AND PROGRAMS
1. Adopt-A-Barangay Modality Program: A Community Outreach and
Volunteerism Approach
In its desire to develop a more relevant and effective modality and
strategy/approach, ISU has conceptualized the “Adopt-a-Barangay Program/
Approach” integrating the BIDANI model in 1999. The program is an integrated,
inter-college extension strategy/approach towards transforming a selected poor
pilot barangay into a self-reliant, empowered and progressive community. It pools
experts from various colleges of the Campus/University who are capable of
analyzing the needs of the community and eventually helping them find solutions
and assisting them realize their goals. The program was designed to cater to
the recommendations of AACCUP accreditation requiring college-based
extension activities. Under this program, all college-based extension activities
are implemented in one pilot barangay under participative and collaborative
arrangement involving interdisciplinary teams. The pilot barangay serves as the
convergence of services and technical assistance from the colleges based
on their strengths, expertise and mandate which were planned and implemented
collaboratively.
