Abstract

Desa Manggihan in Semarang Regency is an environmental education tourism village supported by culinary MSMEs providing souvenirs. However, MSME actors faced challenges in business communication, including low self-confidence, suboptimal non-verbal communication, and an inability to deliver the Unique Selling Proposition (USP) of their products. This Community Service (PKM) activity aimed to improve verbal and non-verbal business communication skills, self-confidence, and elevator pitch techniques among partners. The method used was participatory training conducted on May 20, 2026, at the Manggihan Village Hall, involving three culinary MSME actors: producers of fried cheese cassava, crispy papaya floss, and peanut brittle (gula kacang). The activity stages included needs analysis, training, elevator pitch simulation, and qualitative descriptive evaluation through participatory observation. The results showed a significant improvement across all observed aspects. The MSME actors, who were previously passive and only mentioned prices/ingredients, became proactive, demonstrated better eye contact and open body language, and successfully delivered their product's USP briefly, clearly, and compellingly. This participatory training is proven effective in strengthening partners' business communication skills to better welcome tourists.

Abstract

A building feasibility evaluation study is an important step to ensure the safety, comfort, and sustainability of building functions, especially in public service facilities. This activity was carried out at the PLN ULP Praya office building, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, which has been operating since 1985. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of building feasibility based on structural, architectural, utility, safety, and health aspects of the building. The methods used included visual inspection, field measurements, hammer tests, and analysis of the condition of building elements based on building feasibility inspection standards. The inspection results showed that the building suffered severe damage characterized by foundation subsidence, large cracks in the walls, reinforcement corrosion, concrete peeling, and damage to the roof frame. The structural strength value obtained was below the construction feasibility standard so that the building was declared structurally unfit for function. Although several supporting aspects such as lighting, drainage, and sanitation systems still functioned quite well, the damaged condition of the main structure has the potential to endanger the safety of users. Therefore, rebuilding the building structure is recommended as the safest solution to ensure the safety, stability, and sustainability of the building's function in the future.

Abstract

Suboptimal waste management has become a serious problem in local communities, even though inorganic waste has high economic potential if managed wisely. In Tegalsari Village, Ambulu Subdistrict, waste management needs to be strengthened through a financial approach. This community service activity aims to empower the economy of Tegalsari Village residents by revitalizing the management of the waste bank so that it provides direct economic value that can increase household income. The implementation of this activity was carried out through a planning phase that included program coordination meetings, the formation and revitalization of the management structure, educational outreach on the economic value of waste, and a partnership collaboration with the Karya Mandiri Jember Central Waste Bank (BSI). Furthermore, the operational implementation phase includes the sorting of inorganic waste by residents in their respective homes, weighing, recording financial transactions in customer savings books, and transporting the waste to collectors. The results of these activities demonstrate the establishment of a more organized management system and an increase in residents’ active participation in waste sorting. The profit-sharing system for customer savings from waste sales has proven effective in boosting residents’ enthusiasm, enabling the program to tangibly transform waste into income while strengthening the domestic economic resilience of the Tegalsari Village community.

Abstract

Used cooking oil and waste lubricating oil are significant environmental pollutants commonly found in vocational school workshops and households. This community service activity aimed to provide students of SMK Muhammadiyah Sempor, Kebumen, Central Java, with education on the utilization of waste oil, to enhance environmental awareness and foster creative economic skills. The method used was participatory education consisting of counseling sessions, interactive demonstrations, and hands-on practice in recycling waste oil into useful products such as lubricants, fuels, and handmade soap. A total of 30 students participated in this activity. Results indicated a significant increase in students' knowledge and awareness regarding waste oil management, with pre-test and post-test scores improving by an average of 38%. Students were also able to produce simple products from waste oil independently. The program demonstrated that integrated vocational education on waste utilization can effectively build environmental consciousness and entrepreneurial skills among students. Future activities should expand the scope of materials and include collaboration with local industry partners.

Abstract

Financial literacy is an important competency that needs to be instilled from school age so that students are able to manage their finances wisely and make responsible economic decisions. However, learning about simple financial management is still not widely introduced at the junior high school level. As a form of implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education and in order to commemorate the 79th Anniversary of the Toraja Church with the theme "Toraja Teaches for the Future Toraja Generation", a Community Service activity was carried out through the Toraja Teaches Program: Smart Shopping at SMP Negeri 1 Buntu Pepasan, North Toraja Regency. This activity aims to improve students' understanding of the concept of financial literacy, specifically in differentiating needs and wants, setting priorities, managing pocket money, and fostering responsible consumption behavior. The implementation method uses a participatory approach that includes preparation stages, identifying needs, interactive delivery of materials, simulations of pocket money management, educational games, group discussions, and evaluation through participant observation and reflection. The results of the activity showed that students participated in all series of activities enthusiastically, actively participated in discussions and simulations, and experienced an increased understanding of the importance of setting spending priorities, differentiating needs and wants, and getting used to saving from an early age. This program makes a positive contribution in improving students' basic financial literacy while strengthening collaboration between universities, the Toraja Church, and schools in forming a generation of Torajans who are intelligent, independent, and responsible.

Abstract

Sukabanjar Village is one of the villages striving to improve basic infrastructure quality, particularly in drainage construction and road repair. However, limited understanding among village officials and communities regarding standardized construction cost estimation methods, specifically the Unit Price Work Analysis (AHSP), has become an obstacle in preparing accurate and efficient Budget Plans (RAB). This community service program (PKM) aims to improve the understanding of village officials, village hall staff, and Sukabanjar Village community regarding AHSP-based construction cost estimation planning as the standard reference for construction work cost calculation in Indonesia. The program involved socialization and training for 20 participants, consisting of village officials (RW/RT), village hall staff, and general public, introducing the basic concepts of AHSP, RAB component elements, and simple simulations of drainage and road work cost calculations. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-tests. The results of the activity showed a very significant improvement in participants' understanding. The average pre-test score was 42, which then increased to 75 in the post-test, reflecting an increase of 33 points (78.6%). In conclusion, the AHSP-based cost estimation planning socialization was effective in improving the village community's understanding of construction infrastructure budget management, although continued mentoring is still needed for optimal and sustainable implementation.

Abstract

In today's rapidly developing era, advances in digital technology have brought significant changes to various fields, including the music industry. Music production processes that once relied heavily on analog equipment can now be carried out digitally through various software applications, one of which is Fruity Loops Studio (FL Studio). FL Studio is a digital music production software that is relatively easy for beginners to learn and is widely used in the creation of digital music. This technology enables individuals to create, record, edit, and produce music more efficiently without requiring expensive studio equipment. Therefore, proficiency in digital music production technology has become a relevant and essential skill for professional, educational, and creative industry purposes. Training in recording, mixing, and mastering techniques using FL Studio is one approach to enhancing the competencies of youth communities engaged in music activities. One of the target groups of this program is the K-Tong Lasiana Youth Community, a community actively involved in music creation, particularly ethnic music. However, their musical works are still primarily focused on live performances and have not been widely produced in digital recording formats due to limited knowledge and skills in digital music production. As a community service initiative, this training program is designed to equip community members with fundamental knowledge and practical skills in digital music production, enabling them to create high-quality musical works and distribute them through various digital platforms so that they can reach a broader audience.

Abstract

The rapid development of the digital era has significantly impacted adolescents by increasing academic stress due to academic demands, performance pressure, and technological distractions. This condition is often exacerbated by low levels of emotion regulation, which negatively affect students’ learning focus and psychological well-being. Therefore, effective interventions are needed to help students manage their emotions adaptively. This community service program aims to enhance emotional balance and reduce academic stress through a mindfulness-based intervention at MA Plus Nururrohmah. The program employed a participatory approach with stages of preparation, implementation, and evaluation. It was conducted in two main sessions: a mindfulness session delivered by Erlin Kurnia Sri Rejeki, M.Pd.I, and an interactive stress-release session facilitated by Estria Solihatun Nurjannah, M.Pd. Data were collected qualitatively through observation, documentation, and analysis of students’ responses and participation. The results show improved emotional awareness, better recognition of stress conditions, and increased student engagement. Additionally, students demonstrated more positive emotional states after the program. Thus, mindfulness implementation contributes positively to enhancing emotion regulation and reducing academic stress and has potential as a sustainable school-based mental health intervention model.
