<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of the Dinas Sosial Kota Surabaya in facilitating screen printing training at the Rumah Anak Prestasi (RAP) as an effort to improve the skills and independence of people with disabilities. The issue addressed is the suboptimal implementation of the government’s role in promoting the effectiveness of the training program, as evidenced by the low participation rate, with only seven participants remaining. Additionally, there has been an increase in the population of people with disabilities in Surabaya City year after year. This study was conducted to determine the role of the Dinas Sosial Kota Surabaya in providing guidance at the Rumah Anak Prestasi Nginden in Surabaya. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, and documentation. Data collection in the form of interviews will be conducted with the head of the RAP, the screen printing mentor, participants, and parents of students involved in the screen printing activity. This research will be analyzed using Arif’s role theory, which encompasses the roles of dynamizer, facilitator, and catalyst. The results of the study indicate that the role of the dynamizer has been somewhat effective due to a lack of structured coordination; the role of the facilitator has been highly effective in providing facilities and infrastructure, although there are still limitations in the mentors’ competencies; while the role of the catalyst has been somewhat effective due to a lack of innovation and motivation in increasing participant engagement. In conclusion, there is a need to enhance mentor capacity, strengthen outreach strategies, and introduce program innovations so that the screen printing training can be more appealing in increasing the number of participants.]]>
