Short Description

Community involvement is a vital aspect of promoting social justice, equity, and social responsibility. It refers to the active participation of individuals and groups in public life, civic engagement, and social change. Community involvement can take various forms, such as volunteerism, service-learning, community organizing, and advocacy. Through community involvement, people can challenge an unjust society. The Community Involvement Program of Christ the King College is anchored on the JEEPGY Framework which is centered on righting relationships with God, humanity, and all of creation, which programs are guided by the values of stewardship, human dignity, integrity, love, dialogue, solidarity, spirituality, among others.
