Community Extension Services (CES), which is under the Academic Development Office, takes the lead in implementing research-based community extension programs of Far Eastern University. It also serves to coordinate, monitor, and evaluate the extension services rendered by the various institutes/programs in the partner communities of the University.
FEU’s Aspirations 2028 focuses on biodiversity and sustainability, urban renewal, and cultural preservation and dissemination. From these, the four CES Key Program Areas were derived – people empowerment, socio-economic upliftment, environmental education, and cultural heritage conservation. People empowerment covers the health-related services, as well as the psycho-educational, media, and literacy programs.
Socio-economic upliftment can be achieved through small scale business seminars, entrepreneurship trainings, and livelihood programs. Environmental concern includes programs on urban renewal, food hygiene, and sanitation trainings. And cultural heritage conservation consists of activities on preservation of cultural heritage sites and promotion of Filipino customs.
CES programs have their origins in community-based research and are carried out, principally by the faculty. Programs inspired by research findings are administered by various university stakeholders – staff, students, alumni, and other faculty. CES key programs will also facilitate a more holistic approach towards helping the partner communities improve their lives and develop into a sustainable community.
CES Framework

Vision
CES envisions to build self-sustaining partner communities through research – based approach anchored on UN sustainable development goals.
