This study aims to explore the organizational communication strategies implemented by the Karang Taruna (youth organization) of Selingsingan Village in fostering motivation among creative youth. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving six informants, including the chairman, administrators, and active members of the organization. The research adopts Hersey and Blanchard's situational leadership theory as a framework, focusing on four communication styles: telling, selling, participating, and delegating. The findings reveal that the chairman's adaptive communication approach significantly enhances member engagement and motivation. Clear, open, and participatory communication practices are key to building a sense of belonging and active involvement among youth. This study recommends the continuous development of persuasive two-way communication within Karang Taruna to further strengthen youth participation in social and entrepreneurial activities.
