<![CDATA[Character education is a fundamental aspect in shaping the personality of students, particularly in religious educational institutions such as Islamic schools (Madrasah Diniyah). However, the implementation of character education at Madrasah Diniyah Miftahul Khoirot Ketawang Gondang Nganjuk still faces various obstacles, including the suboptimal integration of character values into the learning process, limited learning media, and the need to improve the competency of male and female teachers in systematically implementing character education strategies. This community service activity aims to strengthen the implementation of character education through a mentoring program for male and female teachers (madrasah), and students (santri) at Madrasah Diniyah Miftahul Khoirot Ketawang Gondang Nganjuk. The methods used include needs identification, outreach, training, implementation mentoring, and program evaluation. The mentoring material focuses on strengthening religious values, discipline, responsibility, honesty, cooperation, and social awareness through habituation, role modeling, and integration into learning and religious activities at the madrasah. Evaluation is conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation during the implementation of the activity. The results of the activity indicate an increase in the understanding and skills of the male and female teachers (ustadz and ustadzah) in integrating character education into the learning process. Furthermore, there was an increase in positive student behavior, demonstrated by increased discipline, responsibility in participating in learning activities, concern for others, and the inculcation of religious behavior in daily life. This mentoring program positively contributes to creating a character-based madrasah culture and supports the achievement of Islamic education goals, which are oriented towards developing individuals of faith, piety, and noble character.]]>
