<![CDATA[The Komunitas Harapan in Kauman Village, Semarang, was established to address social issues among children, including the lack of social skills due to the influence of a harsh environment. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of role-playing and modeling methods in improving the social skills of children in the community. The method used is a quantitative approach with an action research model, involving 11 child subjects ranging from kindergarten to elementary school age. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and pre-tests and post-tests. The analysis results show an increase in social skills that is not statistically significant, with a difference of 11.82 points between the average pre-test and post-test scores. However, qualitative observations reveal a positive impact, including increased responsiveness to instructions and mastery of basic social skills such as apologizing. In conclusion, although the quantitative results were not significant, this intervention has a positive impact on the development of children's social skills, which requires more time and a deeper approach for optimal results]]>
