what is civic welfare training service

The Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) is a component of the National Service Training Program (NSTP) in the Philippines. The program is designed to enhance the civic consciousness of students by developing the value of service and commitment for the general welfare of the community. The CWTS aims to make students realize their vital role in nation-building by advancing their involvement in public and civic affairs through awareness and participation in different advocacies and community service activities based on their capabilities. Graduates of the CWTS become members of the National Service Reserve Corps, which may be tapped by the state for the delivery of literacy, civic welfare, and disaster risk reduction programs and activities. The CWTS component of the NSTP is focused on programs or activities contributory to the general welfare and the betterment of life for the members of the community and the enhancement of its facilities, especially those devoted to improving health, education, environment, entrepreneurship, safety, recreation, and morals of the citizenry.
