challenge our positive dispositions. Let us not be disheartened, because we have the
means to overcome it – you have that in you! Embark on this journey of overcoming
your weaknesses and optimizing your strengths in transforming into a better version of
yourself!

The Importance of Community Development Projects

If we give the learners the opportunity to take an active role in some community
development projects and programs, we are giving them an avenue to hone their academic
and life skills, and at the same time, a chance to create a positive impact to the society,
making life better to all the members of the community.

Along with the act of serving the community, there are benefits that learners can enjoy
while engaging in these activities:

1. Self-Satisfaction. Participating community service especially when you are

interested with the program can help you feel good about yourself because you are
reaching out and helping others.
2. Social Responsibility. Engaging oneself to any community services can let a
learner be more aware on one’s role and responsibility in their community. It
increases the chance of camaraderie among the people in the community while living
in harmony.
3. Enhancement of Personal Knowledge: Exposure to community service can lead to
enhancement of oneself especially their interpersonal and communication skills while
gaining and growing from their experience.

Different Community and Youth Development Projects

The following are just some of the different community and youth development
projects that you can organize that will surely create a positive impact in our society:

1. Feeding program – Apparently malnutrition is still a major problem in the world,

more so in our country. It is a heartbreaking fact that there are families that struggle
to feed their kids with healthy meals. Organizing a feeding program in depressed
area in your community would be of great help, particularly if you would do it
regularly and monitor its impact to the weights and nutrition level of the children.

2. Gift-giving program –Gift-giving is one community development projects you can do

to make other people happy, particularly those who are suffering with illness in
hospitals, the grandparents in the elderly care centers and the street children. We
can never tell how great the positive impact it will bring to this world when we do
such simple act of kindness.

3. Tree planting –Tree planting project helps transplant trees in their permanent
position. This activity will foster environmental stewardship among learners and help
the community to restore and protect its natural resources.

4. Clean and green drive –A community service of cleaning the streets, planting trees
and promoting the urban gardening in cities, would really contribute to the protection
of environment, and more comfortable and sustainable living.

9
 5. Mga Laro ng Lahi – Nowadays, seldom that we see children playing the traditional
games of our country called as “Mga Laro ng Lahi.” These games include the
following: Agawan-base; Dama; Karera ng Sako; Langit-lupa; Luksong-baka;
Patintero; Piko; Tumbang preso; Tsato/syato and a lot more. Sponsoring an activity
like this will not only stimulate the mental and physical aspect of the children, but it
will also promote the Filipino culture when it comes to children’s games.

Volunteerism and Self-Empowerment

In organizing a community development project, volunteerism and self-empowerment are

both important contributory factors for it to become successful. According to Merriam-
Webster Dictionary, volunteerism is the act of doing volunteer work in community service.
Volunteerism fosters compassion and cooperation for a greater cause. It is about sacrificing
your time and effort for the benefits of many. For us to help others and contribute to the
community, we need first to empower ourselves by understanding our own strengths and
weaknesses and making positive choices for our own betterment. Thereby, self-
empowerment is about maximizing our strengths to do something great for our own growth.
Once we see the value and cultivate in ourselves both volunteerism and self-empowerment,
then and only then we can significantly impact our society through some community
development programs and projects.

Pointers for a Successful Community Project Development

Community service as an integral part of Homeroom Guidance Program is an

opportunity for your learners to build their character and develop their academic knowledge
and skills, making it relevant to help other people and improve the community. Granting that
community services participated by SHS learners will be approved during the new normal
there are pointers to be followed to ensure the success of this activity. These are:

1. Plan. In the previous session, the learners planned how they will organize and
implement their Community Development Project. The key is in the details. Know the
ins and outs of the activity that you want to accomplish. If you planned to have a tree
planting campaign, find out the best kind of tree to plant in your community and
identify the place that you want to rehabilitate ahead of time.

2. Follow the school’s protocol when it comes to obtaining approval for this activity.
Also, secure parent’s permit, so that parents or guardians will be notified about this
activity and give their consent to the participation of their children. Make the parents
informed about the purpose of the activity, which is to immerse the learners in taking
active role in the community.

3. Carry out the activities according to the set plan and objectives. If you expect to finish
the community development activity within fifteen days, stick to it. However, when it
comes to community service, unexpected events may happen, so be flexible and
prepare for some changes in your program.

4. Give some special considerations and adjust your program. There are times that the
objectives of the project will not be met in just one day event, just like a feeding
program that needs to be done for a certain period and be monitored to check the
progress of the participants. This kind of program needs extra planning and support
from the school and local officials for the funding.

10
 5. Prior and during the community service, remind the learners about the following:
a. Dress appropriately. If the activity is a tree planting, they are expected to
wear light and breathable clothing and appropriate footwear like boots. If you
intend to organize a feeding program, see to it that they wear Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) like apron, hairnet, mask, and gloves while
preparing the food.
b. Be enthusiastic and take pride in the tasks.
c. Observe proper decorum in dealing with other people. Remember that you
are there to help.

6. Instruct the learners to observe and document their experience while conducting the
community service activity.

7. After the completion of this school community project, the learners will accomplish a
narrative report with the following format:

The Community Development Project Plan

Before you would embark on a particular community outreach program or

livelihood project for community development as program coordinators, you should
first conduct a need assessment such as survey, focus group discussion, panel
discussion or community mapping for the community to find out its current situation
and problems or issues that need to be solved. An effective community development
project needs a thorough planning.

In this activity, you will work on your Community Development Project Plan in
preparation for your actual involvement with these activities.

11
 A School-Community Development Project Plan is a tool that can help you to
determine the needs of your community, identify the pressing problem or dilemma
community members are experiencing, find resources, set timelines and measures
of success of the program.

Direction:
1. In a clean sheet of papers, work on this output have it checked by your
adviser afterwards.
2. Choose a project that you want to propose for your community and answer

VIII. Reflection

As Arts and Design SHS students, it is indeed liberating to know the great things
that we can accomplish to improve our school community. With our collaboration as a
class, we were able to convert the vacant corner in our school that is used to be a
neglected area and place for loitering students into a beautiful, relaxing, and conducive
area for learning as a School Reading Park. The school community development plan
became a very helpful tool to accomplish this project. Our specialized knowledge and
skills in visual designing was utilized fully when we painted the walls to cover the graffiti
and vandalisms with beautiful murals.

We felt that our collaboration and communication skills, patience, perseverance,

and workmanship became important factors as well for the success of this project.
