The application of Mastery Learning in Olympiad mentoring at Darussalam Islamic Junior High School was carried out using a classroom action research model involving 20 students from grades 8 and 9. The mentoring process followed a cyclical structure consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection, supported by observation techniques, tests, and documentation. The implementation of the mastery learning model effectively improved students’ mathematics learning outcomes, as shown by a significant increase in mastery levels: 65% before the intervention, 75% after the first cycle, and 90% after the second cycle. In addition, the average learning score rose from 71 in the first cycle to 87 in the second cycle, reflecting substantial progress in understanding and problem-solving abilities. These results indicate that Mastery Learning not only enhances students’ mathematics performance but also strengthens their readiness and confidence to compete in the National OSN competition, demonstrating the model’s positive contribution to academic achievement and Olympiad preparation.

The objective of this mentoring activity is to increase the capacity of swimming pool managers, particularly in strengthening management and sustainable management strategies. With this increased capacity, it is hoped that Tirta Arum Swimming Pool can develop into a valuable village asset, both economically and socially. The swimming pool will not only provide a source of income for the village but also serve as a means of recreation, education, and social interaction for the surrounding community. The method used in this mentoring activity is Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), an approach that emphasizes active community participation in every stage of the planning process, decision-making, and program implementation. PRA enables village communities, including Tirta Arum Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) managers, to analyze their environmental conditions, identify problems, and design contextual and sustainable solutions. This approach is implemented through structured mentoring, education, and training activities. Direct community involvement aims to foster a sense of ownership and responsibility for swimming pool management. In addition, with training tailored to local needs, managers are expected to be able to apply effective management principles, from planning and financial management to customer service and promotional strategies. Thus, the results of this activity are not only temporary improvements, but also long-term empowerment that contributes to the independence and business aspirations of the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes). Through the PRA method, this activity not only provides an immediate solution to swimming pool management problems but also increases the independence of the community and managers in developing and operating the business sustainably. This increased community participation is expected to foster a sense of ownership (a sense of belonging) towards the swimming pool as a shared property.

The Nurul Ikhlas Mosque, also known as Surau Parak Mujua, located in Pakan Akek, Jorong Kajai, Nagari Koto Baru, Solok Regency, is an important center of religious and social activities for the local community. In June 2023, the mosque suffered a major fire that destroyed the entire structure, creating an urgent need to redesign it to be more functional, ergonomic, efficient, and adaptable to local conditions. This community service project aimed to produce an architectural design that not only met structural and functional needs but also accommodated the social aspirations and cultural values of the local community. The methods used in this project included field observations to understand the community's conditions and needs, participatory discussions with local community leaders to explore aspirations and hopes, technical drawings using AutoCAD software, and structural analysis using ETABS to ensure the building's earthquake resistance. Ergonomics were a key consideration in this design, encompassing circulation flow, room dimensions, natural ventilation, and the selection of materials that were friendly and safe for the elderly, children, and people with disabilities. The output of this activity is a variety of design documents, including floor plans, elevations, building sections, floor plans, columns and beams, and 3D visualizations that can be used as a guide for phased construction. This program demonstrates the importance of collaboration between universities and the community in responding to post-disaster infrastructure needs. This knowledge-based, participatory approach is expected to produce a final design that is appropriate to real needs and the local context, and supports better and more sustainable post-disaster recovery.

The era of digital transformation demands that the younger generation acquire technology-based entrepreneurship skills, or technopreneurship. However, in the context of Vocational High Schools (SMK), many students still lack understanding and skills in developing structured and applicable business models. This Community Service Program (PKM) was carried out to address this challenge, particularly at SMK Negeri 1 Mengwi, Badung, Bali, by leveraging local potential such as tourism and traditional culinary products. The training program focused on the use of the Business Model Canvas (BMC) as a visual tool for business planning, alongside the introduction of trending technologies such as digital marketing. The activities were implemented in four stages: pre-test, socialization, intensive training, business idea presentation, and post-test evaluation and reflection. A total of 36 students participated in this program. The results of the pre-test and post-test showed an increase in understanding of 53.85% in the aspect of technopreneurship and 58.33% in understanding the elements of the BMC. These findings indicate that practical and visual-based approaches are effective in fostering students’ strategic thinking, collaboration, and creativity in developing business ideas based on local potential and technology. This program also made a measurable and impactful contribution to strengthening vocational students' technopreneurship competencies

Adolescence is a crucial developmental phase often marked by a lack of responsibility, which can lead to negative behaviors such as juvenile delinquency and promiscuity. Therefore, developing a responsible character in adolescents is essential to guide them toward positive behavior. One effective approach is through life skills education implemented in the local village (gampong) environment. This community service initiative aims to instill a sense of responsibility in adolescents by involving them in the planting and maintenance of family medicinal plants (TOGA). Through this activity, adolescents are expected to develop care, discipline, and responsibility, which are reflected in their commitment to nurturing the plants. The activity was implemented in Gampong Cot Alue, Ingin Jaya District, Aceh Besar, and carried out over two days, from February 14 to 15, 2025. The method used in the planning and execution of the TOGA planting involved five stages: (1) creating an activity plan, (2) preparing tools and materials, (3) preparing the planting area, (4) plant nurseries, and (5) creating plant identification markers. These stages were designed to introduce a structured approach to life skills and community engagement.The outcomes of the program demonstrated an increase in adolescents' awareness and understanding of the importance of TOGA. Additionally, there was a noticeable improvement in their sense of responsibility and participation in daily activities beyond school. The broader community, particularly the youth, gained valuable knowledge about the benefits of TOGA for disease prevention, treatment, and health maintenance, contributing to a healthier and more proactive lifestyle within the village environment.

The number of women of childbearing age in Indonesia is the largest number of WUS in Southeast Asia. However, Indonesia is the largest user of contraception. The Covid-19 outbreak also affects the use of contraception. This outbreak was declared a global health emergency, requiring restrictions on physical and social activities and contacts, up to large-scale quarantine. This causes major changes in the social structure, which usually changes activities outside the home to activities at home. Apart from that, the pandemic has also increased sexual contact, thereby allowing an increase in the number of pregnancies. So it is necessary to strengthen knowledge on the use of contraception. The aim of this activity is to assist PUS in choosing the type of contraception during the Covid-19 pandemic in maintaining reproductive health using counseling methods on contraceptive selection. This community service activity has been successfully implemented. WUS in the Maccini Health Center area of Makassar City have also received information about contraception, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Judging from the EFA response, this activity was welcomed and considered to have provided positive benefits during the pandemic.
