In line with the rapid advancement of technology, there has been a significant decline in reading interest across various age groups—both adults and children. One of the main contributing factors is the increasing addiction to digital devices, which has shifted attention away from reading activities and learning responsibilities at home. In response to this issue, we have initiated a movement aimed at revitalizing the spirit of literacy through the establishment and development of the Baitul Ilmi Community Reading Center located in Gesang Village. As an initial step, we have launched a book donation program, open to anyone who wishes to contribute books to support the sustainability of this literacy initiative. Based on our preliminary study, the primary target audience of this program includes children at the kindergarten and elementary school levels. To enhance their engagement and participation, we have adopted the field trip method as our key strategy. This method has proven to effectively increase children's enthusiasm and has received a positive response from the local community, particularly from parents. This initiative is also supported by various community stakeholders, including village authorities, the Family Welfare Empowerment Team (TP PKK), and the Gesang Village Youth Organization (Karang Taruna), all of whom are committed to fostering a culture of literacy from an early age to ensure a brighter future for the next generation.

Sumerta Kaja Traditional Village is one of the traditional villages in Bali which has quite large tourism potential. The beauty of traditional Balinese spa culture is one of the main attractions for tourists visiting this area. However, in this traditional village there is a group of PKK women who have limited knowledge and skills to develop independent economic businesses. Therefore, spa training for the Sumerta Kaja Traditional Village youth organization is important in order to improve their economic quality. This village has significant tourism potential, but the youth organizations in this traditional village are still unable to utilize this potential optimally. They have limited knowledge and skills in the spa sector, making it difficult for them to be involved in developing the tourism sector in their traditional villages. Apart from that, youth organizations are also a group that has an important role in the family and society. Through spa training, they can be economically empowered and have the opportunity to earn additional income. This will give them pride and increase their role and self-confidence in society.

Sudipayung Village, Ngampel District, Kendal Regency, is an area with a growing agricultural sector, particularly in rice and tobacco production. The need for fertilizers that support agriculture is crucial, while household waste management has become a significant issue. This article discusses training on making organic compost as an effort to improve the community's economy through the management of organic waste.

The resulting compost helps improve soil fertility, reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers, and create a greener and healthier environment. Additionally, this program contributes to reducing the volume of waste sent to the final disposal site (TPA), thus supporting environmental cleanliness. This training provides a double positive impact: increasing community knowledge about recycling waste and offering economic opportunities through the production of organic fertilizers.

The problem of plastic waste in Indonesia has become an increasingly urgent issue to be addressed. One of the areas facing serious waste management challenges is Bendelan Village in Binakal District, Bondowoso Regency.

Carrots are one of the abundant agricultural products in Wonolelo Village, Magelang. This type of root vegetable contains various nutrients such as Vitamin A, β-carotene, and fiber, which are beneficial for eye health and boosting the immune system against infections. The consumption of fresh carrots is less favored by the community, especially children, so carrot-based processed products in the form of healthy beverages like carrot ice cream can be an attractive and healthy alternative for consumption. The purpose of this activity is to explore the processing of carrots to maximize harvests and optimize the selling value and functionality of carrots as a healthy and appealing product for children. This training uses practical methods, allowing participants to practice and directly process carrots into ice cream.

Ecoprint is one of the activities of making batik through the process of transferring color and shape to fabric through direct contact. Ecoprint training was chosen because it was based on the discovery that there were many natural resources that had not been utilized, which was one of the reasons for conducting ecoprint training. In supporting the village's creative economy by utilizing natural resources, ecoprint is one solution that can be implemented. Apart from being able to provide ecoprint training experience, it can be used as an example of a business that supports the village economy. This training uses material delivery and discussion methods, a participatory approach and local potential.  The results of this training were to increase the experience and skills of the PKK mothers of Beringin Makmur village regarding ecoprinting. PKK mothers can find out how to make Ecoprint and can apply it at home. Another hope is that mothers can still produce work even though they are stuck at home. Apart from that, the participation method applied not only adds to the learning experience, but also builds a social environment that supports business development. Thus, this activity contributes to community economic empowerment and environmental preservation through creativity and innovation in the use of natural materials found around.

Organic waste remains a major issue in several areas as it causes negative impacts such as environmental pollution. One of the causes is the lack of public understanding of how to process organic waste. Organic waste processing can be carried out using BSF maggot. Utilizing BSF maggot for organic waste processing is a form of sustainable benefit. BSF maggot can be used as animal feed, and its residue can be used as organic fertilizer. This study employs a qualitative method to deeply describe the sequence and results of community service activities conducted for the PKK mothers' community. The community service was conducted in the form of a socialization event aimed at providing an understanding of organic waste processing using BSF maggot and its potential as an alternative chicken feed. The activities included socialization on BSF maggot farming techniques, the role of BSF maggot in processing organic waste, the benefits that can be obtained, and the provision of BSF maggot samples for independent farming. The evaluation results show that all participants understood the BSF maggot farming techniques for processing organic waste and applying it as chicken feed in their surroundings.
