Abstract

Low-income urban areas continue to face the challenges of existing risks in terms of the family's limited knowledge of personal finance and the unavailability of entrepreneurship learning within the family unit. The challenge is observed in the Cipayung Urban Village in East Jakarta, Indonesia. Notwithstanding the availability of the Payung Tunas Teratai RTPRA Library and the engagement of the youth. The problem is resolved through the intervention program offered in this community service activity, which adopts a family-centred approach comprising youth entrepreneurship, collaboration between mothers and children, experiential learning, and environmentally responsible conditions. The study adopted a quasi-experimental approach with participation from 30 students in primary and low-secondary schools. The program was executed through a comprehensive structured three-level training. Observation, in-depth interviewing, and pre- and post-testing were employed. The data was systematically interpreted through a mixed-methods strategy comprising descriptive quantitative methodology. The research proves the effectiveness of the family-centred approach in improving the students' knowledge in terms of personal finance, saving habit, basic accounting knowledge, and introduced concepts for personal and family entrepreneurship. As a collective dimension of the research findings, the project proves that gamification strategies can have a profound potential in the family-centred approach.

Abstract

At-risk youth living in orphanages face a critical need for structured psychosocial support and character development opportunities, as they often experience limited access to positive role models, low self-confidence, and restricted environments for developing moral and social competencies. Addressing this need is essential to support their psychosocial wellbeing and prepare them for future social integration. This community service program aimed to develop and implement an international collaborative character-building initiative designed to enhance self-confidence, moral awareness, resilience, and motivation among orphanage youth participants. The program was conducted at Rumah Seujahtera Aneuk Nanggroe (RSAN), Aceh Besar, involving 50 youth participants, through collaboration between Indonesian and Malaysian nursing institutions. Using a participatory and empowerment-based approach, the program included motivational sessions, character education workshops, and interactive group activities focusing on integrity, resilience, moral values, and self-efficacy. Data was collected through structured observation, participant reflections, and feedback to assess engagement and perceived outcomes. The results indicated observable improvements in participants’ confidence, willingness to express ideas, engagement in discussions, and awareness of moral and social values. These outcomes highlight the importance of providing structured, participatory, and supportive learning environments for vulnerable youth. The international collaboration also contributed to cross-cultural knowledge exchange and strengthened academic partnerships. This program demonstrates that an empowerment-based, internationally collaborative approach can serve as a relevant and contextually responsive strategy to address psychosocial and character development needs among at-risk youth in institutional care settings.

Abstract

Teachers of the MGMP Mathematics at Public Junior High Schools in the Western Region of Jember Regency experience difficulties in developing Deep Learning-based instructional materials. This mentoring program aims to describe teachers’ challenges, formulate mentoring strategies, and explain the outcomes of the implemented strategies. The community service method involved preparation, planning, coordination, implementation, reflection, evaluation, and follow-up. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis employed Miles and Huberman model, including comprising data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing and verification, assisted by NVivo 12 software. The primary challenges involved adapting to changes in Merdeka Curriculum instructional materials and the limited availability of continuous mentoring. Mentoring strategy based on participatory action research was implemented over three meetings. The results demonstrate improvements in teachers’ understanding and skills in developing in-depth learning plans, ability to utilize AI technology, strengthened collaboration and commitment among teachers to implement in-depth learning plans, and the establishment of mentor schools for further mentoring. Thus, this mentoring program plays a role in supporting SDG 4 (Quality Education) by enhancing teachers’ professional competencies and implementing a sustainable mentoring model to support the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum through a Deep Learning approach.

Abstract

Nutrient deficiencies in Brazilian spinach plants and high levels of household fruit peel waste in Kampung Pintar Oase Tembok Gede Surabaya have the potential to be utilized as raw materials for POC. This study aims to describe the acceleration of the POC production process by stale rice MOL, the nutrient quality of POC, the effect of different POC concentrations on the growth of Brazilian spinach, the optimal POC dosage, and its implementation on SDGs 2 and SDGs 12 indicators. The research methodology consisted of two stages: (1) the production of stale rice MOL through the fermentation observation method, and (2) the implementation of experiments with control treatments (0%) and POC treatments at concentrations of 25% and 50%. The parameters measured included plant height, leaf width, wet weight, and POC nutrient content (N, P, K, organic C, and Fe). The content test was conducted at BSPJI Surabaya. Data analysis used a quantitative descriptive method by comparing it to the standard quality of liquid organic fertilizer according to Minister of Agriculture Regulation No. 70 of 2011. The results of the study show that MOL stale rice is capable of accelerating the fermentation of fruit peel waste POC and producing fertilizer with nutrient quality that meets standard quality standards. The application of POC to Brazilian spinach increases plant height, leaf width, and wet weight compared to the control, with an optimal dose at a concentration of 50%. The implementation of this research has been proven to support local food security through increased Brazilian spinach productivity and encourage responsible household waste management, thereby contributing significantly to the achievement of SDGs 2 and 12.

Abstract

Cooperative leaders in Bekasi Regency faced three interrelated partner problems: annual work programs were not consistently derived from strategic diagnosis; governance and business priorities were fragmented; and the cooperative movement lacked shared indicators and a structured follow-up mechanism. These weaknesses were urgent because they constrained resource allocation, member accountability, organizational learning, and adaptation to market and digital change. This community-service program strengthened strategic-planning capacity through a participatory workshop conducted on 6 March 2025 with 60 cooperative and local-government participants. Its novelty was the integration of cooperative identity, governance, business competitiveness, participatory decision-making, and measurable implementation in a program-derived Cooperative Strategic Alignment Canvas (CSAC). Evaluation used a multi-source documentary instrument covering participation, conceptual clarification, problem relevance, product completion, and follow-up commitment. Evidence came from attendance records, facilitator observations, participant questions, workshop materials, photographs, and the official report. The program exceeded its reach target (60 participants compared with 50 planned), completed all four learning stages, generated the CSAC and a four-cycle mentoring roadmap, and established a shared planning language. Direct social effects included stronger dialogue, coordination, and governance awareness. Economic effects were identified as plausible early pathways better prioritization, resource alignment, and business focus rather than as measured income gains. The findings support a staged capacity-building model combining workshops, co-drafting, mentoring, and periodic monitoring.

Abstract

Access to quality education for children with special needs (CSWN) in Indonesia's indigenous communities remains constrained by geographic isolation, weak inclusive infrastructure, low teacher competence, and social stigma. This community service program, titled "Action Research on Technical Assistance for the Implementation of Inclusive Education in Indigenous Communities: Efforts toward Equitable Access to Quality Education," was implemented in Kampung Adat Kuta, Karangpaningal Village, Tambaksari District, Ciamis Regency, West Java, using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach that engages the village government, traditional leaders, schools, teachers,  parents, and the wider community as active partners. As of this progress report, the program has completed its preparation and consolidation phase, comprising team formation, a baseline survey of 97 households, initial identification of 13–15 school-age children with special needs, and an infrastructure-readiness audit of three partner elementary schools. The baseline data show that only 15.4% of the identified children with special needs currently access formal education, while 73.2% of households still hold negative stigma toward disability. Formal licensing and customary deliberation processes with traditional leaders are underway, alongside the drafting of an inclusive-education guidebook and a written customary agreement on the educational rights of children with special needs. These preparatory achievements provide a solid foundation for the forthcoming implementation phase, which will focus on teacher training, YouTube-based adaptive learning media, and long-term mentoring to build a sustainable, culturally responsive model of inclusive education.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a rebranding strategy for Batik Pendopo products as local cultural heritage through social media to attract Generation Z’s purchase intention. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a single-case study design conducted at Batik Pendopo, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, in 2026. Data were collected through observations, interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), digital observations, documentation, structured responses from 100 Generation Z participants, and purchase records. The rebranding strategy included brand repositioning, visual identity strengthening, brand storytelling, and the development of content for Instagram and TikTok. The results show that 96% of participants considered batik to appear more modern after viewing the rebranding content, 96% considered it suitable for Generation Z, and 96% considered local cultural values to remain relevant. Furthermore, 93% felt more connected to Batik Pendopo, 92% expressed interest in learning more about the products, 91% wanted to try them, and 92% expressed purchase intention if the products met their needs. Generation Z’s purchase data also showed an upward pattern through June 2026, although this increase cannot be interpreted as evidence of a direct causal relationship between the rebranding strategy and sales performance. These findings indicate that rebranding can bridge the preservation of local cultural values with the need for a more modern and relevant brand image for Generation Z. The study concludes that rebranding local cultural products should preserve their cultural identity while strengthening the way that identity is communicated through visual, narrative, and digital approaches that are relevant to younger consumers.

Abstract

Influenza is a serious public health concern, particularly among the elderly, who have a higher morbidity and death rate due to age-related immunological decline. Despite the availability of influenza vaccinations, coverage in Indonesia is relatively low, owing mostly to a lack of knowledge and misconceptions about the need for vaccination. This community service held in Kubu Village, Bangli, intended to increase understanding and acceptance of influenza vaccination among 50 older adults through interactive education and free vaccination services. Using the ADDIE approach, the program included organised health education, semi-structured interviews, and a systematic vaccination procedure that comprised registration, screening, immunisation, and tracking. The findings revealed more knowledge and awareness, fewer misunderstandings, and a greater desire to vaccinate among the elderly. Trust in healthcare personnel, reassurance from clear communication, and the presence of respected community figures were all important predictors of vaccination uptake. The program demonstrated that combining educational interventions with direct access to vaccination services can reduce barriers related to accessibility and uncertainty among older adults. The collaborative involvement also strengthened community engagement and facilitated smoother program implementation. These findings highlight the importance of integrating health education with practical service delivery in community settings to achieve sustainable improvements in vaccination coverage. This community service emphasises the need to integrate information, trust-building, and supportive immunization experiences to improve uptake. Community-based vaccination initiatives like this one can serve as successful models for improving influenza prevention and promoting public health resilience in resource-constrained contexts, and encourage government policies to expand vaccination among elderly.

Abstract

Adolescence is a complex transition period prone to various emotional and behavioral problems, particularly for those in boarding school environments characterized by high demands and social pressures. This study explored the application of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training to address internalizing problems among boarding school adolescents. Out of 82 adolescents surveyed, 14 students identified with internalizing problems via the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) participated in the intervention. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test scores and analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The results showed a descriptive decrease in internalizing symptoms; however, the change was statistically insignificant due to a very small effect size. These findings highlight significant implementation challenges, suggesting that while mindfulness shows potential in helping adolescents recognize and manage emotions, its integration within a boarding school setting faces constraints. To achieve more consistent and significant psychological benefits, future interventions should prioritize longer training durations, more ideal measurement intervals, and adjustments to the boarding school's rigorous schedule.

Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are central to Indonesia's rural economy, yet many still struggle with product innovation, financial management, and basic legal compliance. This community service program aimed to strengthen MSMEs in Situ Udik Village, Bogor, through integrated training on cost accounting and financial record-keeping, local product innovation using a citra karsa branding approach, and step-by-step assistance in obtaining home food industry production permits (SPP-IRT). The program used a participatory approach, comprising three main training sessions and two online monitoring and evaluation meetings. Activities included workshops on calculating the cost of goods manufactured (COGM) and break-even point (BEP), hands-on practice with simple spreadsheets, Canva-based packaging design that integrates local cultural identity, and guidance on SPP-IRT requirements and documentation. The results show that participants improved their ability to calculate COGM and BEP, prepare simple financial records, design more attractive packaging, and understand the administrative and technical steps for SPP-IRT registration. The program demonstrates that combining appropriate technology, contextualized training, and sustained mentoring can enhance MSMEs' competitiveness and readiness to access broader markets while contributing to SDGs 8, 9, and 12.
