“I don’t know what your destiny will be, but something I know; the ones among you who will be

Albert Schweitzer

 1. Have you ever done any of these activities?
2. Which of their activities have you already experienced?
3. How do you feel as you do this? Why?
4. Are you willing to do it again, but you will take the lead?

Acquire New Knowledge:

In this lesson, you would be able to learn about the basic information of Community Immersion.
In this way, the NSTP trainees will gained a better understanding and realization of the different
community concerns through the exposure on actual life condition in the community
specifically in the deprived communities.

As a concept, community immersion is a strategy in community organizing that is sought to

imbibe among the NSTP trainees a better understanding and realization of the different
community concerns through exposure on actual life situations specifically in the deprived,
depressed, and the underprivileged (DDU) communities These experiences will allow them to
integrate with other people who may facilitate them to undergo certain changes that will make
them civic conscious and socially responsible citizens.

Corollary, community immersion, as a process, is aimed at developing among students-trainees,

through the training program, their appreciation of rendering community works which is
quintessential in affording for them the opportunity to experience and put themselves in real

6|Page
life situations in the communities they serve. For this reason, each of you should have a genuine
feeling in living with the people in order that you may understand and relate with community
concerns as you go through a self- transformation and personal growth at the same time.

More specifically, the NSTP trainees are required to initiate community-based programs in the
form of projects and events that resolve a variety of issues and concerns, as well as a needs
assessment/analysis study that points out the issues that obstruct the community's important
goals in the field of service.

The trainees contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the people in the service
areas in their own small way while also developing their service ethics imbued with the good
citizenship principles of makadiyos, makabayan, makatao, and makkalikasan, thus better
training them as reservists in responding to the call of the times..

Community immersion is an approach of developing among the NSTP students-trainees the

concept of service and empowerment as they reach out to deprived, depressed and
underprivileged communities and the marginalized segments of the society.

The myriad of problems in the community can be addressed by the immersion projects and
activities specifically designed ti improve the different aspects of human development like
economic, social, spiritual, etc. these aspects cannot and should not be defined singly and
separately, but must be viewed interdependently and I totality. However for purposes of
delineation, the economic aspect suggests financial management while social aspect focuses on
people interactions and relationship building. On the other hand, the spiritual aspect is
associated with religion and our relationship with the Supreme Being, regardless of whatever
name we call our God.

Translating the aforementioned aspects of human existence, NSTP had contextualized the said
concepts by determining the various dimensions of development along the CWTS component of
the program, as per guidelines of the NSTP Law, to wit:
- Education;
- Health;
- Safety and disaster management;
- Sports and recreation;
- Environmental services;
- Entrepreneurship and livelihood; and moral of citizenry and other social/general
welfare concerns.

In a nutshell, community immersion is an approach of bringing the NSTP trainees to DDU

communities and to underserved, marginalized sectors, providing them the venue where they
may encounter paradigm shifts from being mere spectators of community action, nonchalant
and passive citizens to responsible and effective change agents who are empowered to touch
the lives of other people.

However, in as much as the principles involved in NSTP community immersion present a solid
foundation for the attainment of the common goal, the quality of the program implementation

7|Page
from different institutions and schools m y vary depending on the NSTP implementers’ extent of
knowledge on concepts and level of understanding of the process and protocols on community
immersion not to mention the level of commitment in realizing the seemingly lofty yet noble
goals of the program.

Moreover, generation of resources must be given an equal amount of attention and forging of
collaborative partnership with the community and organization is deemed necessary in
forgoing a successful community immersion program for NSTP students.

a. Define community immersion as an approach and strategy of developing projects in
