Sumberejo Village holds significant potential in the agricultural sector, particularly in the cultivation of organic red rice managed by a local farmer group. However, the utilization of the harvest has remained limited to sales in the form of unhusked or milled rice, without further product diversification. To enhance value-added potential and competitiveness, an innovation was introduced to process organic red rice into healthy cereal products. The Community Service Program (KKN) of the University of Jember collaborated with local partners, including a farmer group, the women’s organization (PKK), and the youth association (Karang Taruna) of Sumberejo Village, to conduct education and training activities focused on producing organic red rice-based cereal. The program involved a village potential survey, formulation of the work plan, and hands-on training in production techniques, marketing strategies, and product packaging. The results indicate an increase in the community’s knowledge and skills in diversifying agricultural products. This initiative has successfully created opportunities for entrepreneurship based on local resources and has contributed to strengthening the village’s food security through the sustainable development of economically valuable products.

Character education in elementary schools remains a challenge, particularly with regard to students’ low level of social awareness, the emergence of bullying behavior, and the suboptimal internalization of values such as empathy and tolerance. These conditions indicate limitations in pedagogical approaches to character education that have not yet systematically engaged students in value reflection processes. This community service program aimed to enhance the pedagogical competence of elementary school teachers in implementing character education based on the Value Clarification Technique (VCT). The program was conducted in Sambirejo Village, Semarang Regency, involving 16 teachers from two elementary schools as partner institutions. The service employed a participatory training and mentoring approach, including needs analysis, VCT workshops, mentoring during classroom implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests of teachers’ understanding, observations of instructional practices, and reflective mentoring notes, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis. The results indicate an improvement in teachers’ understanding of VCT concepts and implementation steps, changes in instructional practices toward more dialogical and reflective learning, and improvements in classroom dynamics characterized by increased empathy, mutual respect, and students’ prosocial behavior. These findings demonstrate that VCT-based mentoring is effective in strengthening character education in elementary schools and contributes to the development of a child-friendly and character-oriented school culture.

Maternal mortality in Indonesia remains at 140 per 100,000 live births in 2023, indicating the ongoing need to strengthen promotive and preventive efforts for pregnant women. Limited implementation of Continuity of Care (CoC), inadequate physical activity, and suboptimal nutritional intake contribute to increased maternal health risks. This community service activity aimed to improve maternal health through the YOGITA Program (Yoga Ibu Tangguh & Asupan Gizi Tepat), which is based on a Continuity of Care approach. The program methods included CoC-based mentoring, prenatal yoga classes, and nutritional education delivered to 25 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters within the working area of Kedungwungu Primary Health Center. Data were collected using knowledge questionnaires, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) measurements, hemoglobin level assessments, as well as observations and brief interviews conducted before and after the intervention. The results demonstrated an improvement in maternal knowledge, with the proportion of participants in the “good” category increasing from 76% to 92% following the intervention. Maternal nutritional status was predominantly classified as good, as indicated by normal MUAC in 88% of participants and non-anemic status in 92%. In addition, participants reported improved physical fitness, relaxation, and readiness for childbirth. Program outputs included enhanced maternal capacity, the development of nutritional education posters, and a community-based prenatal yoga class model. This activity contributes to strengthening promotive maternal health efforts through a holistic and sustainable approach and has the potential to be replicated in other primary health care settings.
