This community service article describes a mentoring program focused on preparing young participants for the Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur’an (MTQ) in Salareh Aia Utara Nagari, Padang Tarok Jorong, Palembayan District, Agam Regency. The program was designed to strengthen reading fluency, tajwid accuracy, vocal confidence, adab, and readiness to perform in a community religious event. The approach combined initial observation, coordination with local religious leaders, group guidance, direct practice, correction through talaqqi, simulation, and reflective evaluation. The participants practiced selected competition branches in the mosque environment with support from students, local mentors, and community members. The documentation shows that the activity created an orderly learning atmosphere, encouraged children to practice in groups, and connected technical preparation with the social values of cooperation and Qur’anic appreciation. The main contribution of this program is a simple, locally adaptable preparation model that treats MTQ not only as a competition but also as a medium for building regular Qur’an learning habits. The activity is expected to support sustainable coaching through scheduled practice, mentor collaboration, and community monitoring.
