SAE (Healthy and Anemia-Free) Youth Ambassador Training as an Anemia Prevention Effort in Schools
According to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenkes RI), adolescence is a transitional period from childhood to adulthood, spanning the ages of 10 to before the age of 18. According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the number of adolescent girls in Indonesia will reach more than 22 million in 2023 (BPS, 2023). Anemia is a common nutritional problem among adolescent girls and negatively impacts academic achievement, productivity, and reproductive health in the future. This community service activity aims to increase adolescent knowledge and awareness through SAE Ambassador training (Healthy Anemia Free) as a school-based anemia prevention strategy. The method used includes the selection and training of ten students from Semesta Vocational High School in Cimanggis District, Depok City with educational materials on anemia, health communication, and peer counseling skills. The training was conducted on February 8, 2025, followed by implementation activities in the form of counseling and peer counseling on February 15, 2025, and monitoring of iron tablet consumption for one month until March 15, 2025. The results showed that the SAE Ambassadors were able to effectively carry out their roles as educators and peer counselors, demonstrated by increased knowledge and awareness among the target group. The program also encouraged active student involvement in health promotion. It is recommended that the SAE Ambassador program receive continued support from schools and community health centers, and be replicated in other schools as a sustainable educational approach to anemia prevention in adolescents.

Adolescent Knowledge Regarding Nutritional Status Assessment in Budhi Warman 1 High School Students, Jakarta
Adequate knowledge of nutritional status assessment among adolescents is crucial, as it can encourage positive lifestyle changes that ultimately aim to improve nutritional status toward a normal or healthy category. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge of female students at SMA Budhi Warman 1 Jakarta through education on balanced nutrition, as well as training and hands-on practice in conducting self-assessments of nutritional status using simple measurement methods. The program was implemented in three stages: (1) an educational session focused on the principles of balanced nutrition and the stages of nutritional status assessment; (2) a practical session where participants, guided by facilitators, conducted anthropometric measurements including Body Weight (BW), Height (BH), and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC); (3) the assessment of nutritional status using Body Mass Index-for-Age (BMI/A) and MUAC indicators. The program’s effectiveness was evaluated using a pre-test and post-test design to assess changes in participants’ knowledge levels. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in students’ knowledge of nutritional status assessment. The proportion of students achieving a high level of knowledge (>70%) rose from 18.4% in the pre-test to 76.3% in the post-test. Overall, 92.1% of students demonstrated an improvement in knowledge following the intervention. This program demonstrated that a combination of educational sessions and practical training effectively enhances adolescents' knowledge and skills in assessing nutritional status. It is recommended that the school continues this program by empowering trained students to serve as facilitators for subsequent student groups, thereby promoting the sustainability and wider dissemination of this educational initiative.

Transformation of UMKM Accounting Practices through Education and Guidance on Private Entity Financial Accounting Standards (SAK EP)
According to the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs (2024), MSMEs are crucial to the Indonesian economy because they absorb labor and contribute significantly to GDP. Data collected by the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs in 2024 shows that the number of MSMEs in Indonesia reached more than 65 million units and is spread across various industries, ranging from digital technology and culinary to fashion. The Private Entity Financial Accounting Standards (SAK EP), approved by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the Indonesian Institute of Accountants (DSAK IAI) on June 30, 2021, will be effective starting January 1, 2025, replacing SAK ETAP and disallowing the application of SAK EMKM. This condition requires Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to adjust the preparation of financial reports to the latest standards. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge, understanding, and skills of MSMEs in preparing SAK EP-based financial reports through training and mentoring. The implementation method includes needs identification, material delivery, direct practice, and evaluation through pre- and post-tests. The activity involved 30 MSMEs, members of the JAWARA Depok Community. The results showed a significant increase in understanding, with the majority of participants, who previously had limited knowledge of accounting basics, now able to prepare simple financial reports in accordance with SAK EP. This activity is expected to contribute to improving the accountability of MSME financial reports and facilitating access to financing from financial institutions.

Improving Trademark Literacy Through Digital Training and Mentoring for MSMEs in the Jawara Depok Community
Brand ownership is a crucial form of legal protection for the continued business identity of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). MSMEs are strategic pillars in Indonesia's national economic structure. According to data from the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs (2024), MSMEs contribute more than 60% to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employ approximately 97% of the national workforce. Despite their significant contribution, MSMEs still face various structural challenges. Unfortunately, most MSMEs in Indonesia do not yet understand the importance of trademark rights and lack the technical skills to register them digitally through the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) system. This Community Service activity aims to improve MSME legal literacy through online trademark registration training and assistance. This activity involved 25 business actors who are members of the JAWARA Depok Community, with methods that included counseling, hands-on practice using the DJKI platform, and post-training assistance. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-tests using a Likert scale. The results showed an increase in participants' understanding scores from an average of 3.29 to 3.67, a 0.39-point increase. These findings demonstrate that a practice-based educational approach and personal mentoring are effective in improving trademark literacy among MSMEs. This activity also strengthens the synergy between higher education institutions and the community in realizing legally and digitally resilient MSMEs.

The Socialization of the Implementation of the Strengthening Project Pancasila Student Profile (P5) Independent Curriculum
Education in Indonesia has undergone significant changes with the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. This curriculum aims to produce students who are not only intellectually intelligent but also possess strong character, noble morals, and are able to face global challenges. One important element of the Merdeka Curriculum is the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). (Hamzah, M.R., 2022). The Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) is a project-based learning activity that is an integral part of the Merdeka Curriculum. P5 is designed to strengthen students' character based on the noble values of Pancasila, while simultaneously developing 21st-century competencies through contextual, interactive, and meaningful learning experiences. The Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project is one of the strategic efforts in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, which aims to shape students' character and competencies according to Pancasila values. This community service aims to socialize the implementation of the project to students so that the understanding and implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile can be optimally implemented in schools. The methods used in this outreach included workshops, discussions, and direct mentoring during the learning process. The outreach results demonstrated an increased understanding of project concepts and implementation techniques among students, as well as an increased awareness of internalizing Pancasila values in their daily lives. Thus, this socialization is expected to support the success of the Independent Curriculum by strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile at SMKS Tanjung Priok 2 as the basic character of Indonesia's young generation.

Class Management for Early Childhood Teachers in Mandalawangi District, Pandeglang Regency, Banten
Quality management is essential for the implementation of TPA. Effective and efficient management of Child Care Centers (TPA) is essential to ensure that children's educational needs are met in line with their growth and development, even when parents are busy working. Discussing the quality of early childhood education (PAUD) learning, of course, cannot be separated from its main activity, namely the learning management process (planning, implementation, and assessment) that takes place or is carried out at the PAUD institution concerned. PAUD management must be managed professionally and modernly. Quality PAUD implementation is essential to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of management. This ensures that children's educational needs are met in line with their growth and development, even when parents are busy working. Discussing the quality of early childhood education (PAUD) learning, of course, cannot be separated from its main activity, namely the learning management process (planning, implementation, and assessment) that takes place or is carried out at the PAUD institution concerned. Implementing good and effective classroom management at the PAUD level is crucial because at any time, children's attitudes and actions tend to change according to their growth and development process, the character they form, and their increasingly broad social circle. In order for children to become educated individuals, it is essential for teachers to carry out operational and managerial activities to shape their behavior, actions, attitudes, mentality, and emotions. Furthermore, teachers also need to carry out what is known as the management function.

English Extracurricular Activities: Improving Students' Writing Skills at PB Soedirman 2 Islamic Vocational School
This community service program aimed to enhance the writing skills of vocational high school students through English extracurricular activities. The background of this activity lies in students’ low writing proficiency, as reflected in their difficulties in constructing sentences, limited vocabulary, and lack of confidence in expressing ideas. The training was conducted in four sessions involving 30 students from grades X and XI. The method employed a workshop-based learning approach that combined theoretical input, model texts, step-by-step writing practice, and peer review activities. The training materials included paragraph writing, descriptive texts, recount texts, and creative writing based on students’ interests. The results indicate improvements in students’ ability to write more coherent paragraphs, employ a wider range of vocabulary, and understand text structures appropriate to different genres. In addition, students’ motivation and confidence in writing increased due to the interactive approach and supportive feedback from facilitators. The main challenges encountered were limited vocabulary and inconsistent grammar use. Nevertheless, guided writing strategies and direct feedback enabled students to recognize and correct their mistakes. Overall, this program had a positive impact on improving students’ writing skills and strengthened the role of English extracurricular activities as a platform for fostering students’ interests and talents. For sustainability, it is recommended to implement regular weekly writing activities and initiate writing competitions at the school level.

Digital Education: Healthy Lifestyle and Disease Prevention in Adolescents at Mulia Karya Husada Health Vocational School
Adolescence is a critical transitional period that shapes lifelong health behaviors and risks. In the digital era, adolescents are increasingly exposed to sedentary lifestyles, fast-food consumption, and psychological pressures from social media. These conditions elevate the risk of obesity, non-communicable diseases, and mental health problems. Limited health literacy further increases adolescents’ vulnerability to inaccurate information. Therefore, digital-based education tailored to adolescents’ characteristics is urgently needed. This study aimed to improve adolescents’ knowledge regarding healthy lifestyles and disease prevention through a community service program at SMK Kesehatan Mulia Karya Husada. The implementation consisted of preparing instruments and educational video materials, delivering interactive health education, and conducting evaluations through pre- and post-tests. A total of 30 tenth-grade students participated in the program. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge, with mean pre-test and post-test scores of 66.3 and 81.3, respectively (p < 0.001). Correlation analysis (r = 0.553; p = 0.002) indicated a moderately strong relationship between pre- and post-test scores. Participants’ responses toward the use of short educational videos were highly positive, with 53.3% agreeing and 46.7% strongly agreeing that the media was effective, engaging, and motivating for healthy behavior. In conclusion, digital-based health education effectively enhanced adolescents’ health literacy and can serve as a sustainable strategy to foster healthier and more productive future generations.

Education on the Impact of Fast Food Consumption on Anemia Among Adolescent Students at Bina Husada Mandiri Vocational School, Bekasi.
The most important nutritional problem in Indonesia is anemia. Causes of anemia include infectious diseases, lack of intake (nutrients, folic acid, or vitamin B12), menstrual bleeding, and a lack of knowledge about anemia. To prevent anemia, teenagers can optimize their consumption of foods containing these nutrients. Factors causing anemia in adolescent girls include lifestyle choices, such as poor diet and insufficient vegetable consumption. As teenagers, they often enjoy consuming fast food. Fast food is food that is served quickly, but apart from its practical presentation and delicious taste, the impact of consuming fast food on body health is very bad, one of which is anemia, as anemia is related to menstruation and will persist if not balanced with a nutritious diet where adolescence is a period of growth. The activity began with a site survey and permitting process, along with 40 female students from SMK Bina Husada Mandiri Bekasi. Forty students participated in the activity, which included educational outreach on the impact of fast food consumption on anemia among female students. It is hoped that this education will help prevent anemia in adolescent girls early on. The results of this community service activity can serve as a reference for improving public health and adolescent reproductive health programs.

Microorganism Design On Nails and Hands (Students of Tunas Harapan Vocational School, East Jakarta City)
Human hands are the most common and efficient medium for the spread of pathogenic microorganisms in everyday life. Millions of germs from various species can adhere to and transfer from one individual to another, or from the surface of objects to the body, simply through physical contact. Hand and nail hygiene play a crucial role in preventing infectious diseases because these areas are often colonized by pathogenic microorganisms. This study aimed to identify microorganisms on hands and nails before and after hand hygiene education and to assess the effectiveness of the intervention. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test design. Samples were collected by swabbing the palms, backs of hands, between fingers, and nails using sterile cotton swabs soaked in 0.9% physiological NaCl, and nail scrapings with sterile instruments. Samples were examined by direct examination, smearing the samples on glass slides and then observing them using a light microscope. The intervention, in the form of hand hygiene education, was delivered through lectures, discussions, questions and answers, and demonstrations of handwashing techniques. The results showed the discovery of pathogenic microorganisms in the form of worm eggs (Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworm, Trichuris trichiura). Hand hygiene education has been shown to increase respondents' understanding and improve hygiene practices. In conclusion, simple handwashing education is effective in reducing pathogenic microorganisms and can be used as a community-based infection prevention strategy.

Communication Effectiveness in Public Speaking Training Using the REACH Method for Teenagers
In principle, for society, adolescents are individuals who enter junior high and high school. Vocational high school students are teenagers who need to prepare themselves for the world of work. One important skill in human relations is effective communication skills, which is a bridge so that in the world of work, students' abilities and knowledge can be useful both for themselves and their environment. Public speaking skills are a basic need to support communication skills. Generally, students do not have the ability and courage to speak in public. For this reason, public speaking training is provided to build effective communication skills for adolescents. The activity partners are private vocational schools in the East Jakarta area. Public speaking is a way for humans to convey ideas, opinions, education, or information to an audience. What is conveyed must be understood and comprehended, and the audience must provide a response or feedback as expected. The effectiveness of effective communication in training is measured by the REACH method (Respect, Empathy, Audible, Clarity, Humble). The results obtained by respondents were 83.8% strongly agreed that the training was effective, the implementation of the training. Training materials, instructors, and benefits of the training were strongly agreed at 75.7%. Learning media 78.4%. The REACH method has a strong and significant correlation with communication effectiveness. It requires creating more engaging presentation materials, including dramatization using video, interactive presentations, and less theoretical, with more practical sessions.

Nutrition Education and Sweetened Beverages as an Effort to Prevent Overnutrition and Non-Communicable Diseases in Adolescents
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are drinks that contain added sugar or other sweeteners, which, if consumed excessively over a long period of time, can increase the risk of non-communicable diseases. The 2023 Indonesia Health Survey reported that 48.6% of adolescents aged 15–19 years consumed SSBs 1–6 times per week. Easy access to SSBs contributes to frequent consumption. Muhammadiyah Senior High School Cileungsi is one example of a school with wide access to SSBs, available in the canteen, school cooperative, and vendors around the school. Nutrition and SSB education activities are therefore needed to improve knowledge and support the prevention of overweight and non-communicable diseases. The results of the activity showed that prior to education, all students had consumed SSBs, with an average frequency of 1–3 times per week, while many reported daily consumptions, even more than once per day. Following the educational intervention, a positive change in students’ knowledge was observed, as reflected in an increased percentage of correct answers in most post-test items compared to the pre-test. Continuous education is required to shape adolescents’ attitudes and encourage healthier food and beverage consumption behaviors. Collaboration among families, health professionals, and schools is essential to create a supportive environment through policies aimed at limiting SSB consumption.

Breastfeeding Education for Mothers and Support Systems as Efforts to Achieve Exclusive Breastfeeding Success in Cipenjo Village, Cileungsi, Bogor Regency
Breast milk (ASI) is the primary nutrient for infant growth and development. Breast milk is every child's right to achieve optimal growth and development. Often, babies do not receive exclusive breastfeeding for various reasons, ranging from a lack of parental knowledge, lack of family support, environmental influences, and so on. Failure to breastfeed increases the risk of various health and nutritional problems in infants and toddlers. Therefore, it is important for mothers and their entire support system to understand the importance of successful exclusive breastfeeding and continuing breastfeeding until the age of 2 years. Cadres are part of the system that plays a crucial role in supporting mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding. Therefore, education is needed to increase cadres' knowledge about the importance of breastfeeding and the importance of supporting mothers in successfully providing exclusive breastfeeding. The material provided in the educational activities included the benefits of breast milk, supporting factors for breastfeeding, and methods that can be used to ensure the success of exclusive breastfeeding. The results of the activity showed that 48 cadres from 22 integrated health posts (Posyandu) in Cipenjo Village attended the Community Service Program (PKM) activities. After receiving education about breastfeeding, there was an average increase in knowledge scores of 20% compared to before the education. There needs to be continuous follow-up so that the cadres' knowledge about good breastfeeding can be passed on to the community, especially breastfeeding mothers, so that it forms a mindset that will have a real impact on behavior and increasing the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding.

Character Education Management: Implementation of Anti-Bullying Learning Media in Elementary Schools
Bullying remains a serious problem in elementary schools. Bullying can take both verbal and nonverbal forms, such as teasing, insults, exclusion, and even physical violence. The negative impacts of this behavior include a decreased enthusiasm for learning, impaired student psychological health, and weakened social relationships. Bullying is a common problem in elementary schools and negatively impacts student development. This community service activity aims to reduce bullying behavior through the implementation of character-based learning media, which are integrated into school education management. The program was implemented at SDN Tanjung Barat 04 Pagi, South Jakarta. The methods used included observing media needs, creating learning media (anti-bullying banners, educational posters, and symbol stickers), and declaring an anti-bullying project to students and teachers. The results of the activity showed that students understood the forms of bullying, actively participated in activities, and the school environment became more conducive with the installation of visual learning media. In conclusion, the implementation of simple learning media can increase student awareness of the dangers of bullying and support the formation of a more positive school culture through effective character education management. The educational management approach here involves planning, implementing, and evaluating anti-bullying programs to create a safe and inclusive learning environment.

Reformulating Accounting Practices Using Microsoft Excel for Treasurers in Pesantren Al Hikam Depok
Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are Islamic educational institutions that play a role in providing comprehensive formal Islamic religious education while also providing opportunities for students or santri (Islamic students) to learn in an environment that aligns with Islamic values. Pesantren play a crucial role as drivers of education, da'wah (Islamic outreach), and community empowerment. To ensure financial sustainability and economic independence, pesantren need to implement more transparent and accountable accounting and financial practices. This community service program aims to improve the quality of accounting records and financial reporting at the Al Hikam Islamic Boarding School Foundation through mentoring in the use of Microsoft Excel. Using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, this activity was carried out in four stages: needs analysis, module development, training, and monitoring and evaluation. The results of the needs analysis stage found that units at the Al Hikam Islamic Boarding School have been recording using Microsoft Excel, but there is no specific standard at the Pesantren level. Therefore, accounting records and financial reporting across all units are not yet uniform. The module development was carried out to construct a recording practice format that is in accordance with accounting principles. The results of the training implementation show that units at the Al Hikam Islamic Boarding School have started to use new recording practices, so that the financial reporting of the units to the Foundation has become easier to understand and easier to consolidate. This program provides a real contribution to strengthening the financial governance of Islamic boarding schools independently and sustainably.

Strengthening Nursing Students' Occupational Health and Safety Competencies through a HIRARC-Based Proactive Program in Health Service Risk Management
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is crucial in vocational health education, yet its application in vocational nursing schools remains partial. SMK Keperawatan Bina Medika Jakarta provides adequate facilities but lacks a risk management system based on Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) and an incident reporting culture. This community service program aimed to improve student knowledge, establish a digital incident reporting system, and institutionalize an OHS culture within the school. The program employed educational, participatory, and institutional strengthening approaches through five stages: preparation, hazard identification, counseling, technology implementation, and institutionalization. Results included a HIRARC document identifying 14 hazards (6 high, 5 medium, 3 low), an increase in student knowledge scores (from 58 to 84), and a digital reporting system via website and QR code. The previously inactive School Health Unit (UKS) was revitalized with first aid kits, a digital sphygmomanometer, and hygiene facilities. The program also produced three simulation videos, educational media, one national publication, and three intellectual property rights (IPR). The program effectively enhanced student capacity, strengthened school institutions, and fostered a sustainable safety culture, aligning with SDGs (Goals 3, 4, 8) and university performance indicators (IKU).

Individual Health Education and Free Health Social Services in the Tabligh Akbar Activity of Al Fatah Cileungsi Islamic Boarding School
Bacground The tabligh akbar event at Pesantren Al Fattah Cileungsi involved thousands of participants from various cities, many of whom traveled long distances. Such conditions increase health risks, including fatigue, infectious diseases, and the recurrence of chronic illnesses. Health is one of the fundamental aspects in improving the quality of life and productivity of society. The limited availability of healthcare personnel to serve a large number of attendees highlights the urgent need for accessible and responsive health services. Therefore, a free healthcare program combined with individual health education was implemented as a form of community service. This activity aimed to provide basic medical services while raising participants’ awareness regarding disease prevention, health management during long journeys, and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Health examinations revealed that skin diseases were the most common complaint (10.46%), followed by allergies (9.01%), uric acid (8.72%), and fatigue (8.72%). Meanwhile, influenza was the least reported complaint (3.77%). Notably, 25.87% of participants had no health complaints, although some opted for cupping therapy as an alternative treatment.These findings emphasize the need for integrating medical services with individual health education during large-scale religious gatherings. Recommended strategies include providing adequate health posts, increasing healthcare personnel, and offering continuous education to maintain participants’ health. This program may serve as a model for integrating medical services, health education, and religious development.

Health Education on Anaemia Prevention for Adolescent Girls at SMA Negeri 64 Cipayung Jakarta Timur
Global and national data indicate iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a public health problem, particularly for women starting their first menstruation. A study found that anemia among junior middle school students is driven by complex behavioral issues, including self-image, beauty concepts, and health-seeking behaviors that differ from adult women. Efforts to increase literacy regarding the understanding, risks, impacts, and behaviors related to iron deficiency anemia are essential. The challenge of increasing literacy lies in formulating messages and tools that are easily understood and accepted by adolescent girls. Anemia prevention education through the game of snakes and ladders can be implemented in schools and has been proven to significantly improve the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of adolescent girls at SMA Negeri 64 Cipayung. For optimal results, it is recommended to combine the use of the game with conventional counseling as an introduction, followed by a communication campaign via social media using existing e-flyer design, and advocacy to decision-makers in schools and local government officials using the fact-sheets that was also produced from this activity. It is also recommended to synergize this activity with the free school meal, and hemoglobin level check programs at the beginning of each school year, as well as weekly iron supplementation.

A Digital App-Based Stock Trading Simulation to Improve High School Students' Financial Literacy
The development of digital technology has opened up significant opportunities in education, particularly in strengthening financial literacy among the younger generation. One innovation that can be implemented is the use of digital app-based stock trading simulations among high school students. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of digital stock trading simulations in improving students' understanding of investment instruments, risk management, and rational financial decision-making. The method used in this study is an experimental approach, involving students as participants in simulation activities using a special stock trading application designed to mimic real market conditions. Students are given the opportunity to conduct virtual stock transactions, monitor price movements, and develop short- and long-term investment strategies. The simulation results show a significant increase in basic knowledge of the capital market, understanding of investment risks, and skills in managing simple portfolios. Furthermore, this activity can foster critical, analytical, and disciplined financial management skills from an early age. Therefore, the implementation of digital app-based stock trading simulations can be used as an alternative innovative learning strategy in economics and finance education in schools. The implications of this research provide input for educators to integrate digital financial technology into the curriculum, so that students' financial literacy can be improved sustainably according to the demands of the digital era.
