This community service activity aims to strengthen the role of administration in increasing community participation in community service activities in Nendali Village, East Sentani District, Jayapura Regency. So far, community activities in the village have been carried out informally without an orderly administration system, making it difficult to evaluate and sustain activities. Through a participatory approach, this activity invites residents to be directly involved in community service to clean the environment and participate in discussion sessions on the importance of simple recording in social activities. The results of the activity show an increase in community awareness of the importance of administration, marked by the use of attendance lists, meeting minutes, and activity documentation. In addition, this activity also encourages a more organized and transparent spirit of mutual cooperation. Analysis of community involvement shows that administration has a significant influence in forming a sense of responsibility and social accountability at the community level. The challenges faced include limited time for residents and understanding of administration, but can be overcome through a practical and educational approach. This activity has positive implications and can be replicated in other villages with similar conditions.

Poverty is a multidimensional problem that is not only related to economic aspects, but also social, cultural, and political, which affects the welfare of poor families. The Family Hope Program (PKH) in Makassar City is designed as a conditional social assistance program that aims to improve the welfare of poor families through the provision of financial assistance and increased access to basic services. This study aims to explore the role of social companions in building trust, factors that affect the participation of poor families, and obstacles in the implementation of PKH. The method used was descriptive qualitative with subjects of 10 beneficiary families and 3 social companions, data was collected through semi-structured interviews and participatory observations, then analyzed thematically using an inductive approach. The results of the study show that social companions play a crucial role as communication mediators who build trust through an empathetic and familial approach, which strengthens the sense of belonging to the program. Family participation is influenced by social capital, local cultural norms, education levels, as well as bureaucratic constraints and access to services. Barriers such as social stigma, complicated bureaucracy, and limited companion training hinder the effectiveness of the program. Habermas's theory of communicative action and Durkheim's social solidarity support the finding that open dialogue and harmonious relationships between companions and families are key to successful social empowerment. It was concluded that strengthening the capacity of companions, simplifying bureaucracy, and increasing participatory dialogue spaces are needed to increase the effectiveness and sustainability of PKH in Makassar.

Political participation is a right and not an obligation for citizens. Political participation is the involvement of citizens in making general policies and determining government leaders. There are many types of political participation, from conventional to non-conventional. However, in developing countries including Indonesia, voting in general elections is the main political participation. After that, there is no more participation. In fact, participation should be carried out as long as politics and government exist. Especially for students who are classified as novice voters as agents of change and future political leaders.

Torok Golo Village in Rana Mese District, East Manggarai, is an agrarian area with significant agricultural potential but faces various structural challenges, such as limited access to agricultural technology, weak farmer institutions, and low community participation in village development planning processes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a community-based farmer empowerment program in the area. A qualitative approach was used with a descriptive-qualitative research design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving local actors, including farmers, extension workers, village officials, and program facilitators. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the empowerment program has enhanced farmers' capacities in production and group collaboration, and there has been active community participation during the implementation phase. However, participation in the planning and evaluation stages remains suboptimal, and the institutional structure of farmer groups still requires strengthening. Other weaknesses include limited market access and low utilization of modern agricultural technologies. The study concludes that program effectiveness heavily depends on sustained community participation across all stages and structural support from the government and assisting institutions. Future research is recommended to explore technology-based empowerment models combined with the strengthening of local institutions to better adapt to the needs of rural communities in remote areas.

Innovation in social studies learning is essential to improve students' social participation.  With the times and the increasing complexity of social issues, social studies learning should adopt new approaches that can help students understand social issues and be more involved in social activities.  One such innovation is the use of more interactive learning approaches, such as project-based learning, case studies, and group discussions, as well as the use of digital technology to connect theoretical and applied knowledge.  In addition to gaining knowledge about social issues, this innovation teaches students to think critically, work together, and act as agents of change in society. It is expected that learning that focuses on social experiences, both inside and outside the classroom, can enhance students' sense of social responsibility and encourage them to engage more actively and productively in social activities. This article emphasizes the important role of educators in creating a learning environment that encourages students to be actively and productively involved in their social lives. The goal of this learning is to produce a generation that is more socially aware, caring, and plays an active role in society.
