Abstract	Community based learning and outreach is a strategy through which academic institutions worldwide including University of Ghana have successfully stayed relevant to less privileged communities; they exist in bringing benefits of education to their (less privileged communities) doorstep. Learner's participation has been an objective that any adult functional literacy program seeks to encourage for success. This study captured internal and external factors and their significance in influencing urbanite learners' participation in active classes, with high attendance and involvement. Literature survey and experience survey methods were used respectively to collect information from Institute of Continuing and Distance Education's literature; and data from functional literacy learners in six learning centres of Nima and Accra New Town, at East Ayawaso Sub-District, Accra. Sample size was 116. Chi-square analysis showed internal factors relating to learner were significant.
