Abstract

This community service program was carried out to answer the issue of lack of soft skills and digital literacy competencies among members of the Pematang Johar Village Youth Organization, which has an impact on the suboptimal role of youth in social activities and village development. The focus of this service is to increase communication capacity, leadership, teamwork, and the ability to utilize digital technology. The activity aims to empower youth through strengthening personal and organizational competencies. The methods used are participatory action research (PAR) and practice-based participatory training, which are carried out through soft skills sessions, basic digital literacy, advanced digital literacy, and technical assistance. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the communication skills, leadership, and digital skills of the participants, the formation of a digital creative team, and the improvement of the organizational culture of Karang Taruna. This program has succeeded in encouraging youth as agents of social change in the village.

Abstract

This community service and research project aims to enhance the digital capabilities of the Pematang Johar Rice Field Tourism Village community through strengthened branding and digital marketing. The activity was motivated by the significant decline in tourist visits during the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted the need for more adaptive promotional strategies. The study employed a descriptive-participatory approach consisting of observation, socialization, training, and mentoring activities. A total of 60 participants were involved in training sessions covering visual content production, social media management, Google Maps optimization, and village website development. Pre-test results indicated low levels of digital literacy (40/100), while post-test scores increased sharply to 90/100 after the mentoring sessions. Beyond technical improvements, the program also led to social transformation, including the formation of a village digital team, increased collaboration among MSMEs, and the establishment of a new branding identity: “Pematang Johar – Rice Field Tourism on the Outskirts of Medan City.” The outcomes demonstrate that digital marketing is an effective strategy for promoting tourist villages and supporting sustainable local economic growth.
