MIDTERM REQUIREMENT IN NSTP 2:
NATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM 2
Adopt-a-Community Project
I. Objective
As part of the Midterm Requirement of NSTP 2, students are tasked to craft and implement a
Community-Based Project Proposal. This proposal is an initiative designed for a specific
community to improve its well-being through identifying community needs, setting goals, and
outlining expected outcomes. The project aims to promote community empowerment and
sustainable development.
II. Rationale
A community is defined as a group of people living in the same place or sharing common
characteristics. Beyond urban and rural settings, communities also exist within institutions,
schools, and charitable or non-governmental organizations.
The Adopt-a-Community Project provides students with experiential learning opportunities by
engaging them in meaningful community activities and programs. Various colleges will
contribute based on the needs of the community:
● The College of Allied Medical Professions (CAMP) will assist in conducting a census
and needs assessment of the partner community.
● The College of Nursing (CON) will encode and help process data gathered from the
community census.
● The following colleges namely, College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), College of Business
and Accountancy (CBA), College of Computer Studies (CCS), and College of
Engineering and Architecture (CEA) will implement one-day community-based projects
in nearby public schools addressing identified needs.
III. Guidelines and Rubric
1. Students will be guided by their NSTP instructor in the formulation, planning, and
implementation of their Community-Based Project.
2. The class will be divided into four (4) to six (6) groups, depending on class size, with five
to six (5–6) members per group.
3. Each group shall select one area of concern:
● For CAS, CBA, CCS, and CEA: projects addressing the needs of the school
community.
● For CON and CAMP: projects focused on community empowerment.
4. Students under CAS,CBA, CCS and CEA may refer to the Community Needs
Assessment Survey as the basis for their project.
5. Groups must follow the official project proposal template provided by the NSTP
instructor.
6. Each group will present their Community-Based Project Proposal in class.
7. The 30 points will be their attendance in the implementation of the adopt-a-community
project and the 20 points for their proposal. The project proposal is graded based on the
given rubric below.
