The engagement of students and faculty in social obligations and civic activities is essential for creating a culture of active citizenship. By participating in service learning, volunteering, advocacy, and research, both students and faculty contribute to the betterment of society while enhancing their own personal and professional development. As educational institutions continue to prioritize civic engagement, they play an essential role in shaping socially responsible individuals who are equipped to address the challenges of the future.
Due to the students’ and faculty members’ desire to influence society as a whole, students are frequently at the forefront of social change. Many universities and colleges encourage student involvement through various programs and initiatives. Such as service learning, and volunteering specifically community outreach.
Conducting church ministry such as discipleship, bible study and Sunday schools are the activities that involves the students. Students’ participation in church ministry has drawn a lot of interest and admiration. In addition to benefiting the church community, this practice gives young people invaluable experiences that help them develop their leadership abilities and spirituality despite the place which may or may not be enough for the outreach. Involving students in ministry helps in addressing the church’s generational barrier. Students who assume roles of leadership may revive established traditions by contributing new ideas and viewpoints. Both younger and older members are encouraged to learn from one another as a result of this lively interaction, which creates a feeling of community and belonging. Such activities were conducted every Saturday in different areas of Bontoc.
