Abstract

Sustainable community service is one of the pillars of higher education. In this regard, this study aimed to assess the impact of the UB extension and community outreach services delivery to Barangay Lucnab. Guided by the ethical principles, the validated and reliability-tested researcher-made questionnaires were given purposively to those who were able to avail of the services.  Based on the findings, the extent of availment for Computer Literacy, Livelihood, and Security & Safety programs are all interpreted as “never” because the frequency of those who never availed of the services outnumbered those who were able to avail themselves. The Health and Sanitation program is interpreted as “sometimes”. The residents’ level of satisfaction on Computer Literacy and Livelihood programs are interpreted as “satisfied”. The Health and Sanitation Security and Safety programs are both interpreted as “very satisfied”. The extent of application of the residents’ knowledge and skills acquired on Computer Literacy, Livelihood, and Security & Safety Programs are all interpreted as “never” because of the lack of chance or opportunity to use or apply it. The Health and Sanitation program is interpreted as “sometimes”. Analysis of Variance affirmed no significant differences in the extent of availment, level of satisfaction, and extent of application by the five Puroks, p> .05, except for the statistically significant extent of application acquired from the Security & Safety Program, p=.012<.05. However, there are significant differences in the extent of availment, level of satisfaction, and extent of the application according to Cluster, (p<.05). In conclusion, there is an impact of the UB extension and community outreach services delivery to barangay Lucnab.
