Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur'an (TPA), a non-formal religious education institution, plays astrategic role in shaping children's character from an early age while also serving as a meansof Islamic outreach within the community. This article draws on the service experience ofstudents from the Islamic Religious Education study program during their CommunityService Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) in Jorong Data Baringin, focusing on efforts to revitalizea TPA that had previously been running with limited activity. The revitalization was carriedout through two main programs: collective Qur'an recitation using a loudspeaker toencourage residents at home to join in, and hadroh (Islamic percussion and chant) activitiesas a medium for character education that combines artistic expression, discipline, anddevotion to shalawat. The methods used in this service activity were observation, directmentoring, and participatory evaluation of the TPA students. The results show that bothprograms successfully increased the number and engagement of active students, fosteredcharacter values such as discipline, self-confidence, cooperation,and love for the Qur'an, anddrew renewed attention and participation from the surrounding community. This article isexpected to serve as a reflection and reference for future Community Service Program studentsand TPA administrators in designing sustainable TPA revitalization programs.
