<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the declining participation of some adolescents in mosque organization activities, making it necessary to conduct a study to determine the level of interest among adolescents in participating in such activities. This study aims to analyze adolescents’ interest in the activities of the Nurussalam Mosque Youth Organization in Sungai Sariak, Baso Subdistrict, Agam Regency. The study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive research design. The research informants consisted of five adolescents as key informants and the administrators of the Nurussalam Mosque as supporting informants. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis utilized the Miles and Huberman model, which encompasses data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity was tested through source and technique triangulation. The results of the study indicate that adolescents’ interest in the activities of the Nurussalam Mosque Youth Organization falls into the “good” category as assessed by four indicators: enjoyment, interest, awareness, and involvement. All informants stated that they enjoyed participating in the organization’s activities because they provided benefits for character development, enhanced religious knowledge, and expanded social connections. In addition, the informants expressed interest, understood the organization’s structure and rules, and felt accepted and valued as members. Nevertheless, differences were still found in the levels of discipline and active participation among members in the organization’s activities. Therefore, ongoing guidance and program innovation are needed to further increase adolescents’ interest and participation in the mosque youth organization’s activities.]]>
