<![CDATA[This community service initiative aims to empower the local community—specifically housewives and youth group members—by providing training in hair accessory production as a form of home-based creative economy enterprise. The initiative addresses issues such as a lack of marketable skills, limited formal employment opportunities, and the underutilization of leisure time among the working-age population in the target area. The implementation process comprised several stages: preparation and outreach; technical training on crafting hair accessories (clips, headbands, and hair ties) using fabric scraps, ribbons, and beads; production mentoring; digital marketing training; and an evaluation of outcomes. Results indicate a significant improvement in participants' knowledge and skills, the emergence of entrepreneurial interest, the formation of a joint business group, and the initiation of external marketing partnerships. This initiative is expected to serve as a sustainable model for community empowerment based on local potential, capable of being replicated in other regions with similar socio-economic characteristics.]]>
