<![CDATA[Rural communities often face economic limitations due to restricted employment opportunities and the underutilization of local resources. Sawit Village, Karangasem, Tanon, Sragen, has considerable potential in soybean processing because soybeans are relatively accessible and tempeh is widely consumed by the community. This community service program focused on strengthening household economic resilience through participatory assistance in soybean tempeh production for women in RT 06 Sawit Village. The program aimed to improve technical skills in hygienic tempeh production, increase entrepreneurial awareness, and encourage product packaging and marketing practices that support small-scale business development. The method used was participatory community assistance involving initial observation, joint planning, technical training, field mentoring, business management education, and evaluation. Community members were involved in every stage of the activity, from identifying problems to implementing production and packaging practices. The results showed that participants were able to select quality soybeans, apply appropriate fermentation procedures, maintain sanitation during production, and produce tempeh with a compact texture, white color, and characteristic aroma. In addition, participants gained new knowledge about simple packaging and product labeling as preparation for local marketing. The program also encouraged greater confidence among women to develop home-based economic activities and utilize local agricultural potential more productively. Participatory assistance in soybean tempeh production can therefore serve not only as a food-processing activity but also as a community empowerment strategy that contributes to skills improvement, entrepreneurial awareness, and local economic resilience.]]>
