Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a significant contribution to national economic growth and the smooth distribution of goods and services. However, market competition and national economic dynamics pose serious challenges to the sustainability of MSMEs, especially in terms of competitiveness and technological adaptation. The development of digitalization opens up great opportunities for MSMEs to increase production efficiency and expand marketing reach through online sales platforms. Unfortunately, the limited knowledge and skills of MSME actors in managing digital marketing strategies leads to low optimization of this potential. This research aims to examine the needs of MSME assistance in Bangsalsari Village, Jember Regency, in order to increase business capacity and digital marketing effectiveness. The method used is a qualitative approach through field observation and interviews with MSME actors. The results of the study show that structured and sustainable mentoring can increase business actors' understanding of digital strategies, expand market access, and encourage the creation of new jobs. Thus, technology-based assistance programs and local needs are strategic solutions in strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of MSMEs in the midst of national economic challenges.

The Community Service (PKM) program for the 2025 academic year in Buntu Datu Tourism Village, Mengkendek District, Tana Toraja Regency, aims to enhance the human resources (HR) capacity in managing community-based tourism villages. This village has great tourism potential, supported by basic facilities such as gazebos, halls, camping areas, and food stalls that cater to tourists’ activities. However, tourism village management still faces challenges such as limited facilities, low digital promotion skills, lack of innovation in developing tourist attractions, and suboptimal use of village funds to support the tourism sector. The PKM implementation methods involve socialization, training, interviews, field observations, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with the community, village officials, and tourism awareness groups (Pokdarwis). Through a participatory approach, this activity successfully improved the community's understanding of destination management, tourist services, facility management, and digital promotion strategies via social media and online platforms. Although the impact was limited due to the relatively short duration of the assistance, the activity received high appreciation from the community and emphasized the importance of collaboration between the community, government, and academics. It is hoped that follow-up programs will strengthen local capacity, enhance tourism attractiveness, and support the sustainable economic welfare of the Buntu Datu Tourism Village community.

Women's empowerment is a program increasingly promoted by the government. When women are empowered, they will contribute in various sectors, including education, economics, culture, health, the environment, and so on. The presence of female entrepreneurs will shape the presence of women entrepreneurs in each region, bringing new breakthroughs to their respective business fields. The objectives of this community service activity are: 1) To provide knowledge about digital technology that women in Purwo Hamlet, Pasuruan Regency, can use to explore creative entrepreneurial ideas. 2) To provide mentoring and capital assistance for the most creative, original ideas, which will be developed with a systematic business plan and business control. The stages of this community service activity begin with planning, implementation, and evaluation. The results of this community service activity are: 1) The women of Purwo Hamlet, consisting of housewives, teenagers, and adult women who have graduated from school, are very enthusiastic about finding entrepreneurial ideas by opening several business applications on their mobile phones, then designing business ideas or business plans. They are also given modest capital rewards for original ideas. 2) The business plan submitted by the women of Purwo Hamlet related to the natural resources in Purwo Hamlet and what was implemented was young papaya fruit, which was planned to be made into shredded fruit targeting vegetarian consumers.

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Christian mission by the Christian Veterinary Mission (CVM) in the development of agriculture/livestock and education for students of IAKN Tarutung, which also focuses on evangelism that introduces Christ to the communities and students being served. CVM, as an international Christian mission organization, carries out services that combine spiritual and practical approaches, particularly among communities that also include IAKN Tarutung students, through technical assistance, training, community empowerment, and educational support. This research uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive analysis approach, utilizing data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation from CVM workers, scholarship recipients, and the communities involved in the program. The theoretical basis of this research refers to the thoughts of David J. Bosch, who asserts that mission is an attribute of God (missio Dei) and the church is merely an instrument sent to carry it out. This also underpins the view that CVM's mission is not merely evangelism, but also practical service that addresses the real needs of society. The research findings indicate that CVM implements a holistic mission that focuses not only on evangelism but also on economic empowerment through agricultural and livestock training, improving the quality of human resources through formal and non-formal education, and building social and spiritual relationships within the community. This research emphasizes that CVM's application of the Christian mission is capable of providing positive transformation that encompasses social, economic, educational, and spiritual aspects of the community. This finding is expected to serve as a reference for the development of Christian mission models in other regions with relevant and contextual approaches.

Kondisi lembaga pemasyarakatan di Indonesia masih menghadapi tantangan serius, seperti overcrowding dan tingginya angka residivisme. Program pembimbingan klien pemasyarakatan menjadi salah satu upaya strategis untuk menekan residivisme dan mendukung reintegrasi sosial, namun implementasinya dinilai belum optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas, hambatan, dan praktik terbaik dalam pembimbingan klien pemasyarakatan melalui pendekatan Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Sebanyak 27 artikel ilmiah (2018–2023) dipilih dari 512 artikel awal melalui proses PRISMA dengan tahap penyaringan berbasis kerangka PICO(C) dan quality assessment. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pembimbingan berbasis keterampilan vokasional, kewajiban lapor, dan pendekatan restorative justice secara signifikan mendukung kesiapan sosial dan ekonomi klien pasca bebas. Selain itu, pelibatan keluarga dan masyarakat mempercepat reintegrasi dan menekan potensi pengulangan tindak pidana. Namun demikian, masih terdapat hambatan struktural (minimnya SDM dan infrastruktur), sosial (stigma dan diskriminasi), serta individual (motivasi rendah dan gangguan psikososial). Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penguatan kapasitas petugas Pembimbing Kemasyarakatan (PK), penerapan pendekatan Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR), serta kolaborasi lintas sektor sebagai langkah strategis. Temuan ini diharapkan menjadi rujukan dalam pengembangan kebijakan pembimbingan klien pemasyarakatan yang lebih efektif dan berkelanjutan di Indonesia.

Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental component in English language learning that determines comprehension, speaking, and writing skills. However, in the context of district-level communities, including the Regional Library of Labuhan Batu, vocabulary learning still faces various challenges such as the lack of contextual teaching materials, the dominance of rote learning methods, and the limited use of local resources. To address these issues, this Community Service Program (PkM) proposes the application of lexical analysis on 100 local library documents as the basis for developing interactive media used in vocabulary training. The method employed is a community-based participatory approach, with stages including preparation, lexical analysis, media development, training, and evaluation. Corpus analysis produced 27,800 word types with 200 high-frequency words and 1,350 distinctive local vocabulary items. The interactive media developed include multimedia modules, Wordwall quizzes, mobile-based gamification, and bilingual infographics. The training was attended by 40 participants, with evaluation results showing a significant improvement in the average post-test score (76.8) compared to the pre-test (42.5), and 82.5% of participants achieving scores ≥70. Furthermore, 90% of participants reported increased motivation to learn, and 85% considered the locally based materials more relevant. Thus, this PkM provides a tangible contribution to enhancing English literacy through local vocabulary and offers an interactive learning model that can be replicated in other regional libraries in Indonesia.

This community service program was designed to empower residents of RW 06 Kalibaru, North Jakarta, by transforming local organic waste—such as sawdust and seashells—into a high-value commodity: oyster mushrooms. The training began with a needs assessment to ensure the relevance of the materials, followed by the application of the Adult Education (POD) approach, integrating theoretical and practical learning. The theoretical sessions provided participants with insights into economic prospects, nutritional benefits, and business opportunities, while the practical sessions developed technical skills in substrate preparation, sterilization, inoculation, and mushroom maintenance. The program was reinforced through participatory discussions, demonstrations, and simulations to ensure effective skill transfer. Monitoring and evaluation were conducted via Focus Group Discussions, and continuous mentoring was carried out through field visits, online communication, and the formation of farmer groups as collaborative platforms. As a result, participants demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge and technical skills, accompanied by greater awareness of the economic potential of previously discarded waste. This initiative not only serves as an innovative solution to environmental problems but also acts as a catalyst for the application of the circular economy, creating micro-enterprise opportunities and strengthening community economic independence. The synergy between universities, the local community, and industry partners is a key factor in sustaining the program, with recommendations for expanding training on product diversification, marketing strategies, and policy support to accelerate business development. Additionally, the success of the program has opened new avenues for sustainable entrepreneurship, particularly in communities with limited resources. The involvement of local stakeholders—such as community leaders and small businesses—has been instrumental in fostering a sense of ownership and shared responsibility for the program's success. The use of organic waste as a resource for mushroom cultivation also aligns with broader environmental goals, such as reducing waste and promoting sustainable practices.

The development of tourism villages is an effective strategy to improve community welfare and support the realization of sustainable development at the local level. This study aims to analyze strategies for developing a tourism village through the Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN), with a particular focus on creating a healthy, clean, and educational village in Ambarawa, Pringsewu Regency. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with village officials, community leaders, and local entrepreneurs, as well as documentation of program activities. The findings reveal that the implementation of the KKN program involved three main strategies. First, environmental hygiene and health education were carried out through socialization, mentoring, and community-based clean-up initiatives. Second, digital-based tourism promotion was developed using social media and online platforms, which increased destination visibility and enhanced tourist appeal. Third, local economic empowerment was strengthened by providing training and mentoring for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), along with the introduction of non-cash transactions using QRIS to facilitate modern and efficient payments. These efforts successfully fostered community participation, raised environmental awareness, and stimulated innovative approaches to tourism promotion. Nevertheless, several challenges were identified, such as limited program duration, low levels of digital literacy among some residents, and the absence of comprehensive regulations governing tourism management. Recommendations include establishing a formal tourism management institution (Pokdarwis), enhancing capacity through digital literacy training, and fostering sustainable collaboration among government, academia, and the community to ensure that tourism village development can progress consistently, innovatively, and sustainably.

This research discusses the development of a donor module on the SiKembar (Barang Entry and Exit Information System) web-based application, designed to optimize the management of donor data and donation aid during natural disasters. The module is developed to facilitate the donation submission process from the public, ultimately aiming to improve coordination between the community, government, and BPBD (Regional Disaster Management Agency) of Cianjur Regency in managing and distributing post-disaster aid. The development method used in this module is web-based, utilizing PHP programming language and the CodeIgniter framework. The CodeIgniter framework was chosen for its ease of use in building structured and flexible web applications. The donor module developed is integrated into the existing SiKembar platform, allowing for more efficient and organized donor data management. The main feature introduced in this module is the donation submission, which enables the public to directly donate and track the status of their submitted donations through the platform. The results of the research indicate that this module facilitates a more structured and responsive donation submission process. Both donors and administrators can easily access and manage information related to the aid needed and the status of received donations. This enhances transparency and efficiency in donation data management while minimizing the potential for errors in aid distribution. The donor module on the SiKembar application is expected to increase the effectiveness of managing donor data and handling aid following natural disasters. With this system, the aid distribution process will be more organized and faster, while also facilitating better coordination among the involved parties. Ultimately, this module can contribute to accelerating post-disaster recovery and ensuring that aid reaches those in need in a timely manner.
