Desa Sukamandi, Kecamatan Sagalaherang, Kabupaten Subang, is a village awarded first place in the 2025 Subang Regency Tourism Village competition, with cultural potential including the Buncis traditional performance and pencak silat. Strengthening youth understanding of how to utilize this cultural heritage remains necessary to keep it sustainable. This community service activity aimed to educate ninth-grade junior high school students in Sukamandi Village on the utilization of local-potential-based cultural heritage through interactive lectures, discussions, and participatory reflection in small groups. The activity was conducted on 24-25 July 2026 in partnership with the Sukamandi Village Government and SMP Islam Terpadu Adzikri, with the education session on 25 July attended by 15 ninth-grade students. A pretest-posttest design with 10 multiple-choice items and 3 attitude statements was used to measure students' comprehension and disposition. Results showed the average comprehension score rose from 84.7 (pretest) to 91.4 (posttest), an increase of 7.9%. Some students had already scored highly at pretest. Attitude statements remained consistently positive across both measurements. Overall, the activity improved comprehension and reinforced positive attitudes toward cultural heritage preservation among most students.
