UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF NSTP IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Lesson 1 I.

Intended Learning Outcomes At the end of this lesson, the learner will have 1. described the meaning and nature of community development in the context of NSTP-CWTS; 2. defined what community development is and describe different community development approaches; 3. enumerated the steps in community development organizing.

II.

General Instructions 1. Read the guide questions 2. Study the concept notes. Refer to materials cited for further understanding. 3. Study supplementary materials for additional information

III.

Guide questions Use this guide questions to understand fully the role of NSTP in Community Development. 1. What is the role of NSTP in community development? 2. Why NSTP important to the community? 3. What is your understanding about NSTP and its component? 4. In what way can the NSTP help the youth to be of service to the nation?

IV.

Concept Notes To promote and protect the physical, mental, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being of the youth. To inculcate patriotism and nationalism in the youth. To encourage their involvement in public and civic affairs. To identify their role as change agents in the community. Let us define first community development . . . Community development is a process where people come together to take action on what's important to them. At its heart, community development is rooted in the belief that all people should have access to health, wellbeing, wealth, justice and opportunity. It recognizes that some people, some groups and some communities are excluded and oppressed by the way society and structures are organized. Community development seeks to challenge this and ensure fairness for all citizens. In practice, community development: • supports communities, of place and identity, to use their own assets to improve the quality of

community life. • helps communities and public agencies to work together to improve services and the way in

which decisions are made. Community development is fundamentally based on the values of human rights, social justice, equality and respect for diversity. The principles which underpin its practice are: • Self-determination - people and communities have the right to make their own choices and

decisions. • Empowerment - people should be able to control and use their own assets and means to

influence.

• Collective action - coming together in groups or organizations strengthens peoples’ voices. • Working and learning together - collaboration and sharing experiences is vital to good

community activity.

Let us have a review of the essence of community service taken from the RA 9163. National Service Training Program (NSTP) is designed for the tertiary level students, amending Republic Act No. 7077 Presidential Decree No. 1706 for the purpose of enhancing civic consciousness and defense preparedness in the youth by developing the ethics of services and patriotism. The role of NSTP and NSTP students to promote and carry out the NSTP goal in a particular community to attain better life and healthy environment which is the main aim and mission of every higher education institution and the so called sustainable community. Performing community service is a worthy endeavor that brings people and communities closer together and improves the wellness of those volunteering their time and effort. by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D. As we stand on the cusp of a new dawn of understanding, a new era of valuing one another, a new period of love and respect, let's make a pledge to help heal ourselves and those around us by committing to something larger than ourselves -- by committing to give back in whatever way we can. A key component of wellness is embracing and celebrating that we are part of a larger community. Whether you see your community as your apartment building, your neighborhood, your town or city, your state, your country, or the entire world, it's now time to take a bigger role in that community's well-being -- ensuring that the people in that community are loved, supported, valued. We can all make a difference in changing and improving the lives of others -- while improving ourselves and serving as a role model for others. It's time to put the community back into community service. How do you get started performing community service? Perhaps you have wanted to serve your community, but didn't know how to get started. Or maybe you thought community service was only for young people. Or just maybe you felt like you did not have the time to commit to serving. The good news is there really is a plethora of opportunities to serve your community, from very small one-time gestures to massive efforts -- and you can decide how much and what type of service works best for you. So, here are 10 ideas to help you reach out to those in your community, and in doing so, improve your overall wellness and well-being. At the end of the article, you'll also find a few inspiration quotes about volunteering and community service. Before jumping into your community service plan, remember to think about a few issues, such as how much time you have to commit, the skills you can provide, and the types of volunteering you most desire. 10 Ideas for Helping Your Community Volunteer your time and effort with one or more of these community service ideas. 1. Reach out to a neighbor in need. Every neighborhood has people or families in need, from elderly or handicapped shut-ins to struggling single-parent households. 2. Perform an act of random kindness. Buy healthy snacks for your office or the teachers at your child's school. Pay the tolls for several people behind you. Give an umbrella to someone stuck in the pouring rain. Learn more ideas here: RaVHelp buildndom Acts of Kindness Foundation 3. Mentor children at your local school. library, or neighborhood center. All organizations that deal with children need adults of any age to work with the children in a variety of ways, from after-school tutoring to recreational and sports activities. 4. Serve at a local soup kitchen or food bank. There is no greater gift than helping feed those in your community who are down on their luck and would go hungry if not for the service provided to them.

5. Donate blood. You can help save the life of one or more people simply by giving a pint of your blood at your local blood bank or during bloodmobile visits to your community, school, or office. (And if you can't give blood, help organize a blood drive for those you can donate!) 6. Volunteer at the local animal shelter, rescue group, or humane society. The animals are part of our communities too, and many of these shelters and rescue organizations need much help to achieve their missions. 7. Visit a volunteering-related Website to find multiple opportunities to serve. One of the greatest benefits of the Internet is the amount of Websites that can help connect people with local organizations that desperately need help. 8. Pick up trash along the road, at a local park, or along the banks of a river, stream, or lake. Many times there are organized efforts to clean some of these locations, but there is nothing stopping any of us from picking up litter when we see it. And smokers? Put the butt in the trash, not on the ground. 9. Help build a home with Habitat for Humanity. Working with Habitat not only literally builds the community, but also helps welcome a needy family who would not have a home without the help from people in the community. No building skills are necessary to volunteer. 10. Contact your local United Way, Red Cross, or Salvation Army for discovering new service opportunities. These and other local aid organizations are clearinghouses for many opportunities to serve in your local community, making a difference in the lives of your neighbors. Final Thoughts on Community Service Helping people in your community makes that community stronger and healthier -- and makes you stronger and healthier in the process. Performing community service is a very worthy endeavor that helps bring neighbors and others together, helping us all see the bigger picture of life we often miss in living our daily lives. Finally, an added benefit of volunteering is the new people you'll meet, the new connections you'll make. By helping better others, you may end up bettering yourself in ways you never imagined. You may also learn new skills and obtain additional training -- all of which could help you discover a new career or find a better job.

Community Service and Volunteering Quotes To keep you inspired, motivated, and involved, here are just a few inspiration quotes about volunteering and community service. For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. --President Barack Obama Everyone can be great because anyone can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't even have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve... You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love... --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help an...
