摘要：A community's essence, which is the combination of its identity, purpose, and culture,
is dynamic. It is influenced or shaped in part by what the community is capable of. Extension, through
its educational programs, plays a large part in leading the community to progress. The academe making
a linkage with organizations builds community engagement which is a powerful vehicle for bringing out
environmental and behavioral changes which contribute to the holistic development of a community
and its members. These collaboration efforts help mobilize resources and influence systems, change
relationships among partners. This study evaluated the grassroots community entrepreneurial
livelihood undertakings and its needs. Respondents were randomly selected from the grassroots
community of Pili, Camarines Sur, Philippines. Based on the data gathered, 40% of the respondents are
store owners, 20% were into buy and sell business, 10% are into direct selling, 10% are pedicab drivers,
10 % are educational plan agent and the remaining 10% are food vendors. But despite a steady income
from their entrepreneurial projects they still applied and avail loans from a private lending institution.
Moreover, it showed that the community lacks the knowledge about governance education and
entrepreneurial development. With these findings, it is opportune to adopt the Expanded Grassroots
Project to combat poverty in the country. However, this implicate strengthened partnership and linkage
to sustain productive and decent work for all in the community.
