COMMUNITY EXTENSIONS SERVICES OFFICE
The Community Extension Program of ISAP is dedicated to promoting community development through education, skills training, and outreach initiatives. Through the active involvement of students, faculty, and staff, the institution extends its knowledge, resources, and expertise to address the needs of partner communities and contribute to their growth and well-being. Guided by the values of service, leadership, and social responsibility, the program fosters meaningful partnerships and community engagement activities that empower individuals, strengthen local capacities, and support sustainable development.
Objectives
- Provide professional and community service that would respond to the economic, political, socio- cultural aspects of a person’s life;
- Establish people’s organization that would seek to empower themselves and become responsible and productive citizens; and
- Build linkages and coordinate with non- government, government agencies and local government units in order to complement and supplement each other’s services and resources for the welfare of the target beneficiaries and partner communities.
PROFILE
The Community Extension Services Office serves as the coordinating center for all extension, outreach, and community engagement programs of ISAP. It oversees the planning, implementation, and monitoring of projects and activities that address the needs of partner communities through education, service, and collaboration. The office supports the participation of students, faculty, staff, and academic departments in community-based initiatives while fostering partnerships with government agencies, private organizations, and other stakeholders. It works closely with the institution's offices and departments to ensure the effective delivery of extension services and the successful implementation of community development programs.
FRAMEWORK
The extension is a public service work by an academic unit, faculty, staff, and students, individually or as a group. This function of an institution is a contribution to achieving excellence in social, and public service, especially the under-served sectors. The extension generates, validates, and applies knowledge that can enrich instruction and research. Therefore, to come up with a good program plan and become effective in the implementation and be guided in the operation of the extension program, standards must be significantly observed where extensionists must tail.
