Abstract

 

This research assessed the impact of the Extension Program implemented by the BSHM program of Bohol Island State University–Clarin Campus on the members of the Bonbon Small Vendor and Workers Association (BSVAWA) in Barangay Bonbon, Clarin, Bohol. The study examined the program’s economic, social, and environmental effects and described the respondents’ profile in terms of age, sex, educational attainment, and length of association membership. A descriptive research design was employed using a structured survey questionnaire. Data were analyzed through frequency, percentage, and weighted mean. Results showed that economically, the program improved members’ skills in entrepreneurship and financial management, resulting in increased income and livelihood opportunities. Socially, the program strengthened community relationships, enhanced cooperation, and promoted collective decision-making. Environmentally, the program encouraged responsible resource use, proper waste management, and the preservation of the community’s surroundings. The study concludes that the Extension Program had a highly positive impact on the participants’ economic stability, social cohesion, and environmental awareness. The findings underscore the importance of university-led initiatives in empowering communities and promoting sustainable development.
