Literacy is one of the key factors that hinders the development of human resources. To improve the quality of human resources, it is essential to focus on eliminating illiteracy within the population. One of the primary goals of this outreach activity is to enhance the literacy skills of the local community in Sitanggal Village, located in Larangan District, Brebes Regency, Central Java. The residents of Sitanggal Village primarily rely on farming and entrepreneurship for their income. However, due to the village's isolated location, difficult access, and low economic status, many residents face challenges in accessing proper education. As a result, the illiteracy rate in this area is relatively high, further exacerbating the cycle of poverty. To address this issue, a collaboration has been established with the Community Learning Activity Center (PKBM) Danawangsa Sitanggal, which has facilitated the eradication of illiteracy within the community. The literacy skills of the participants were assessed both before and after the program implementation using pre-tests and post-tests. The participants, aged between 35 and 59 years, totaled 50 individuals. The program was conducted in three stages: reading, writing, and arithmetic. Each stage was structured around specially designed teaching modules, employing engaging and interactive methods to ensure the participants' active involvement. The results of the program were highly encouraging. The participants' reading skills improved significantly, rising from 10% to 64%. Their writing skills saw a notable increase from 40% to 82%, and their counting skills improved drastically from 80% to 100%. These improvements highlight the success of the program and demonstrate the positive impact that literacy education can have on enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals in marginalized communities.

This community service project aimed to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of using English-language YouTube videos to improve listening skills at Package C Community Learning Centers (PKBM) in Banjarmasin City. Listening skills have been identified as a major challenge for students at PKBM due to limited exposure to authentic materials and real-world language. This research utilized a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest format involving 30 students from a local PKBM. The implementation stages included interactive lectures, YouTube video screenings, followed by discussions and question-and-answer sessions, with the effectiveness assessed through pretests and posttests. The quantitative results revealed a significant improvement in listening comprehension, with the average listening score increasing from 82.9 in the pretest to 86.7 in the posttest, reflecting a positive impact of the intervention. In addition to the quantitative results, the qualitative data highlighted high levels of student engagement and motivation throughout the learning process. Many students expressed that the YouTube videos made the content more relatable and enjoyable, which contributed to a deeper understanding of the material. This suggests that the use of YouTube videos is not only effective in enhancing listening skills but also fosters a more interactive and student-centered learning environment, making the learning experience more relevant to the needs of non-formal learners. The study concludes that YouTube videos are a promising and innovative tool for improving English language teaching at PKBM, providing accessible and engaging resources that can bridge the gap between formal and informal learning environments, helping students connect better with the material.
