Community service program aims to foster students’ sense of responsibility and environmental awareness through a living pharmacy activity at MTs Dayama Jerowaru, East Lombok Regency. The program was implemented using a Community-Based Participatory Approach and Experiential Learning, positioning students as active agents in Project-Based Learning activities. It involved the school principal, teachers, and 68 students from grades VII–IX, conducted in six stages: socialization of character values, training, cultivation of medicinal plants, formation of duty groups, and character reflection and evaluation. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ character indicators: environmental awareness increased from 28% to 86%, responsibility from 32% to 90%, discipline from 45% to 88%, and cooperation from 40% to 92%. Beyond behavioral changes, the program also reinforced Islamic values such as trustworthiness and cleanliness as part of faith, while revitalizing Jerowaru’s local wisdom in the use of herbal plants. Overall, this program proved effective in cultivating environmental care and responsibility through direct experience and collaborative engagement between the school and the community.
