DIGITAL MARKETING ASSISTANCE THROUGH WEBSITE CREATION TO IMPROVE SAMBAL SIMBOK PRODUCT SALES
Digital marketing has become a strategic necessity for small-scale agro-industry groups, yet its adoption among community-based producers remains limited. This community service activity aimed to improve the digital marketing capacity of Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) Larasati in Andongsari Village, Jember Regency, through website-based training and assistance. KWT Larasati produces Sambal Simbok, a packaged chili product with strong local potential but constrained market reach due to limited digital literacy among its members. The activity was carried out in three stages: pre-implementation surveys, website development training using Google Sites, and post-training evaluation. A pre-test and post-test instrument comprising multiple-choice items was administered to 14 participants to assess changes in understanding of website utilization as a marketing medium. Results indicated a significant increase in correct responses across all ten evaluation indicators, from a pre-test average of 63.3% to a post-test average of 97.3%. The normalized gain (N-Gain) score was 0.93, categorized as high, indicating substantial learning outcomes from the intervention. Participants demonstrated improved understanding of website functions as a 24-hour online store, product content management, and consumer trust-building through testimonials and contact features. The findings suggest that structured digital marketing training combined with direct website-building assistance can effectively enhance the digital marketing capacity of women farmer groups. Follow-up mentoring and integration with social media platforms are recommended to sustain the impact of this activity.

EXPLORATION OF AGROFORESTRY POTENTIAL FOR COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT AND FOREST-BASED RURAL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT IN MERU BETIRI NATIONAL PARK
Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP) possesses significant agroforestry potential through various non-timber forest products and rehabilitation crops, including mango, petai (Parkia speciosa), banana, avocado, and medicinal plants. However, these commodities are predominantly marketed as fresh products, resulting in low added value for local communities. In addition, the management of organic waste generated from agroforestry-based activities remains suboptimal, creating environmental concerns. This community service program aimed to identify agroforestry potential, strengthen community capacity, and promote the development of forest village industries based on local resources to support both community empowerment and conservation objectives. The program employed a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach involving coordination, participatory mapping, problem identification, joint planning, training, mentoring, and evaluation activities. Participants included community groups, village authorities, park managers, and academics. The activities focused on enhancing community knowledge of sustainable agroforestry practices, value-added product development, and organic waste utilization. The results demonstrated that local communities possess strong potential to develop agroforestry-based enterprises utilizing locally available commodities. Training and mentoring activities improved community awareness and skills regarding sustainable agroforestry management, product diversification, and circular economy practices. Composting was identified as the most feasible organic waste management alternative due to its simplicity, affordability, and compatibility with local community conditions. Furthermore, the program strengthened collaboration between local communities and Meru Betiri National Park managers in supporting conservation efforts and sustainable resource utilization. In conclusion, agroforestry has considerable potential to serve as a foundation for forest village industry development, contributing to improved community welfare while maintaining ecological sustainability. Continued mentoring, institutional strengthening, and support for local enterprise development are recommended to ensure the long-term sustainability of the program.

HALAL FOOD AND PUBLIC SPEAKING EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS AT ATH-THOYBAH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Knowledge about halal food and drinks is an important thing that Muslims must know, especially for elementary school students. The ability to speak in public (public speaking) is also a skill that should be taught from an early age. Through a community service activity at SD Islam Ath Thoybah, we tried to educate the younger generation about the importance of knowing halal food and improving their public speaking skills. The method used in this activity was giving presentations about halal food, halal logos, and public speaking through interactive methods and educational games. After this activity, the 5th and 6th-grade students of SD Ath Thoybah showed a change in behavior. They became braver to stand up and share their opinions about types of halal food and drinks in front of the class. Therefore, this public speaking program needs to be continued to improve students' skills and reach more people (such as 4th, 5th, and 6th graders in the next period). Hopefully, it can make students more confident, at least in expressing their opinions.

EFFECTIVENESS OF THE DAGUSIBU EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM IN ENHANCING COMMUNITY KNOWLEDGE ON PROPER MEDICINE MANAGEMENT AT POSYANDU ASTER 99, JEMBER KIDUL
Cases of Drug misuse, including overdose, poisoning, inappropriate self-medication, and improper drug storage and disposal, remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia. Limited public knowledge regarding the proper ways to obtain, use, store, and dispose of medicines contributes substantially to these problems. Many people still assume that all legally marketed medicines can be purchased from any source and that all medications have similar instructions for use and storage. Such misconceptions increase the risk of drug misuse, reduce therapeutic effectiveness, and may negatively affect both human health and the environment. To address this issue, the Indonesian Pharmacists Association (Ikatan Apoteker Indonesia/IAI) introduced the DAGUSIBU program, which stands for Get, Use, Store, and Dispose of Medicines Properly, with the aim of improving public awareness and promoting rational drug management. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of health education based on the DAGUSIBU program in improving community knowledge regarding proper medication management. A descriptive analytic study with a quasi-experimental design was employed. The respondents consisted of 24 mothers and community health volunteers from Posyandu Aster 99, Jember Kidul Village, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test questionnaires administered before and after the health education session. Normality testing indicated that the data were not normally distributed; therefore, statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results demonstrated an improvement in participants' knowledge following the educational intervention. The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of 0.035 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. These findings suggest that health education based on the DAGUSIBU program is effective in enhancing community knowledge of proper medication management and has the potential to promote the rational and safe use of medicines.

In Dusun Darungan, Desa Jubung, many parents tend to use gadgets as substitutes for caregiving because of daily activities, resulting in reduced parent–child interaction and increased risk of gadget addiction in children. This community service program aimed to enhance parents’ knowledge and awareness of their role in preventing gadget addiction in preschool children through GEMA CERIA (Minimal Gadget Movement, Creating Close Child Interaction Spaces) health education. The program was conducted at PAUD Nurul Hidayah using health education methods that combined counseling, demonstrations, and interactive discussions, supported by educational leaflets. The target participants were parents and preschool children aged 3–6 years. Evaluation was carried out through oral pre-test and post-test assessments. The results showed an improvement in parents’ understanding of the dangers of excessive gadget use, signs of gadget addiction, and the importance of limiting screen time while increasing direct social interaction and alternative stimulating activities. Parents also demonstrated increased awareness of their role as role models in gadget use. In conclusion, GEMA CERIA health education effectively increased parental awareness and understanding in preventing gadget addiction among preschool children. It is recommended that parents consistently apply screen time limitations, select age-appropriate content, and actively engage in interactive, non-gadget-based activities to support optimal child development.

EMPOWERMENT OF CRISPY LEMPUK FISH ENTERPRISES AS A SPECIALTY OF RANU GRATI TOURISM
Ranuklindungan Village is a tourism village that features a lake as one of its main tourist attractions. The lake, known as Ranu Grati Lake, is home to a unique local fish called lempuk fish. Lempuk fish are found exclusively in Ranu Grati Lake and cannot be cultivated. They are small in size, similar to anchovies, but unlike anchovies, lempuk fish live in freshwater and have a very different taste and texture. Lempuk fish can be processed into various food products, such as pepes (steamed in banana leaves), chili-seasoned dishes, crispy snacks, and many others. Lempuk fish have become a distinctive local specialty and a popular souvenir for visitors to Ranu Grati Lake. The crispy lempuk fish business around Ranuklindungan Village remains highly traditional, as sales rely solely on pamphlets and word-of-mouth promotion. As a result, only certain visitors who frequently come to Ranu Grati Lake are aware of this local specialty. One resident of Ranuklindungan Village depends on the crispy lempuk fish business as a source of household income. However, due to a decline in consumers’ purchasing power, the business has experienced a decrease in buyers and orders, which has directly affected daily income. This empowerment program aims to help increase the sales of the crispy lempuk fish business amid the weakening purchasing power of the community, enabling the business to grow and generate higher profits than before. The program assists business partners in marketing their products through social media so that their products are not only recognized by the local community but also by a wider audience. Products that are known to a broader public have a greater chance of being sold compared to those recognized only within the surrounding area.
IMPLEMENTATION OF SOIL PH MEASUREMENT TRAINING TO IMPROVE AGRICULTURAL SOIL QUALITY IN LANGKAP VILLAGE, JEMBER
Soil pH management is a crucial factor in improving soil quality and agricultural productivity. This community service activity aimed to enhance the understanding and skills of members of the Usaha Tani Farmer Group in Desa Langkap, Bangsalsari District, Jember Regency, in measuring and managing soil pH. The implementation method adopted a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, including stages such as initial condition assessment, preparation of training materials, field practice using a VT-05 portable soil pH meter, and evaluation and follow-up. Soil pH measurements in the partner’s field ranged from 5.0 to 6.3 with an average of 5.8, which is within the optimal range for rice growth. All participants were able to independently measure soil pH and understand liming procedures to adjust soil pH according to crop requirements. The training also increased the partners’ awareness of the relationship between soil pH, nutrient availability, and potential economic benefits of farming. The community service demonstrated that the use of simple technology, accompanied by intensive mentoring, is effective in enhancing farmers’ capacity and promoting sustainable soil management practices.

IMPROVEMENT OF COMMUNITY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS (TB) THROUGH OUTREACH ACTIVITIES AT SUKORAMBI HEALTH CENTER
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most serious public health challenges in the service area of Sukorambi Primary Health Center, Jember Regency. This issue became increasingly concerning with the high number of pediatric TB cases reported in 2022. Such conditions are closely related to the low level of public knowledge and awareness regarding TB, resulting in many cases not being detected at an early stage. Delayed diagnosis increases the risk of transmission within families and communities and worsens the health condition of patients, particularly among vulnerable groups such as children. In response to this situation, this community service activity was conducted with the aim of improving public knowledge about TB as an initial step in disease prevention and control efforts. The method employed was an interactive discussion combined with educational media in the form of posters and leaflets. The educational materials covered the definition of TB, its causes, signs and symptoms, modes of transmission, preventive measures, and principles of proper and complete treatment. To assess the effectiveness of the activity, an evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test questionnaires consisting of nine multiple-choice questions. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to examine changes in participants’ knowledge levels before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant improvement in community knowledge, as indicated by an increase in the average post-test scores compared to the pre-test scores. This finding demonstrates that the use of simple yet informative visual media is effective in enhancing public understanding, even though the implementation of interactive discussions faced limitations due to variations in participants’ literacy levels.

GUIDANCE AND EVALUATION OF IRRIGATION WATER AVAILABILITY IN THE KAROMAH FARMERS GROUP AREA, SUMBER ANYAR VILLAGE, MLANDINGAN DISTRICT, SITUBONDO SUBDISTRICT
Limited irrigation water availability is one of the main factors contributing to the low Cropping Index (CI) in non-technical irrigated and rainfed paddy fields, particularly in areas with inadequate irrigation infrastructure. The Karomah Farmer Group in Sumberanyar Village, Mlandingan District, Situbondo Regency represents a potentially productive agricultural area facing similar challenges due to damaged irrigation networks and changes in river morphology following flood events. This community service activity aims to evaluate the balance between irrigation water demand and availability and to formulate appropriate irrigation infrastructure recommendations through a participatory approach. The method applied was a Survey, Investigation, and Design (SID), involving the collection of primary data through field observations, farmer group interviews, and surveys of existing conditions, as well as secondary data from climatological records. Water availability analysis was conducted using the F.J. Mock method to determine dependable discharge, while irrigation water demand was calculated using the Net Field Requirement (NFR) method. The results indicate a significant imbalance between water availability and demand during the dry season, which adversely affects the (CI). Based on topographic conditions and the potential risk of flash floods, the proposed infrastructure recommendation is the construction of a storage tank or infiltration control basin as an adaptive and safe solution. Participatory assistance and design are expected to support agricultural land optimization, increase the (CI), and ensure the sustainability of water resources management in the Karomah Farmer Group area.
