<![CDATA[This community service program aims to improve financial literacy and technical skills of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Parit Tokaya Village, South Pontianak through accounting digitalization training. Based on initial observations, most MSMEs in this area have not used a digital financial recording system and still rely on unsystematic manual methods. The training was conducted with a participatory approach and direct practice using a simple accounting application that can be accessed via the participant's smartphone device. Evaluation of the training results was carried out through pre-test and post-test instruments, which showed a significant increase in participants' understanding and skills in managing business finances. Practice-based training methods have proven effective in increasing participant engagement and understanding. In addition, the impact of the training can be seen from changes in participant behavior who have started recording daily transactions and preparing cash flow reports periodically. Challenges in implementation remain, limited devices, internet connections, and resistance to change from older participants. To maintain the sustainability of the training results, a learning community was formed and digital ambassadors were appointed from the most active participants. This program is expected to be a replication model for other regions in an effort to strengthen the digital transformation of MSMEs. This activity not only provides individual capacity building, but also contributes to the development of a more adaptive and technology-based local economic ecosystem. Cross-sector collaboration between universities, government, and local communities is key to supporting the sustainability of this kind of community service program.]]>

<![CDATA[Malnutrition and low nutrition literacy among school-aged children remain significant public health challenges in Indonesia, including in Rangkasbitung, Banten. This community service initiative, the Healthy Kids Program: Improving Children's Nutritional Awareness Through Interactive Learning, aimed to enhance children's understanding of balanced nutrition and foster healthy eating behaviors through engaging, interactive methods. The program employed educational games, simulations, and discussions to encourage active participation, complemented by the involvement of parents and teachers to reinforce learning outcomes at home and in the school environment. A pre-test and post-test were conducted to measure changes in children's knowledge, with results indicating a substantial increase in understanding of balanced nutrition and healthy food choices, rising from an average of 47% to 83%. Additionally, the program provided educational materials to schools, supporting the sustainability of nutrition education initiatives in the community. The findings align with evidence highlighting the effectiveness of interactive and community-based approaches in improving nutrition literacy and promoting healthy dietary practices among children. By building local capacity and aligning with public health goals, the Healthy Kids Program demonstrates its potential as a scalable and replicable model for addressing malnutrition challenges in similar contexts. This initiative underscores the importance of integrating interactive learning with family and community engagement to support the development of healthy lifestyles among school-aged children, contributing to broader efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goals related to child health and education.]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertension is a major health issue among older adults and is often referred to as a silent killer due to its asymptomatic progression. Community health cadres play a key role in delivering basic health services, yet their knowledge of hypertension prevention is often limited. This community engagement program aimed to enhance cadre knowledge and skills through structured health education and physical activity interventions. The methods included lectures, interactive discussions, pre- and post-tests, and direct mentoring in senior exercise sessions implemented under the SABTUA (Saturday Activities with Older Adults) program. Pre-test results revealed that most cadres demonstrated very low knowledge levels (83.3%). After the intervention, post-test results showed significant improvement, with 66.6% in the good category and 33.3% in the excellent category. The SABTUA program also received positive responses from older adults, reflected in the increasing number of participants at each session. These findings demonstrate that a combination of health education and structured physical activity can improve both cadre awareness and older adults’ participation in hypertension prevention. Sustained support from local governance is essential to ensure the program’s long-term impact on improving the quality of life of older adults.]]>

<![CDATA[This community engagement initiative was carried out through collaboration between a religious service organization responsible for pilgrimage operations and faculty members from a digital business study program at a public university. The program was motivated by the organization’s challenges in managing its social media content, which included unstructured information flow, inconsistent distribution, and suboptimal visual design. The intervention involved a structured mentoring process covering content documentation, content creation, and news script development. The results demonstrated a noticeable improvement in social media engagement, reflected in higher interaction and responsiveness from the audience. Indirectly, the activity also enhanced the quality of service delivery by ensuring that information for the families of pilgrims was communicated more quickly, clearly, and reliably. These outcomes highlight the value of collaborative capacity-building in digital communication for public and religious service organizations. The study contributes practical insights into how community-based interventions can strengthen digital media strategies to support transparency, trust, and service quality in the era of digital information.]]>

<![CDATA[The Griya SIPAKABERU (Integrated Healthy Village Program) is a community engagement initiative designed to enhance maternal and child health services by strengthening the competence of community health volunteers (posyandu cadres). The program focused on training in child growth monitoring, nutrition education, and appropriate parenting practices as preventive measures against stunting. The methods included pre-tests, participatory lectures, hands-on practice through the SIPATUA (Child Growth Monitoring Attitude) framework, and post-tests for evaluation. Results indicated a significant improvement in cadres’ knowledge: prior to the intervention, most were categorized as low to very low, while post-intervention assessments showed the majority achieving high to very high scores. In addition to knowledge gains, cadres demonstrated improved skills in providing nutrition education and monitoring child growth. Challenges included limited rural health infrastructure and low parental awareness regarding child nutrition. The Griya SIPAKABERU program has proven effective in strengthening community health volunteer capacity and supporting stunting prevention in rural communities. Sustained infrastructure support and cross-sectoral collaboration are required to ensure program continuity and scalability.]]>

<![CDATA[This community engagement program aims to enhance digital literacy and digital ethics among Generation Z, particularly high school students in grades XI and XII in Wonomulyo, in response to the complex challenges of the information era. As digital naives, Generation Z has broad access to technology but often lacks the critical and ethical skills necessary for responsible digital media use. This program was designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to use digital platforms wisely, safely, and ethically through participatory and experiential learning methods. The implementation included socialization sessions, interactive workshops, case simulations, group discussions, and student-led digital campaigns. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ conceptual understanding, critical thinking abilities, and ethical awareness in navigating digital content. Participants also displayed strong enthusiasm in formulating a digital code of ethics and raising collective awareness about the dangers of misinformation, cyberbullying, and negative digital footprints. With active support from school officials and facilitators, the program effectively fostered responsible digital citizenship. It is hoped that this initiative can be sustainably replicated within the school environment and further developed as part of a character education curriculum rooted in digital competence. Strengthening digital literacy and ethics is a crucial step in preparing young generations to face global challenges wisely and ethically.]]>

<![CDATA[Rural communities often face challenges in maintaining health due to limited access to healthcare services and low awareness of healthy lifestyles. One potential solution is the utilization of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) as an accessible, community-based disease prevention strategy. This community engagement activity was implemented through the Griya SIPAKABERU Environmental Health Program, aiming to improve community knowledge and skills in identifying, processing, and utilizing TOGA. The methods included interactive education sessions through lectures, group discussions, and hands-on practice on plant types, health benefits, and processing techniques. Evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-tests with 13 respondents, including housewives and village health cadres. Results indicated a significant improvement in average scores from 54.84 to 91.23, representing a 55% increase. Participants also expressed strong enthusiasm for cultivating TOGA in their home gardens as a form of self-care and preventive health practice. The program effectively enhanced community awareness and understanding of TOGA utilization while promoting health independence based on local resources. Sustained support from village authorities and cross-sector collaboration is essential to ensure the long-term impact of the program on rural health and community well-being.]]>

<![CDATA[This community service program aims to improve women workers' understanding of labor rights and reproductive health in the industrial environment of Sidoarjo Regency, East Java. The method used was participatory action research (PAR) involving 80 core participants representing women's organizations, labor unions, and CSR units of local industrial companies. The activities were carried out through interactive lectures, group discussions, case simulations, and role-plays designed to address the limitations of legal and health literacy among women workers. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge, from an average pre-test score of 56.4 to 87.6 in the post-test, an increase of 31.2 points. In addition, this activity also identified key issues, namely low understanding of labor rights, the lack of reproductive health facilities in the workplace, and the socio-cultural stigma that makes reproductive issues considered taboo. To ensure the program's sustainability, the Sidoarjo Women's Workers Forum was established as a cross-organizational advocacy platform focused on promoting workers' rights, advocating for the provision of lactation rooms, and strengthening gender advocacy units within labor unions. Overall, this activity successfully achieved more than 90% of its target outputs and made a significant contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the areas of gender equality and decent work. The implication of this activity is the need for similar programs to be replicated in other industrial areas with multi-stakeholder support to strengthen the protection of women workers' rights in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[Cases of sexual abuse against women and children in Maros Regency remain high and have a serious impact on the mental health of victims, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (DP3A) has so far only focused on data collection, so it does not yet have a sustainable trauma recovery intervention method. This community service program implements Acceptance-Based Behavioral Therapy (ABBT) as an alternative solution. ABBT emphasizes acceptance, mindfulness training, and behavioral activation to improve the psychological flexibility and well-being of victims. The program implementation includes initial assessment using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), training for DP3A facilitators, victim assistance, and the use of the EmbraceU digital application as a supporting medium. The results of the activity show an increase in the capacity of facilitators in understanding and applying ABBT, as well as an improvement in the psychological condition of victims, marked by a decrease in symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. Victims also began to show courage in socializing and motivation to return to school. This program strengthens the institutional capacity of DP3A in trauma recovery services and provides an effective and sustainable intervention model for the protection of women and children.]]>

<![CDATA[This community service is focused on improving students' listening and memory skills through the implementation of an educational "chain whisper" game integrated with local wisdom. The background for this activity is the urgent need to strengthen students' listening and memory abilities amidst a lack of interactive learning methods that are relevant to the cultural context. It uses a participatory and educational approach in several stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The main results show that this approach successfully generated student enthusiasm, encouraged active participation, and significantly improved their ability to listen for details and their memory for the information conveyed. In addition, this activity also helped foster students' appreciation for local cultural heritage and noble values. It is concluded that the chain whisper game rooted in local wisdom is an effective and enjoyable method for developing students' listening and memory skills while also preserving culture.]]>
