Pemberdayaan Ibu PKK melalui Pengolahan Residu Cocofiber menjadi Coco Pot Ramah Lingkungan di Desa Kedayunan
Cocofiber residue from cocopeat processing in Kedayunan Village has not been productively processed because PKK members have limited access to simple processing technology. This program aimed to strengthen participants' capacity to produce eco-friendly coco pots. Participatory training and mentoring were conducted on 6 May 2026 with 25 participants, covering needs identification, environmental education, wire frame fabrication, cocofiber arrangement, finishing, and evaluation. Data were collected through observation, documentation, a 10-item pretest–posttest, and a five-criterion skills rubric. The mean knowledge score increased from 88% to 96%, an increase of 8 percentage points. More importantly, participants converted prior knowledge into practical experience and collectively produced 28 cylindrical prototypes with a diameter of approximately 17 cm. The main constraints were inconsistent frame dimensions, uneven fiber density, and inconsistent surface finishing. Verified short-term outcomes included improved understanding, basic product-making skills, and working prototypes; economic and environmental impacts have not yet been measured. Follow-up actions should prioritize product standardization, durability testing, cost calculation, branding, and local marketing through PKK networks and village institutions.

Strengthening Construction, Asset Management, and Revitalization of Social Infrastructure at TPST 3R Gadingkulon
Community-based waste management systems in developing economies often suffer from fragmented asset governance, reactive maintenance, and underutilized social infrastructure, limiting operational efficiency and sustainability. This study addresses these inefficiencies through a community service intervention at TPST 3R Gading Kulon, Malang City, integrating construction asset management with social infrastructure revitalization. The program adopts a socio-technical systems perspective, repositioning infrastructure as both a functional asset and a platform for community empowerment. The intervention included infrastructure reconfiguration, systematic asset inventory, standardized maintenance protocols, and accountable financial-asset recording systems. Results show significant improvements in infrastructure functionality, asset traceability, and governance quality, while reactivated educational spaces, meeting areas, and waste bank facilities strengthened community participation. The study proposes a scalable, integrative model linking technical asset governance with socio-economic outcomes, supporting SDG 9, SDG 11, and Indonesia's RPJMN 2025–2029.

Mangrove Planting and Blue Economy Education as an Effort to Preserve Coastal Ecosystems on Pari Island, Thousand Islands
Mangrove ecosystems play a strategic role in protecting coastlines from abrasion, supporting biodiversity, and mitigating climate change through blue carbon storage. Environmental pressures have degraded mangroves across Indonesia's coasts, including Pari Island, where observations revealed mild abrasion, declining vegetation, and limited understanding of blue economy-based conservation. This activity aimed to raise environmental awareness and support coastal rehabilitation through mangrove planting and blue economy education on Pari Island, Seribu Islands, in collaboration with Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi Indonesia Jakarta, Indonesia Blue Economy, and Maritim Muda Indonesia. A participatory approach was applied, comprising environmental outreach, blue economy education, planting technique training, and direct planting. Forty-seven participants planted 500 Rhizophora mucronata seedlings, and the average score increased from 61.5 (pre-test) to 87.3 (post-test). Beyond improving knowledge of mangrove functions and blue economy concepts, the activity strengthened collaboration among universities, environmental communities, and local residents for sustainable coastal development. These findings indicate that combining education with field action can raise awareness and support coastal rehabilitation.

Implementasi Pembelajaran Al-Qur'an Metode Ummi untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Bacaan Tartil Siswa: Studi Kasus di SDII Luqman Al-Hakim 01 Batam
The quality of Al-Qur'an recitation is often hindered by non-ideal teacher-student ratios and low student focus. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Ummi method to improve students' tartil skills at SDII Luqman Al Hakim 01 Batam through the School-Based Internship (PLP) program. The research follows a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data were gathered through participant observation and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the presence of internship students helps maintain a proportional teacher-student ratio (1:11), allowing for more intensive guidance. The systematic application of the seven stages of the Ummi method shows improvements in makhraj accuracy and student fluency. Furthermore, modifications to the seating arrangement proved effective in minimizing focus distractions, which directly correlates with the progress recorded in students' achievement books. This study concludes that standardized methodology, systemic school support, and adaptive classroom management are essential factors in optimizing students' tartil recitation skills.

Pelatihan Penggunaan Chatbot Berbasis AI untuk Konsultasi Keuangan Usaha secara Mandiri
Dependence on professional financial consultants remains a persistent barrier for most SME owners, particularly those operating with limited resources and minimal exposure to formal financial education. The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created a concrete opportunity to address this gap — not through expensive systems, but through accessible tools such as AI-based chatbots. This community service program was designed to strengthen financial literacy and business self-reliance among SME owners through structured training on AI chatbot usage as a financial consultation medium. The program was carried out in three stages: training sessions, direct hands-on practice, and guided mentoring. A pre-test and post-test assessment was administered to measure knowledge gains across four indicators — financial literacy, AI concept comprehension, chatbot operation skills, and financial decision-making. Results show substantial improvement across all indicators, with the sharpest gains recorded in chatbot operation (114%) and AI comprehension (95%). Participants also reported greater confidence in managing daily financial records and making structured business decisions. These findings suggest that AI-based chatbot training is a viable, low-cost approach to accelerating the digital shift of SMEs in Indonesia.

Peningkatan Pendidikan Karakter untuk Anak-Anak Pekerja Migran Indonesia di Penang, Malaysia
Children of Indonesian migrant workers in Penang Island, Malaysia face some challenges in accessing decent and sustainable education. This study aims to analyze efforts to improve basic competencies as a strategy to develop their scientific capacity. This study focuses on two main aspects in improving educational character, such as religious and national knowledge. Improving religious competencies is through learning Islamic values and worship practices. This aims to form a strong religious character in a multicultural environment. Furthermore, efforts to improve national competencies are implemented through educational history, nationalist values, and introduction to Indonesian culture so that children continue to have a sense of love for their homeland. The results refer to a systematic educational approach based on the needs of migrant worker children so that they can significantly improve their basic competencies. Therefore, education for migrant worker children does not only function as a means of transferring knowledge but as a strategy to strengthen their identity, social integration, and future opportunities either nationally and internationally.

Edukasi Konservasi Mangrove sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Kesadaran Lingkungan Masyarakat Pulau Pari
Mangrove ecosystems play an important role in maintaining the balance of coastal environments and sustaining the livelihoods of communities living in coastal areas. However, limited public awareness of the ecological functions and benefits of mangroves has repeatedly contributed to coastal environmental degradation. This community service program aimed to strengthen the environmental awareness of Pari Island residents, Thousand Islands, through a mangrove conservation education program. A participatory approach was employed by directly involving the community in various educational activities and conservation practices. The main activities included environmental outreach on the importance of mangrove ecosystems, group discussions on mangrove conservation efforts, and mangrove planting along the coastline. A total of 35 participants consisting of local residents, fishermen, and youth groups took part in this program. Evaluation was conducted through observation, interviews, and pre-test and post-test questionnaires to measure changes in participants' knowledge and awareness regarding mangrove conservation. The results demonstrated a measurable improvement in participants' understanding of mangrove functions and benefits following the education program. The program also encouraged community participation in coastal conservation efforts and fostered collective awareness of the importance of sustaining mangrove ecosystems. Community-based participatory education programs of this nature warrant serious consideration as a strategy for supporting sustainable mangrove conservation in coastal areas.

Implementasi Sistem Informasi Desa Berbasis NIK untuk Transformasi Layanan Administrasi dan Tanggap Bencana di Desa Mata Mamplam
Mata Mamplam Village faces persistent limitations in managing population administration, accessing public information, and coordinating disaster response — all of which are still handled manually, making services slow and prone to error. This community service program was designed to build and deploy a website-based Village Information System (SID) as a digital solution that addresses these specific, documented needs. The approach taken was needs-based service, involving village officials and community representatives through in-depth interviews and direct observation. The program ran through four sequential stages: needs analysis, system development, operator mentoring, and functional evaluation using black-box testing. The resulting system was built on the Next.js 14 framework with a PostgreSQL database, covering five main modules: population administration digitization based on National Identity Number (NIK) with automated PDF letter generation, public information transparency, disaster response management linked to BMKG data, a digital MSME catalog, and a no-code self-management feature. Black-box testing across all ten functional scenarios returned a 100% pass rate, and village operators demonstrated the ability to run and manage the system independently after the mentoring sessions. The deployment has measurably shifted village administrative services toward faster, more accurate, and more responsive operations.

Pemanfaatan Origami dan Mural Pohon Semangat untuk Menguatkan Resiliensi Belajar di Sanggar Lentera Anak Bali
Marginalized children are prone to developing a fixed mindset that hinders their learning persistence. This community service program aimed to strengthen the learning resilience of children at Sanggar Lentera Anak Bali through swan origami activities and a Pohon Semangat (Spirit Tree) mural. Using a descriptive participatory design, 20 participants aged 7–17 engaged in a two-hour session consisting of growth mindset psychoeducation, a structured failure simulation through origami folding, collaborative games, and commitment mural creation. Observational, interview, and documentation data were analyzed thematically. Results indicated that 90% of children shifted their verbal response from "I cannot" to "I cannot yet," as measured by the frequency of positive affirmation use following the failure simulation, alongside a notable increase in independent task persistence. The mural served as a sustained visual affirmation that supported children's self-regulation. The combination of visual-kinesthetic media, local cultural values, and a social justice orientation proved effective in building children's learning resilience, with direct relevance to SDG 4 (Quality Education) and the 5th Principle of Pancasila.

Transformasi Edukasi Keuangan melalui Metode Gamifikasi bagi Siswa SDN 11 Pemecutan Denpasar
In the face of increasing financial complexity, providing elementary school students with fundamental financial literacy knowledge has become more imperative. Financial literacy is an essential life skill, but traditional teaching methods may not capture student's attention. This community service project sought to improve financial literacy among students at SDN 11 Pemecutan, Denpasar, through the gamification method "LIFIN" (Literacy Financial) using the PALAR (Participatory Action Learning and Action Research) approach. A total of 65 sixth-grade students participated. A pre-test was conducted one week prior with 54 students, while 39 completed the post-test two months later. Analysis of the 39 matched students showed an improvement in correct answers from 51% to 84.6%, and 71.8% showed high engagement with gamification, proving that game-based financial literacy education provides an interactive and effective learning experience. SDN 11 Pemecutan has committed to adopting "LIFIN" regularly across all grade levels.

Pengembangan Potensi Komoditas Mawar sebagai Kreasi Berkelanjutan pada Aspek Ekonomi Kreatif Desa Karangpring
Rose cultivation in Karangpring Village, Jember Regency, has long been trapped in a low-value commodity chain — sold as fresh cut flowers for grave ceremonies, with farmers earning well below the regional minimum wage. This community service program addresses that gap by applying a creative economy approach to transform raw rose commodities into marketable food and non-food products, including rose syrup, rose jam, bakpia, reed diffusers, and aromatherapy candles. The program was carried out through Focus Group Discussions (FGD), hands-on production training, and structured mentoring sessions with the Women Farmers Community (Kelompok Wanita Tani), covering product development, brand identity, and digital marketing through platforms such as Shopee and Instagram. Beyond product diversification, the program pursued a broader objective: building a self-sustaining creative economy community under village government oversight, capable of managing production, distribution, and market expansion independently. Outcomes indicate a positive shift in community capacity, with consistent participation across five to ten sessions and early market traction through repeat orders at the local level. The program also contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the areas of economic welfare, commodity literacy, and responsible resource use. Scaling this initiative from a community unit to a full creative industry will require strategic investment and partnership — a challenge that remains open.

Edukasi dan Penerapan Teknologi Sederhana Infused Water Halal Berbasis Buah dan Sayur untuk Mendukung Hidrasi dan Asupan Antioksidan pada Siswa MA Asshodiqiyah
Students' health and physical fitness serve as essential foundations for achieving optimal learning outcomes. Nevertheless, many adolescents, particularly those enrolled in Islamic senior high schools (Madrasah Aliyah), have not yet established healthy hydration habits or sufficient intake of natural antioxidants. Inadequate fluid consumption and exposure to free radicals may adversely affect concentration, immune function, and long-term health status. This community service initiative aimed to enhance students' knowledge and skills regarding the importance of proper hydration and the role of antioxidants, as well as to promote healthy lifestyle practices through the preparation of infused water. The program was conducted in December 2025 and involved 21 eleventh-grade students at MA Asshodiqiyah. The methods employed included interactive educational sessions and hands-on practice in preparing infused water. Program effectiveness was evaluated using a pre-test and post-test design with multiple-choice assessment instruments. The findings revealed an 80% increase in the average knowledge scores following the intervention, and all participants (100%) were able to independently prepare infused water. This initiative not only improved students' cognitive understanding but also developed practical skills that may contribute to sustainable behavioral changes toward healthy hydration habits and natural antioxidant consumption both at school and at home.
