With a community-based approach, this program successfully increased food security, household income, and the sustainability of agricultural practices, while demonstrating the effectiveness of empowerment that can be extended to other areas facing similar challenges.

A target is needed for kicks and attacks. Currently, these targets are always held by the lecturer, which, when used, significantly wastes time in learning sessions. With the funded Community Service Program (PKM) activity, the lecturer developed his creativity by creating a target stand, which was still incomplete at the time. The results of this community service implementation will impact students in the Physical Education Department at Lambung Mangkurat University. Lecturers teaching martial arts courses have greatly benefited from the presence of this target stand. Survey data analysis results are still in progress and will be attached to the final report. In this case, the partner is a colleague within the Physical Education Department, with whom he has a collaboration in the construction and welding fields. 80% of sports equipment is made from hard materials such as steel. Therefore, the Department has a long-standing partnership with DTK (Dita Teknik Kontruksi). Furthermore, metal sports equipment is regularly maintained, and if damaged, the partner is ready to repair it at a certain capacity.

The primary goal of this Community Service Program (PKM) is to assist local farmers in utilizing rabbit urine waste—previously discarded into a value-added product in the form of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). This innovation aims not only to enhance technical production skills but also to stimulate local economic growth through entrepreneurship based on local resources. The program involves several strategic steps: designing a simple fermentation device using a 20-liter bucket equipped with an airlock and digital thermometer; providing technical training in the LOF-making process, quality control, and hygiene standards; offering entrepreneurial mentoring in production management, financial recording, branding, and marketing; and developing local distribution networks through farmer groups and agricultural shops. The results show that partners can independently produce consistent-quality LOF, packaged in 600 ml bottles with simple labeling for commercial appeal. The program improves technical and entrepreneurial skills, increases farmers’ income, fosters cooperation, and supports sustainable agriculture through environmentally friendly waste utilization.

The spirituality of today’s church youth encounters multidimensional challenges, particularly the pervasive influence of digital culture, the gradual decline in interest toward spiritual disciplines, and the weakening of involvement in ecclesial ministry. Such dynamics often create a gap between theological knowledge and lived faith experiences. This Community Service (PkM) initiative was designed to respond to these issues by implementing an interactive model aimed at enhancing the spiritual understanding of the youth at GKSI Trimorejo Congregation. The model emphasizes participatory learning processes, in which youth are not merely passive recipients of teaching but active contributors to collective faith formation. The methodological framework consisted of three main stages: initial observation to identify needs and spiritual conditions; preparation of training modules contextualized with the congregation’s realities; and the implementation of interactive activities such as group discussions, thematic Bible studies, role-play, and collective reflection. Evaluation strategies integrated both quantitative and qualitative approaches, including pre-tests and post-tests to measure cognitive growth, alongside participatory interviews to capture experiential insights. The findings reveal a notable increase in youth comprehension of biblical principles, heightened enthusiasm and participation in church programs, and the establishment of a more cohesive spiritual learning community. Furthermore, the process encouraged a deeper sense of belonging and responsibility among the participants toward their ecclesial environment. In conclusion, the interactive model demonstrates significant effectiveness in fostering youth spirituality and may serve as a viable alternative strategy for churches encountering similar challenges within contemporary contexts of ministry.

Salem District is one of the largest coffee commodities in Brebes Regency. This significant potential has yet to provide a meaningful contribution to the income of coffee farmers, especially in Gunung Jaya village, Salem District. The low income of coffee farmers is due to the fact that they still sell their coffee products in the form of cherry. Over time, in 2018, farmers began to develop small-scale and simple coffee processing from green beans to roasted beans and coffee powder, pioneered by the SME "Lulumpang Kopi". They still use simple tools and often have to travel out of town to obtain the desired coffee powder. Lulumpang Kopi can produce 100-150 packages of coffee weighing 100 grams. Seeing this potential, the Community Partnership Empowerment team (PKM) from the University of Civilisation and UNSOED, funded by DIKTISAINTEK, is conducting community service this year 2025 using training methods, workshops, and appropriate technology grants. Thus, technology has been granted in the form of 1 Huller machine with a capacity of 150kg/batch, 1 BBM Grinding machine with a capacity of 10kg/batch, and scales. This assistance aims to enhance farmers' capabilities to achieve greater economic independence and improve their competitiveness in the market. As a result of this activity, partners were able to increase the capacity and quality of coffee farmers' production through the grant of equipment such as huller, BBM grinder, and digital scales, making the processing faster, more efficient, and yielding better coffee compared to traditional methods. In addition, the training participants also demonstrated an increase in knowledge through pre-tests and post-tests, rising from 66.5% to 77.3%, an increase of 13.8% from the 40 participants who attended.

Hypertension is a condition in which systolic blood pressure exceeds 140 mmHg and diastolic pressure exceeds 90 mmHg persistently. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause disorders in the circulatory system and vital organs such as the heart and brain. One non-pharmacological effort to lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients is through deep breathing relaxation exercises, performed twice a day for ten minutes. RSU Siaga Medika Purbalingga, located in Padamara District, has recorded the highest number of hypertension cases in the area, totaling 4,470 patients. Based on a preliminary survey, many hypertensive patients were unaware of the benefits of deep breathing relaxation therapy; therefore, a Community Service (PkM) activity was conducted in the hospital’s Internal Medicine Clinic. The method involved educational sessions using lectures and demonstrations, supported by leaflets and videos. Participants’ knowledge was evaluated using pretest and posttest questionnaires. The results showed that most respondents were female (60%) and aged between 46–55 years (40%). Knowledge levels significantly improved, from the “low” category (40%) before education to the “good” category (90%) after education. Thus, deep breathing relaxation therapy has the potential to be an effective alternative method to help reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) by raising public awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The program was conducted in Pari Island, Kepulauan Seribu, involving 30 participants from the local community. The activities included health screenings such as blood glucose measurement, blood pressure monitoring, and uric acid level testing, as well as health education on adopting a healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition and regular physical exercise. Through this initiative, participants gained a better understanding of how to maintain their health and prevent non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and uric acid disorders. The health screening results indicated that some participants had elevated blood glucose and blood pressure levels, highlighting the need for further intervention through education and lifestyle modifications. Increased awareness was evident from participants' enthusiasm during the health education sessions and interactive discussions with the facilitators. Overall, this program successfully enhanced community knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of a healthy lifestyle while also providing a concrete initial step through early health screenings. It is hoped that this program serves as a starting point for fostering a healthier and more prosperous community in Pari Island, supporting the achievement of SDG No. 3.

This community service program (PKM) aims to empower farmer groups and women’s groups in Salenrang Village, Bontoa District, Maros Regency, through the diversification of pappa plant (Stenochlaena palustris) products. The pappa plant is a local resource with high economic potential, yet its utilization remains limited. Therefore, this PKM activity focuses on enhancing community skills in processing pappa leaves into innovative food products with greater market competitiveness. The program was carried out through counseling, practical training, and intensive mentoring from upstream to downstream. Participants were guided in selecting high-quality raw materials, applying hygienic processing techniques, creating recipe innovations, developing attractive packaging, and strengthening business management as well as digital-based marketing strategies. Through a participatory approach, the program not only increased knowledge but also built technical skills that could be directly applied in local businesses. The results of the activities indicated a significant improvement in the knowledge and skills of approximately 25 participants. One of the flagship products developed was pappa leaf crackers, which are characterized by a crispy texture and distinctive taste. The product received positive responses from the local community and showed promising market potential. At least 15 group members were intensively trained and expressed strong interest in developing entrepreneurial activities based on pappa leaf processing. This program contributes to strengthening household economies, preserving local plants as part of cultural identity, and promoting regional culinary development. With continued mentoring, pappa-based processed products are expected to become an icon of creative economy in Salenrang Village and foster sustainable community independence.

 National insight is an important foundation in the character development of Indonesia's young generation, especially in facing the challenges of globalization, digitalization, and changing values ​​among adolescents. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to strengthen national insight for new students of SMAN 46 Jakarta through a contextual approach relevant to the conditions of today's youth. The contextual approach was chosen because it can help students understand the material by connecting the knowledge learned with their daily experiences, so that the learning process becomes more meaningful, easier to understand, and less abstract (Aminah et al., 2022; Parhan & Sukaenah, 2020). The methods used in this program include interactive counseling, group discussions, and reflections supported by audiovisual media close to students' daily lives, such as short videos, digital illustrations, and case simulations. This activity was held on July 14–16, 2025, as part of the School Environment Introduction Period (MPLS) and was attended by 450 new students in grade X. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in students' understanding of the concept of national insight from a practical and contextual perspective, with a focus on the values ​​of empathy, solidarity, mutual cooperation, anti-bullying, and positive creativity. Furthermore, this program succeeded in changing the paradigm of students from an understanding of national insight that initially tended to be normative and abstract to being more applicable in everyday life. This proves that strengthening national insight through a contextual approach can be an effective strategy in forming a young generation that is characterful, adaptive, and has social awareness.

This Community Service Program (PKM) was implemented at UMKM Wedang Rempah 3 Putri Sukoharjo with the aim of enhancing competitiveness through the application of e-prospek, strengthening digital marketing, and product diversification into ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages. The program employed mentoring, training, and hands-on practice, engaging UMKM actors actively from the planning stage to implementation. The results show that the use of the e-prospek application successfully expanded market access, digital marketing improved promotional effectiveness, and RTD product diversification attracted modern consumers who value practicality and health benefits. Beyond the economic impact of increased sales, the program fostered digital awareness, local leadership, and community independence. Theoretically, these findings reinforce the literature on the significance of digital transformation and product innovation in community-based MSME empowerment. This program is recommended for sustainable development through enhanced digital literacy, stronger local branding, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to establish an adaptive, innovative, and competitive MSME empowerment model.

Community participation in the formation of Village Regulations (Perdes) is an important indicator in realizing transparent, democratic, and responsive village governance to the needs of residents. However, in Teluk Kapuas Village, the level of community participation in the process is still relatively low. This is evident from the minimal involvement of residents and village officials in understanding the mechanisms and urgency of Perdes preparation. Based on these conditions, Community Service (PKM) activities were carried out with the aim of increasing the knowledge, understanding, and awareness of the community and village officials regarding the importance of active involvement in Perdes formation. The problems raised in this activity include: (1) the level of knowledge and understanding of village officials regarding the procedures for Perdes formation; and (2) factors that hinder the community from participating optimally. The methods used were lectures and interactive discussions involving village officials and community representatives. The results of the activities showed that the understanding of village officials and the community was still limited, so that participation in Perdes formation was not optimal. Through this PKM activity, it is hoped that there will be an increase in the understanding, awareness, and involvement of the Teluk Kapuas Village community in the Perdes formulation process so that it can produce village regulations that are more participatory and meet the needs of residents.

Community service (PkM) in the form of educational assistance and legal consultation in Bulili Village, Duhiadaa Subdistrict, was carried out with the aim of improving legal understanding and assisting the community in resolving legal issues they face. This educational support and legal consultation activity was based on two crucial issues: the community's lack of understanding of marriage and inheritance laws, and their low participation in the village regulation formation process. These two issues were chosen because they significantly affect the realization of a safe, orderly, and prosperous village. The methods used in this community service program include interactive outreach and participatory-based direct consultation, combining educational and legal empowerment approaches for village residents. The results of the program indicate an increase in community legal awareness regarding rights and obligations within the family context, as well as the importance of active community involvement in the formulation of village regulations. It is hoped that this activity can strengthen the legal culture at the local level and serve as a foundation for the development of a just, inclusive, and sustainable village.

Community service (PKM) is one of the pillars of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, aimed at improving the quality of life of society through the transfer of knowledge and technology. This study focuses on the strategic role of PKM in addressing the low literacy levels in Indonesia, an issue that directly impacts social-economic welfare. Based on literature studies, this article analyzes the relationship between PKM, literacy, and welfare, as well as identifying effective implementation methods. The analysis results show that PKM is not only limited to formal education but must also be solution-oriented, participatory, and sustainable. Relevant PKM programs, such as the establishment of reading gardens, digital training for MSMEs, and financial education, have proven effective in enhancing community literacy. Improving literacy, including digital and financial literacy, is an essential tool for empowering communities to access information, develop skills, and make informed decisions. Digital literacy, for instance, opens access to vast information, while financial literacy helps communities manage their finances wisely, ultimately increasing their economic competitiveness. Through a participatory approach, PKM can also encourage communities to be more actively involved in decision-making processes related to their welfare. Through PKM programs, academics can bridge the knowledge and skills gap in society, contributing to the reduction of poverty and inequality. Thus, literacy not only functions to enhance individual capacity but also serves as a bridge to better welfare, covering economic, social, and health aspects. Solution-oriented and sustainable PKM programs can be the key to creating a more prosperous and independent society.

The digital era has significantly influenced the economic system, and one of the innovations arising is the development of smart ponds based on IoT technology. In Ujungwatu Village, the development of Tambak Bandeng Kalingga has become an innovative solution to optimize local potential, while also introducing advanced technology that is not widely known by the local community.
