This community service activity aims to address the low understanding of investment and financial management among Islamic boarding school students as part of efforts to strengthen financial literacy from an early age. The program was carried out at Raudhatul Ulum Islamic Boarding School Integrated High School in Sakatiga, Ogan Ilir Regency, involving 40 students. The activity included interactive lectures, discussions, simulations, and practical mentoring over three days. The results showed that participants were able to understand the basic concepts of financial management, recognize various forms of simple investments, and demonstrate wiser attitudes toward managing their pocket money. This activity is expected to foster a culture of financial literacy among students and serve as an initial step in developing a smart, independent, and future-oriented young generation.
