Abstract

Community Service (KKN) is a form of implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher
Education in the field of community service, aimed at improving the quality of life of
the community through various empowerment programs. The KKN program in
Sungai Jambur Village, IX Koto Sungai Lasi District, Solok Regency, focused on
optimizing local culture through character education and community empowerment
as a strategy to improve community welfare. The work program included activities
for the Tataboga Hidayah MSME program, collaboration with the Carano Minang
Art Studio, outreach on the impacts of drug use, outreach on stunting at integrated
health posts (Posyandu), mentoring for dawn prayer activities, scouting training,
and outreach on the dangers of gadgets.
The Community Service (KKN) program in Sungai Jambur Village aims to optimize
local cultural potential through character education and community empowerment
as a strategy to improve welfare. The program implementation method uses a
participatory approach, directly involving the community in each program.
Implementation techniques include observation, interviews, outreach, training,
mentoring, and activity evaluation. Results indicate increased public awareness of
the importance of character education, health, local cultural preservation, and
community economic development through MSMEs. Furthermore, the younger
generation is becoming more active in social, cultural, and religious activities.
This Community Service Program (KKN) activity is expected to become a
sustainable community-based development strategy to improve the welfare of the
Sungai Jambur community.
