This study entitled the Evaluation of the Rizal Technological University National Service Training Program Community Services (NSTP) is based on the assessment of the target clienteles in three major municipalities; Mandaluyong, Pasig and Makati, Philippines. The main objective is to seek the respondents’ assessment in terms of the community services rendered as to; relevance of the program, effects of the services, assessment of clients to the trainer, facilities/materials/equipment and venue of the program. Also, the relationship between the profile of the respondents and the effects of the services. The researchers utilized the normative survey method for both Pre and Post assessment instruments and the descriptive and inferential statistical tools. There are nine services rendered such as; Drug Abuse Prevention, Health Education, Environmental Resource Management, Recreation, Livelihood Program, First Aid and Emergency, Values Education, Voter’s Education, and Literacy Program that were evaluated by the respondents as relevant. Also, the weighted scores of the trainers, equipment, facilities and the venue were evaluated by the respondents as satisfactory. In the Chi-square results, there are five profile variables; age, barangay, educational attainment, civil status and municipality tested against the impact of the services in the NSTP department. Almost, all profiles and the effects of the services of the NSTP department obtained higher computed significant levels/values than the 5% alpha which implies the acceptance of the null hypothesis whereby respondents have commonalities and similarities with their responses to these NSTP services.
