Wahyu Dini Candra Susila — 2026-06-30

Functional decline and limited access to health services in rural areas are contributing factors to the low quality of life of the elderly. This community service program aims to improve the quality of life of the elderly through the implementation of community-based Activity Daily Living (ADL) fulfillment activities. The method used is the Community Based Research (CBR) approach which includes four stages: laying the foundation, planning, information gathering and analysis, and acting on finding. The activity was implemented through participatory education with interactive lecture techniques and practical simulations involving 100 elderly in Karangwerdha Ledokombo, Jember. The program evaluation was conducted using a knowledge questionnaire on quality of life through a pre-test and post-test mechanism. The results of the activity showed an increase in the quality of life of participants as indicated by an increase in the average score from 59.68 in the pre-test to 74.23 in the post-test. This increase was supported by the high participation of elderly in activities and the presence of social support from the surrounding environment. This activity concluded that community-based interventions through the fulfillment of ADL activities are effective in improving the quality of life of the elderly. Strengthening family and social support on an ongoing basis is needed to support the realization of healthy, independent, and productive elderly.

This Community Service activity aims to improve the capacity of the Insan Muria Bakti Pertiwi Kudus Foundation management in preparing transparent and accountable financial reports in accordance with Interpretasi Standar Akuntansi Keuangan (ISAK) 335 for non-profit entities. The problem faced by the foundation is a financial recording system that is still simple and does not meet applicable accounting standards.

This approach allows for identification of needs and the development of solutions in a participatory manner with the foundation management.

The application of these standards produces financial information that is more relevant, easy to understand, and can be accounted for to stakeholders, especially donors. This activity concluded that assistance in preparing ISAK 335-based financial reports effectively increases transparency and accountability in the foundation's financial management and supports the sustainability of non-profit organization governance. Going forward, these efforts need to be strengthened through the development of a digital financial reporting system to improve the efficiency and sustainability of organizational management.

Dian Ayu Syafitri — 2026-06-30

Basic education plays a strategic role in shaping the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual foundations of students. MI Roudlotut Tholibin Warukulon implements a Deep Learning approach as an effort to improve the quality of education in line with the Independent Curriculum. Deep Learning in the educational context is defined as an in-depth learning approach that emphasizes holistic, reflective, and meaningful conceptual understanding, rather than as artificial intelligence technology. Initial investigations indicate that this approach has the potential to improve students' conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills. However, its implementation still faces challenges such as curriculum readiness, teacher competency, and limited supporting facilities. As a follow-up, a two-day mentoring activity was conducted, focusing on strengthening deep learning concepts and developing learning instrument skills. This community service activity aims to strengthen deep learning concepts and develop learning instrument skills. This activity uses the Service Learning method with stages of investigation, team formation, preparation, action, reflection, and demonstration. This service activity has resulted in a paradigm shift in learning towards a more active, reflective, collaborative, and enjoyable approach through the integration of Meaningful Learning, Mindful Learning, and Joyful Learning.

Pengembangan Jiwa Kewirausahaan RISMA Masjid di Takwa Gebang

Mutia Azizah Nuriana — 2026-06-29

Remaja Islam Masjid (RISMA) plays a crucial role in supporting the mosque's role as a center for community development and empowerment, including in the economic sector. However, the economic potential of RISMA members is often underdeveloped due to low levels of entrepreneurial literacy, limited business experience, and a lack of ongoing mentoring. Most RISMA activities focus on religious activities, leaving economic empowerment a primary focus. To address these issues, a community service activity was conducted at the At Taqwa Gebang Mosque using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method. This method actively involved RISMA members in problem identification, entrepreneurship training, business mentoring, and joint evaluation. The results of the activities showed an increase in entrepreneurial understanding, the emergence of mosque-based business initiatives, and increased independence and participation among RISMA members.
