The growing phenomenon of teenage gang fights in Padang has become an urgent social problem that requires character education intervention. This education focuses on preventive intervention through an approach based on Islamic values and nationalism. The goal is to improve students’ self-control and sense of national pride through discussion activities, focus group discussions (FGDs), communal worship, and team-building exercises. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which includes planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. The results of the community service program showed significant changes: 80% of participants reported an improvement in their self-control to avoid gang fights, and 70% of participants had a better understanding of national values. By strengthening awareness of unity and the internalization of nationalist values, this integrative approach has proven to be a relevant model for community service to address youth gang fights in various regions.
