Abstract

Juvenile delinquency is a social phenomenon that arises due to the complex interaction between internal and external factors in an individual's life. The phenomenon of juvenile delinquency is a serious concern because its impact is not only felt by individuals, but also by families, schools, and communities in Kalikebo Village, Dukuh Karakan and Brijokidul. This study aims to determine the factors causing juvenile delinquency and the forms of preventive efforts that can be carried out by families, schools, and the community regarding the dangers of juvenile delinquency in Kalikebo Village, especially in Dukuh Karakan and Brijokidul. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through interviews and observations. Research informants consisted of adolescents involved in delinquency, parents, and related parties in the community. The results of the study indicate that the factors causing juvenile delinquency include internal factors such as identity crises and weak self-control, as well as external factors such as lack of communication within the family, environmental influences, and peers. Positive activities such as volleyball tournaments and mutual cooperation held by KKN UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta students have proven effective in preventing juvenile delinquency by channeling energy, forming character, increasing awareness, and strengthening social relationships. This study recommends the need for collaboration between families, schools, and communities in creating an environment that supports positive adolescent development.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to analyze the effectiveness of Quranic Education Park (TPQ) at Al-Ma'ruf Mosque in strengthening children's Quranic literacy and Islamic character as a response to the challenges of Islamic education in the modern era facing rapid technological development and globalization. The method used is a participatory approach involving TPQ managers, teachers (ustadzah), parents, and students through stages of initial observation, program design, activity implementation, and evaluation that includes Quranic reading learning (tahsin, tajwid, and memorization), Islamic character habituation, tilawah classes, muroja'ah, exemplary stories, worship practice, and Islamic character habituation in daily life. The activity results show positive impacts in the form of improved Quranic reading abilities with children reading more fluently, understanding the basics of tajwid, and increasing in surah memorization; strengthening Islamic character habits where children are accustomed to giving greetings, maintaining cleanliness, praying before and after learning, and showing respect to teachers; increased learning enthusiasm with stable children's attendance and high involvement in activities; as well as full support from parents and mosque administrators. This community service activity successfully demonstrates that Quranic learning combined with Islamic character cultivation through daily habituation can improve the ability to read, understand, and practice the Quran, so that this educational model can serve as a reference for other TPQs in facing globalization challenges while maintaining a strong Islamic identity.

Abstract

Writing is a fundamental skill that is crucial in both academic and everyday life. One strategic writing skill is writing persuasive paragraphs. Persuasive paragraphs require not only the ability to construct well-formed sentences, but also the ability to construct logical, convincing, and relevant arguments. Through persuasive paragraphs, one can convey ideas more effectively, while simultaneously practicing critical thinking skills in developing reasons and supporting evidence. However, many students still struggle to compose good persuasive paragraphs. These challenges typically arise from a lack of writing practice, limited insight into argumentation techniques, and a limited understanding of the logical structure of conveying ideas. As a result, many pieces of writing are purely descriptive without incorporating elements of critical analysis or strong persuasive power. In this fast-paced and competitive digital era, persuasive writing skills are becoming increasingly important. This ability is not only useful in academic contexts, such as writing.

Abstract

Rural communities often face barriers in accessing financial knowledge and entrepreneurial opportunities, limiting their economic independence and development potential. This community service aimed to empower rural micro-entrepreneurs through integrated financial literacy and entrepreneurship training using the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach. Conducted in Desa Mekar Sari, West Bandung Regency, the program involved 30 participants in participatory workshops, mentoring, and digital entrepreneurship sessions. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and pre–post tests, and analyzed using mixed methods with Pearson correlation tests and thematic analysis. Results showed a 42% improvement in financial literacy and a strong correlation (r = 0.76) between financial knowledge and entrepreneurial competence. Participants demonstrated better budgeting, record-keeping, and digital marketing skills, alongside stronger collaboration through a community-based entrepreneurship forum. The study concludes that PRA-based empowerment effectively bridges knowledge and practice, fostering sustainable local entrepreneurship. This program contributes to the discourse on participatory, inclusive, and digital-based rural economic empowerment.

Abstract

This community service was motivated by the need to improve the cross-cultural competence of vocational school students so they can adapt to global demands, particularly in the context of interaction with Chinese culture, which is increasingly dominant in the tourism and creative economy sectors. The main objective of this service was to strengthen students' understanding of Chinese culture and cross-cultural communication skills through an Asset-Based Community-Driven Development (ABCD) approach that emphasizes the use of local school assets as a foundation for capacity building. The service methods included asset mapping, participatory training, interactive practice, and pre-post evaluation to measurably see improvements in student competency. The results of the service showed significant improvements in cultural understanding, active student participation, and their ability to integrate Chinese cultural values ​​into learning situations and tourism service simulations. Correlation analysis also confirmed a strong relationship between the level of student engagement and their learning outcomes. The conclusion of this service is that the ABCD approach is effective in building relevant, participatory, and meaningful cultural learning for vocational students. The main contribution of this activity lies in strengthening students' multicultural readiness and providing a service model that can be replicated in other vocational education contexts in Indonesia.

Data were collected through observation, interviews, focus group discussions, and pre- and post-tests, and analyzed using qualitative analysis and correlation testing. The results showed significant improvement in teachers’ digital competence, pedagogical creativity, and students’ engagement, with a strong positive correlation (r = 0.81) between digital literacy and teaching quality. The program concluded that participatory mentoring fosters teacher empowerment, pedagogical transformation, and sustainability of technology use in remote education. The contribution of this project lies in its model of contextual, participatory, and sustainable digital empowerment for rural teachers.

Abstract

Women’s empowerment remains a central challenge in community development, particularly in rural settings where limited access to education, economic resources, and leadership opportunities constrains women’s potential. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen women’s capacity through integrated skill development and leadership training based on the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach. The program involved 35 women in Desa Sukamakmur over six months, engaging them in participatory mapping, focus group discussions, workshops, and peer mentoring sessions. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and pre-post assessments, then analyzed using mixed methods, including descriptive statistics, thematic analysis, and correlation tests. The findings showed a significant increase in participants’ entrepreneurship skills and leadership confidence, supported by a strong correlation between skill acquisition and leadership capacity (r = 0.71, p < 0.01). Qualitatively, women demonstrated greater confidence, collaboration, and participation in community decision-making. The program concluded that combining practical skills with leadership empowerment fosters sustainable, community-led transformation. Its contribution lies in providing a replicable model of participatory women’s empowerment that bridges economic independence and social leadership.
