<![CDATA[Instilling patriotism in early childhood is an important effort in shaping the character of citizens with good moral character, responsibility, and concern for their nation. Strengthening civic values in non-formal religious education settings requires a more contextual approach that is easily understood by children. This community service activity was conducted at Baitussaadah Islamic Study Group, Ulee Gle Village, Bireuen Regency, with the aim of cultivating patriotism through civic education integrated with Islamic values. The activity was implemented using an educational-participatory approach through material delivery, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, motivational activities, and examples of applying civic values in daily life. The materials covered an understanding of citizenship, the attitudes of being a good Muslim child, respect for parents and teachers, maintaining unity, obeying positive rules, preserving environmental cleanliness, and developing pride as Indonesian citizens. The results showed that 35 participants actively participated and demonstrated enthusiasm throughout the learning process. Participants were able to understand the relationship between Islamic teachings and patriotism and identify simple behaviors that reflect good citizenship. This activity contributed positively to strengthening character education in non-formal educational settings. It is recommended that similar activities be implemented continuously by involving more stakeholders and utilizing more creative learning media to improve the effectiveness of fostering patriotic values among children.]]>
