With the aim of integrating volunteerism into education, Partido State University (ParSU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA), a government agency under the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), reflecting a shared commitment to fostering volunteerism as a driving force for nation-building and community development.
This partnership paves the way for ParSU to strengthen its community outreach programs, improve its engagement efforts, boost its culture of volunteerism that supports the PNVSCA's advocacy, and offer capacity-building initiatives to help develop a more socially responsible and active academic community. ย
Through this initiative, the university remains true to its mission of shaping individuals who are not just academically competent but also committed to making a positive difference in society.ย
Present during the MOU signing ceremony were PNVSCA Executive Director Donald James D. Gawe, CESO III, Supervising Volunteer Service Officer Ms. Fely M. Baday, Volunteer Service Officer (VSO) II Sheena C. Alcala, VSO I Dempsey D. Alariao, and Administrative Aide VI Rodi M.
