Abstract

This community service program addressed the need to strengthen religious moderation and mental resilience among students (santri) in Indonesia's diverse socio-religious context. Implemented at Pesantren Ulumul Qur'an, the initiative designed and evaluated an empowerment model that integrated two core components: the training of peer educators and the facilitation of a religious moderation writing class. The primary objective was to enhance the santri's knowledge, attitudes, and practical skills related to religious moderation and emotional management through a participatory, peer-based learning approach. The methods involved a series of structured activities, including training workshops, mentoring sessions, and facilitated writing and peer-review discussions, engaging a total of 31 santri. Data collected through pre- and post-program questionnaires revealed significant positive outcomes. The results showed marked improvements in several key areas: santri participation in writing activities increased, the consistent use of credible references in their writing rose from 25.8% to 38.7%, the practice of outlining arguments before writing grew from 38.7% to 67.7%, and the application of polite and inclusive language became more prevalent. Furthermore, the santri exhibited a strong consensus in supporting democratic values, interfaith cooperation (96.8%), and the protection of minority rights (96.8%). In conclusion, this service program effectively demonstrates that a model combining peer education and critical literacy through writing is a powerful tool for fostering a generation of santri who are not only knowledgeable and resilient but also active promoters of moderation and harmony in society. Keywords: Religious Moderation, Peer Educator, Writing Class, Santri, Community Empowerment.
