Providing balanced nutrition for children and adolescents is a crucial aspect in supporting optimal growth and development. However, in community-based childcare services, particularly church-based Child Service Centers (PPA), food provision is often not tailored to energy and portion requirements by age group. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of PPA tutors in providing healthy food for children and adolescents through practical nutrition training. The activity employed an educational-participatory approach through seminars and practical workshops. The one-day activity involved 21 tutors from seven PPAs in Jayapura City. The training materials covered energy requirements by age, determining portion sizes and food composition, and hands-on practice in preparing meals for children, adolescents, and adults. The results showed that participants were able to understand target energy needs, determine appropriate food portions, and practice preparing meals by age group through the workshop activities. A synthesis of the results indicated that the combination of material delivery and hands-on practice was effective in addressing the tutors' limited understanding of the application of balanced nutrition principles. This activity was concluded to strengthen the capacity of tutors as key actors in providing food at PPAs. The contribution of this activity lies in the development of a contextual and relevant practice-based nutrition training model for community-based childcare services in Papua, with the potential for replication in similar contexts.
