Abstract: This paper investigates the utilization of community resources to enhance social studies education at FCT College of Education, Zuba. Recognizing the importance of experiential learning, the study examines the availability, utilization, and efficiency of various resources, including museums, nature centers, interactive SOS centers, and farms, through a descriptive survey. Findings reveal high availability and utilization rates for certain resources, while others show opportunities for improvement. Despite challenges such as logistical constraints and disparities in resource access, community resources are perceived to enhance teaching effectiveness, student engagement, and problem-solving skills. The study underscores the significance of integrating underutilized resources, fostering partnerships with local stakeholders, and providing professional development opportunities for educators to maximize the impact of community resources on social studies education. Recommendations include promoting innovative integration strategies, addressing barriers to resource utilization, and regularly assessing efficacy to improve teaching and learning experiences.
