Strengthening Digital Competence of Elementary School Teachers and Students through Technology Education and Training Activities in Ponco Kresno Village, Negeri Katon District, Pesawaran Regency
The transformation of children's education through the utilization of information technology has become a significant phenomenon in the development of education in the digital era. The lack of technological understanding and the limited information technology instruction provided by schools represent increasingly pressing issues in this digital age. In an environment where technology is progressively integrated into daily life, children with limited technological knowledge may face disparities in access to information, educational opportunities, and the capacity to participate in an increasingly digitally connected society. To address this, it is essential to enhance digital competencies for both teachers and students through educational programs and technology training. The implementation methods used in this activity are the lecture method for delivering basic concepts and information technology theory, the demonstration method to show the operation of applications directly, and the hands-on practice method. The results of the activity indicate a significant improvement in digital competence, both in terms of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in operating software and utilizing technology for learning and self-development needs.

Introduction to English Vocabulary Through the Implementation of the Singing Based Method for Children at Saint Don Bosco Catholic Kindergarten Mataram
This community engagement program aims to introduce English vocabulary to kindergarten students by using songs and singing as an enjoyable learning method. This activity was initiated to foster an interactive and enjoyable learning atmosphere for early childhood learners. Singing was selected as the instructional method because songs can increase young EFL learners’ motivation and encourage their active participation in English learning. The singing-based method was implemented through nine stages, namely: (1) identification of the learning theme, (2) song planning, (3) preparation of learning media, (4) opening activity, (5) vocabulary introduction, (6) main singing-based activity, (7) vocabulary reinforcement, (8) simple evaluation, and (9) closing activity. The vocabulary introduction activity employed a singing-based approach using modified lyrics adapted from the song My Finger Family. The lyrics were modified to the learning theme, My Needs, and accompanied by simple gestures to facilitate natural vocabulary acquisition among young learners. The findings of this activity indicated improvements in children’s ability to retain new vocabulary, increased enthusiasm for learning, and higher levels of active participation in group singing activities. The results further suggest that the implementation of the singing-based method is effective in sustaining children's attention and fostering a positive and engaging learning atmosphere. Overall, the activity confirmed that the singing-based method is an effective, engaging, and age-appropriate instructional approach for enhancing children's acquisition of basic English vocabulary. The program is recommended for sustained integration into daily classroom activities in kindergarten settings to support children's English vocabulary development.

Strengthening Financial Planning Competencies among High School Students: A Community Engagement Program at SMA Edu Global Bandung
The rapid growth of digital financial services has increased adolescents’ access to a range of financial products, including digital payments, e-wallets, and buy-now-pay-later services. However, this increased access is not always accompanied by adequate financial planning competencies, which can expose students to poor financial decision-making and consumerist behavior. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen students' financial planning competencies at SMA Edu Global Bandung through financial literacy education, practical budgeting exercises, financial planning workshops, and training in digital financial record-keeping using the Sepran Expense Manager application. The program involved approximately 150 students from Grades X, XI, and XII. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments administered to students who completed both questionnaires. The results indicate improvements across all financial planning indicators, particularly in understanding personal financial management, budgeting, and saving practices. Students also demonstrated greater awareness of the difference between needs and wants, of controlling impulsive spending, and of utilizing digital tools to support financial management. The findings suggest that combining financial literacy education with experiential learning activities can effectively improve students’ financial planning competencies and promote more responsible financial behavior. The program highlights the importance of integrating practical financial planning education into school-based student development activities to prepare adolescents for increasingly complex digital financial environments.

Islamic Heritage Site: Up-Scaling Halal Tourism with Augmented Reality Technology at Sunan Giri Pilgrimage in Gresik
The pilgrimage of Wali Songo, especially the Tomb of Sunan Giri in Gresik, is a religious tourist destination with millions of visits per year that holds extraordinary economic and spiritual potential. However, the method of conveying historical information is still conventional and limited. The Community Service Program (Abdimas) aims to develop an Augmented Reality (AR)-based mobile application platform that integrates three main focuses: (1) visualization of the historical site of the Sunan Giri Tomb and the Giri Kedaton Kingdom in three dimensions; (2) a digital directory of MSMEs and geospatial-based local products; and (3) transportation and accommodation guides for pilgrims. The implementation method uses a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach for six months, involving collaboration between Telkom University, Muhammadiyah Gresik University (UMG), Giri Village Government, and Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis). The results of the evaluation showed an increase in visitor engagement by 47%, understanding of historical content increased by 62%, and the turnover of partner MSMEs increased by an average of 35%. AR applications have succeeded in encouraging the organic viral marketing ecosystem through social media sharing content. This program emphasizes that AR technology is able to be a bridge between the preservation of Islamic historical heritage and the acceleration of sustainable digital halal tourism in the Society 5.0 era.

Prevention and resolution of land conflicts in the community in Suka Makmur Village
Land is a fundamental element with economic and social dimensions that are often a source of conflict due to the imbalance between the rule of positive Law (law in books) and practice in society (law in action). In Suka Makmur Village, low legal literacy and a strong tradition of underhand transactions create legal vulnerabilities and make land a "dead capital" (dead capital). This activity aims to increase public understanding of the importance of land certification through the complete systematic land registration (PTSL) program and provide basic skills in non-litigation dispute resolution. The implementation uses a participatory approach that combines normative and sociological aspects through three stages: (1) observation and identification of conflict typology; (2) socialization and legal education; and (3) Discussion and clinical consultation in the form of surgical cases of citizens ' land documents. It was found that the dominant conflicts in the village were boundary disputes and inheritance disputes. This activity succeeded in changing the public's perception of land certification, which was originally considered expensive, into an economical preventive measure. Prevention is carried out through strengthening the understanding of the principle of Contradictoire Delimitatie (mutual delimitation), while dispute resolution is directed at village mediation mechanisms that are seen as more humanistic and effective in maintaining social cohesion than litigation channels. The synergy between citizens ' legal awareness, Village Administrative Order, and the use of government programs (PTSL) is the main key in mitigating and resolving land disputes in a sustainable manner.

Peningkatan Literasi Keuangan Siswa SMA melalui Program Edukasi sebagai Upaya Mengurangi Perilaku Konsumtif
The lack of financial literacy among the younger generation is a serious obstacle to realizing the vision of Indonesia's Golden Generation 2045. Increasingly easy access to digital financial services, the proliferation of electronic transactions, and the increasing willingness to borrow make teenagers vulnerable to consumer behavior and poor financial decision-making. This phenomenon emphasizes the urgency of instilling financial literacy education starting in secondary education. This community service activity was held to strengthen students' knowledge and understanding of wise financial management through a financial literacy education program at SMA Edu Global, Bandung City. The method used was interactive counseling that included a pre-test, material presentation, discussion sessions, educational games, a post-test, and participant satisfaction evaluation. This activity was attended by 136 students, and the results showed a significant increase in answer scores from 400 points in the pre-test to 412 points in the post-test. In addition, a satisfaction survey recorded that 71.25% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that this activity was beneficial, the material was easy to understand, and it was worth holding regularly. These findings confirm that financial literacy education effectively strengthens participants' basic understanding of financial management while building awareness of the importance of responsible financial behavior. It is recommended that such programs be implemented on an ongoing basis as part of efforts to improve the financial literacy of the younger generation.

Legal education and land mediation as an effort to build legal certainty on border land in Dembe I Village
Border Land Management in coastal areas often presents juridical and social problems, including in Dembe I Village, Gorontalo City. Communities in this region face uncertainty about the legal status of the boundary land they occupy, although some have pocketed title certificates. The lack of legal understanding, the absence of village mediation institutions, and overlapping land administration add to the complexity of the problem. The thematic real work lecture (KKN) Program Phase II of Gorontalo State University was implemented to respond to these problems through a participatory and collaborative approach. The methods taken include legal counseling with the National Land Agency and the Faculty of law, citizen dialogue forums, participatory mapping, and the preparation of operational standards for land mediation procedures. The results of the activity showed an increase in Community Legal Literacy, the birth of critical awareness about the differences in formal rights and functions of space, as well as the drafting of mediation SOP documents as a local instrument for non-litigation dispute resolution. The conclusion of this activity confirms that the law can be presented in a communicative way to bridge the interests of the state in maintaining protected areas with the rights of communities in maintaining living space. This finding also implies that the model of service based on participatory legal education can be replicated in other coastal areas facing similar problems

Education Assistance and Legal Consultation Related to Community Legal Protection in Digital Transactions
The development of digital technology has encouraged the increasing use of electronic transactions in various walks of life, including in rural areas. However, the rapid utilization of digital transactions has not been balanced with an adequate level of public understanding of the law, causing various legal risks such as online fraud, misuse of personal data, and legal uncertainty in electronic agreements. This community service activity aims to improve the legal literacy of the community through educational assistance and legal consultation related to legal protection in digital transactions. The method used is in the form of legal counseling and direct consultation held in Mekar Jaya village, Duhiadaa District, Pohuwato Regency, involving village officials and the general public. The results of the activities show that the public has been actively using digital transaction services, but still has a limited understanding of the legal rights and obligations as digital consumers. Through practical and contextual education, people are beginning to understand the importance of personal data protection, the validity of electronic agreements, and dispute resolution mechanisms in digital transactions. This legal assistance and consultation proved to be effective in increasing the legal awareness of the public and strengthening their position in facing the risks of digital transactions. This activity is expected to contribute to creating a secure, fair, and equitable digital transaction ecosystem, as well as being a model for sustainable legal service in the era of digital transformation.

Community-based WASH and CERIA-PHBS Model for Post-Flood Health Recovery in Rural Aceh
This community engagement program was implemented in Lawet Village, West Aceh, a flood-prone rural area severely affected by the November 26, 2025 disaster, which resulted in environmental degradation, limited access to safe water, inadequate sanitation facilities, low adoption of clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS), and the absence of safe educational spaces for children. The program aimed to improve post-disaster community health resilience through an integrated community-based approach combining Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) interventions with the CERIA-PHBS (Cerdas, Edukatif, Interaktif, dan Aman) model. The program was conducted through five stages: socialization, participatory assessment, technology implementation, mentoring and evaluation, and sustainability planning. Key interventions included the installation of a community-based clean water system, provision of ≥10 portable handwashing stations (CTPS), health education for families, and the establishment of a child-friendly educational space. A pre–post descriptive evaluation was used to assess changes in knowledge and behavior. The results showed significant improvements, including increased access to clean water, improved PHBS practices from approximately 25% to ≥70%, enhanced community knowledge, and strengthened capacity of ≥10 health cadres. In addition, more than 60 children participated in CERIA-PHBS activities, with improved hygiene behavior and psychosocial well-being. This integrated model demonstrates effectiveness in accelerating post-flood health recovery and offers a scalable and sustainable approach for disaster-prone rural communities.

Community Outreach and FGD for Women MSE Empowerment: Entrepreneurial Orientation, Financing Access, and Halal Certification
Women-owned Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) play a strategic role in local economic development, yet face persistent challenges including limited managerial capacity, restricted access to financing, and low awareness of halal certification as a competitive strategy. This community service program aimed to enhance the understanding of MSE performance determinants, foster entrepreneurial orientation, and increase halal certification adoption intent among women MSE entrepreneurs in Cibinong, Bogor Regency. The program was delivered through outreach sessions and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving 25 women MSE entrepreneurs selected through purposive and snowball sampling. Pre-test and post-test evaluations were administered to measure knowledge gains and behavioral intent. Results demonstrated significant improvements: prior to the program, only 16% of participants held halal certification and 76% lacked systematic understanding of business performance factors. Following the intervention, 88% expressed intent to obtain halal certification and all participants successfully identified key MSE growth factors including entrepreneurial orientation, owner capacity, human resource quality, social capital, financing access, and government support. Collective strategic recommendations were also formulated through the FGD. These findings confirm that informational barriers—rather than lack of motivation—are the primary obstacle to MSE improvement, and that community-based outreach combined with participatory discussion is an effective empowerment approach.

Gamification for Young Learners: Transforming Motivation and English Language Skills through Collaborative-Competitive Learning among Junior High School Students at SMPN 5 Sungailiat- Bangka Belitung
The development of digital technology has significantly influenced and changed the current educational practices, particularly language learning and instruction. However, English instruction at the Indonesian junior secondary school level continues to be predominantly teacher-dominated and frequently provides limited opportunities for interactive, student-centered engagement. A mixed-method approach was applied, including classroom observations, student questionnaires, as well as reflective discussions to examine the impact of the program. Purpose of the Study: This community service was designed to improve students’ learning motivation and English language competencies through the application of gamification-oriented collaborative-competitive learning. The program was carried out at SMP Negeri 5 Sungailiat, Bangka Belitung, involving 30 junior high school students participating in a series of interactive digital games, team-based activities, and point-based competitions integrated into English lessons focusing on past tense structures. Methods: A mixed-method approach was applied, including classroom observations, student questionnaires, as well as reflective discussions to examine the impact of the program. Results: The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ learning motivation, classroom participation, and vocabulary development related to past tense usage. The integration of collaborative and competitive gamification elements created a supportive yet dynamic learning environment, encouraging peer interaction while maintaining students’ enthusiasm through healthy competition. Accordingly, the findings indicate that digital gamification constitutes an effective instructional approach for improving English grammar learning among young learners. This study uniquely integrates collaborative-competitive gamification within a community service framework, offering a practical model for grammar instruction in junior high school EFL contexts.

Improving the Quality and Added Value of Miana Leaves (Coleus scutellarioides) through Harvest and Postharvest Assistance at BUMDes Tanjung Asri, Mojokerto
Miana leaves (Coleus scutellarioides) have significant potential as raw materials for herbal products due to their bioactive compounds; however, their quality is highly influenced by harvesting and postharvest handling practices. At BUMDes Tanjung Asri, the existing practices were still simple and not standardized, resulting in inconsistent quality and low added value. This community service program aimed to improve the quality and value addition of miana leaves through assistance in proper harvesting and postharvest handling. The program was implemented using a participatory approach involving four stages: development of standard operating procedures (SOPs), dissemination of SOPs, hands-on field practice, and post-training assistance. The developed SOPs covered harvesting criteria, postharvest handling, and storage processes and were presented in an infographic format. The results showed that partners were able to apply the SOPs more systematically, particularly in sorting, washing, and drying processes, leading to improved handling practices. The learning-by-doing approach effectively enhanced partners’ technical skills, while post-training assistance ensured the sustainability of SOP implementation. Overall, this program contributed to improving the quality, consistency, and added value of miana leaves at BUMDes Tanjung Asri.
