    What is community?
    Community

    Community
    ● Community usually refers to a larger
    than a small village that shares common
    values.
    ● The word "community" is derived from
    the Old French communité which is
    derived from the Latin communitas
    (cum, "with/together" +munus, "gift"),
    a broad term for fellowship or
    organized society.
    ● Some examples of community service
    are to help in church, tutoring, hospitals,
    etc.
    Community
    ● “A community is a group of people with similar
    interests and goals whether living in the same
    geographical locality or not.”

    possible to form a community without a group of
    men and women.

    and theories behind the
    dynamics of groups and
    community.

    social workers are most qualified because it is
    assumed that they have more or less formal
    background on carrying out these kinds to organizing
    work.
    • As for NSTP, students enrolled in NSTP-CWTS/LTS 2
    are mandated to undergo community immersion for a
    period covering a minimum of 54 hours to a maximum
