<![CDATA[Community-based education can provide meaningful learning opportunities by connecting educational activities with local knowledge, community participation, and cultural practices. In rural communities, local wisdom and community relationships can become important resources for developing contextual and sustainable educational practices. This community service article aims to describe and reflect on the transformation of community-based education through local wisdom, community leadership, and sustainable partnerships in Jetak Bromo Village, Probolinggo, East Java. The service was implemented through participatory engagement during the KKL program and documented through semi-structured interviews and non-participant observations involving community members, local leaders, and KKL participants. The findings indicate that local wisdom functions as a contextual educational resource transmitted through everyday community interaction and cultural activities. Community leadership supports participation and facilitates educational activities, while interactions between community members and KKL participants create opportunities for mutual learning. The findings also highlight the importance of sustainable partnerships in maintaining the continuity of community-based educational initiatives. These findings imply that community-based education can be strengthened by integrating local knowledge, active community participation, and collaborative partnerships into educational programs while respecting the cultural context and needs of local communities.]]>
