<![CDATA[This community engagement program aims to strengthen Islamic values and Indonesian cultural identity among Indonesian migrant children participating in non-formal education in Gombak Sungai 5, Malaysia. Living within a multicultural environment may create challenges for children in maintaining religious values, cultural awareness, and a sense of Indonesian identity. The program was designed as an educational and mentoring initiative integrating Islamic learning, Indonesian cultural activities, storytelling, religious practices, and interactive group discussions. A participatory approach was employed by involving children, volunteer educators, and community members throughout the implementation process. Activities were conducted through contextual learning that connected Islamic teachings with children's daily experiences in a multicultural society. The program focused on developing religious understanding, positive character, cultural appreciation, and confidence in expressing Indonesian identity. The results indicated increased children's participation in religious and cultural learning activities, improved understanding of Islamic values, and stronger awareness of Indonesian cultural heritage. The program demonstrates that non-formal education can provide an important space for sustaining religious and cultural identity among Indonesian migrant children while encouraging positive adaptation within Malaysia's multicultural social environment.]]>
