1. Methodologies and Approaches of Community Actions and Involvements KIM J. DIZON Teacher

2. Introduction Community action means people working hand in hand to make their communities better. It involves methods and strategies to identify problems, plan solutions, and take meaningful action. These approaches allow communities to work across different disciplines such as education, health, environment, and governance.

3. 1. Partnership Building with Local Groups Partnerships are about working together with organizations and individuals for a common goal. - Local groups include barangay councils, schools, NGOs, and businesses. - Strong partnerships bring more resources and expertise. - Example: A school partnering with the barangay for a clean-up drive. - Benefits: Trust, shared responsibility, and stronger community projects.

4. 2. Community Profiling Community profiling is the process of gathering detailed information about a community. - Includes population, culture, health, education, and resources. - Helps identify strengths and weaknesses. - Example: Surveying families about health and education needs. - Benefits: Provides a clear picture to guide future programs.

5. 3. Needs Assessment Needs assessment helps identify what is most important to address in a community. - Focuses on problems that directly affect people. - Uses surveys, focus group discussions, and interviews. - Example: Finding out that clean drinking water is the top priority. - Benefits: Ensures that projects address real needs, not assumptions.

6. 4. Core Group & Leadership Development Working with leaders strengthens community action. - Core leaders act as role models and decision-makers. - Leadership training builds confidence and skills. - Example: Training youth leaders in project management. - Benefits: Sustains projects even after external support is gone.

7. 5. Participatory Action Planning This ensures community members are directly involved in planning solutions. - Encourages collaboration and shared ownership. - Uses workshops, brainstorming, and group discussions. - Example: Barangay residents planning together for disaster preparedness. - Benefits: People support the plan because they helped create it.

8. 6. Resource Mobilization Resource mobilization ensures that projects have the support they need. - Resources can be money, manpower, skills, or equipment. - Involves fundraising, sponsorships, and donations. - Example: Local businesses donating materials for a community center. - Benefits: Maximizes both local and external resources for success.

9. 7. Social Action Social action pushes for long-term change in communities. - Can include awareness campaigns, rallies, or educational programs. - Focuses on justice, equality, and better living conditions. - Example: A campaign against plastic use in barangays. - Benefits: Improves not only individuals but the whole society.

10. 8. Evaluation Evaluation measures the success of community projects. - Uses surveys, reports, and feedback sessions. - Helps identify what worked and what needs improvement. - Example: Checking if a feeding program reduced malnutrition. - Benefits: Makes future projects more effective and sustainable.

11. Conclusion Community action becomes successful when people work together using proper methodologies. Each step—partnership building, profiling, needs assessment, leadership development, action planning, resource mobilization, social action, and evaluation—contributes to lasting positive change. For HUMSS students, understanding these approaches is important to prepare for future roles as leaders, advocates, and active citizens in society.
