Civic Welfare Training Service Program 1

Introduction

The Civic Welfare Training Service Program (CWTSP) is a program component

of the National Service Training Program (NSTP) under the Republic Act 9163 known
as the National Service Training Program Act of 2001 which refers to "programs of
activities contributory to the general welfare and betterment of life for the members of
the community or the enhancement of its facilities, especially those devoted to
improving health, education, environment, entrepreneurship, safety, recreation and
moral of the citizenry (Section 3, d)."

The Civic Welfare Training Service Program II (CWTSP II) is a second semester course
which consists of projects and activities designed to encourage the students to
contribute in the improvement of the general welfare and the quality of life for the local
community and its various institutional components, more particularly in terms of
"improving health, education, environment, entrepreneurship, safety, recreation and
moral of the citizenry (Section 3, d.)." It includes lectures, community
immersions/exposures and civic community project/s implementation. The students are
given the opportunity to do actual civic/community service under the supervision of the
teacher- facilitator. Through the different projects planned, implemented, and evaluated
by the students themselves, they are expected to become
civic/community minded and socially responsible.

Philippine College Foundation (PCF) recognizes a fertile ground and a greater

manpower for civic/community service involvement in the CWTSP. It is therefore the
goal of Letran through the CWTSP to form the students to become civic/community
conscious, responsive and be involved in civic welfare activities in the light of the
Dominican spirituality towards the Concretization and actualization of Letran's thrust of
forming the students to become "builders
and leaders of communities."
