The objective of this research is to formulate a model for an Islamic boarding school entrepreneurship ecosystem by strengthening cooperatives as a means of entrepreneurial learning and a source of additional income.The research method used was descriptive qualitative, using participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The collected data was analyzed thematically to identify economic empowerment strategies tailored to local characteristics.Research shows that limited access to economic resources and a lack of entrepreneurial skills are the main obstacles facing Islamic boarding schools. However, Islamic boarding school cooperatives have significant potential to become economic drivers if managed in an inclusive and participatory manner.
