Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of the Youth Red Cross (PMR) extracurricular activity in fostering social awareness and empathy among students at MTs Negeri Salatiga. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants consisted of PMR instructors, active PMR members, and non-PMR students. The results showed that PMR activities played a significant role in developing students' social awareness through health service activities at school, first aid training, and community service activities. Students were accustomed to helping friends and were sensitive to the social conditions around them. In addition, victim handling simulation activities and communication habits when providing assistance formed students' empathy emotionally and practically. Supporting factors for the formation of social awareness and empathy include school support, instructor competence, and structured training programs. Obstacles included limited medical facilities, fluctuating motivation, and schedule conflicts with learning. Overall, PMR has a real role in developing humanitarian values ​​in the school environment through continuous practical learning.
