This community service activity conducted through the Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) program aims to improve adolescents’ understanding and awareness of early marriage prevention. The activity was carried out at SMP 14 Sinjai Selatan, Talle Village, South Sinjai District, involving approximately 60 ninth-grade students. The method used was a participatory approach through a combination of lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. The results showed an increase in students’ knowledge regarding the definition, causes, and impacts of early marriage, as well as positive changes in attitudes indicated by increased awareness to delay marriage until a more mature age. Active student participation during the activity also became an indicator of the program’s success. Therefore, the educational seminar on early marriage prevention is considered effective in improving students’ understanding and awareness as a preventive effort against early marriage among adolescents
