressed upon
