Abstract

This community service activity aimed to improve social skills, promote physical and mental well-being, strengthen independence, and create positive memories among older adults through an Outing Class program. The activity was conducted at Enchanting Valley, Taman Safari, involving 105 elderly students and 10 facilitators from Sekolah Lansia Pondokgede “Selancar Poge Hebat.” The implementation methods included morning exercise sessions, cultural and artistic performances by elderly participants, interactive games, shared meals, and educational-recreational tourism activities. Program effectiveness was evaluated using a pre-test and post-test approach covering five indicators: happiness, life satisfaction, quality of life, social skills, and depression levels. The findings indicated significant improvements in all positive well-being indicators, accompanied by a reduction in depression levels after participation in the program. Participants demonstrated stronger social interaction, greater self-confidence, enhanced physical activity, and more active involvement in public settings. The combination of recreational, educational, and participatory activities created a positive atmosphere that supported psychological well-being and healthy aging. The program concludes that an Outing Class can serve as an effective community-based strategy enhance the quality of life of older adults. Its managerial contribution lies in providing a sustainable model for elderly empowerment programs that integrate education, recreation, social engagement, and active aging principles.
