Education Assistance and Legal Consultation Related to Community Legal Protection in Digital Transactions
The development of digital technology has encouraged the increasing use of electronic transactions in various walks of life, including in rural areas. However, the rapid utilization of digital transactions has not been balanced with an adequate level of public understanding of the law, causing various legal risks such as online fraud, misuse of personal data, and legal uncertainty in electronic agreements. This community service activity aims to improve the legal literacy of the community through educational assistance and legal consultation related to legal protection in digital transactions. The method used is in the form of legal counseling and direct consultation held in Mekar Jaya village, Duhiadaa District, Pohuwato Regency, involving village officials and the general public. The results of the activities show that the public has been actively using digital transaction services, but still has a limited understanding of the legal rights and obligations as digital consumers. Through practical and contextual education, people are beginning to understand the importance of personal data protection, the validity of electronic agreements, and dispute resolution mechanisms in digital transactions. This legal assistance and consultation proved to be effective in increasing the legal awareness of the public and strengthening their position in facing the risks of digital transactions. This activity is expected to contribute to creating a secure, fair, and equitable digital transaction ecosystem, as well as being a model for sustainable legal service in the era of digital transformation.

Community Outreach and FGD for Women MSE Empowerment: Entrepreneurial Orientation, Financing Access, and Halal Certification
Women-owned Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) play a strategic role in local economic development, yet face persistent challenges including limited managerial capacity, restricted access to financing, and low awareness of halal certification as a competitive strategy. This community service program aimed to enhance the understanding of MSE performance determinants, foster entrepreneurial orientation, and increase halal certification adoption intent among women MSE entrepreneurs in Cibinong, Bogor Regency. The program was delivered through outreach sessions and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving 25 women MSE entrepreneurs selected through purposive and snowball sampling. Pre-test and post-test evaluations were administered to measure knowledge gains and behavioral intent. Results demonstrated significant improvements: prior to the program, only 16% of participants held halal certification and 76% lacked systematic understanding of business performance factors. Following the intervention, 88% expressed intent to obtain halal certification and all participants successfully identified key MSE growth factors including entrepreneurial orientation, owner capacity, human resource quality, social capital, financing access, and government support. Collective strategic recommendations were also formulated through the FGD. These findings confirm that informational barriers—rather than lack of motivation—are the primary obstacle to MSE improvement, and that community-based outreach combined with participatory discussion is an effective empowerment approach.

Analysis of the Difference in Operational Costs to Production Costs in the Free Nutritious Food (MBG) Program at PT Cibatu Perkasa Abadi
This report presents the results of internship activities conducted by the author at PT Cibatu Perkasa Abadi with the title Analysis of the Difference in Operational Costs to Cost of Production in the Free Nutritious Food (MBG) Program at PT Cibatu Perkasa Abadi. Observations during the internship activity showed that the management of operational costs in the MBG Cibatu, Ciaul, and Cibadak kitchens still faced differences between the Cost Budget Plan (RAB) and the actual cost. The difference in costs is caused by fluctuations in the price of raw materials, changes in the number of beneficiaries, and different transportation costs at each kitchen location. This condition has a direct impact on changes in the Cost of Production (HPP) of the food produced. During the internship program, the author was directly involved in recording daily operational costs, preparing RAB, calculating HPP, and analyzing the cost difference between budget and realization. This experience provides a real understanding of the importance of cost control, thorough financial recording, and regular budget evaluation to maintain cost efficiency. It is recommended that companies regularly update their budgets, strengthen supervision of cost recording, and improve coordination between operational and financial departments to minimize cost differences and maintain the stability of the MBG Program's HPP.

The Benefits of E-SAR (Adolescent Anemia Screening) in Efforts to Free Adolescents from Anemia
The problem of anemia among adolescent girls in Indonesia remains a significant challenge due to its high prevalence, primarily due to unbalanced nutritional intake, low consumption of iron-fortified tablets (TTD), and menstrual patterns that increase the risk of iron loss. Currently, in island regions, particularly at the Healthy Teenagers Integrated Health Post (Posyandu), anemia screening is not yet digitally based, so examinations, recording, and reporting of anemia status are still carried out manually without the use of digital technology. This process usually relies on simple examination tools, recording in a register, and reporting using conventional methods, making it prone to delays, errors, and data loss. Therefore, this community service program, which includes outreach on the importance of early anemia detection and the development of guidelines for using the anemia screening website for adolescents, and mentoring cadres and adolescents in website usage, can reduce the incidence of anemia in adolescents. Thus, this program is expected to increase the independence of Posyandu in monitoring adolescent health while strengthening sustainable anemia prevention efforts.

Application of the 5C Principle (Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, Condition) as a Credit Risk Mitigation Tool (Case Study on FIFGROUP Sukabumi Branch)
The provision of credit to retail finance companies such as FIFGROUP Sukabumi Branch has a strategic role in the economy, but it also carries the risk of bad credit or bad loans that can disrupt business liquidity and profitability. The number of bad credit cases that are often accompanied by violations of fiduciary guarantees, such as embezzlement or illegal diversion of vehicles, are a major problem faced by partners. The purpose of this community service initiative is to evaluate risk mitigation by applying the 5Cs (Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, Condition) principles. This will be done using a descriptive qualitative method that uses observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the application of the 5C principle serves as a good initial filter to select customer integrity, financial ability, and collateral availability to reduce the risk of default.

Aging Is Not Enough to Be Healthy Alone: Combating Aging Through “Gokil Muscle Exercise”
Aging is an inevitable biological process that significantly affects physical, psychological, and social functions, particularly among individuals aged 40 years and older. In many communities, aging is commonly perceived as a condition that merely requires the absence of disease, without adequate attention to muscle strength, mobility, and functional independence. This community service program was conducted in Bangetayu Kulon Village, Semarang, Indonesia, to improve the quality of life of middle-aged and elderly residents through an innovative physical activity intervention known as Gokil Muscle Exercise. The program aimed to increase participants’ knowledge, awareness, and practical skills related to muscle strengthening as a strategy to prevent sarcopenia and functional decline. The activities included health education, interactive discussions, pre-test and post-test assessments, and guided exercise training using a combination of seated and standing movements accompanied by cheerful music. A total of 66 participants aged 31–63 years participated in the program. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants’ understanding of sarcopenia, its consequences, and appropriate preventive strategies. Participants also reported increased enthusiasm, enjoyment, and motivation to engage in regular physical activity. The findings suggest that being “healthy” alone is insufficient for successful aging; muscle strength and functional fitness are essential components of healthy aging. The Gokil Muscle Exercise program proved to be a feasible, enjoyable, and effective approach to enhancing physical awareness and promoting active aging in the community.

The Socialization of Managing Avocado Seeds into Healthy Tea is a Business Ideas to Overcome Extreme Poverty
The In Namu Ukur Village, the Community Service Program (KKN) was implemented to educate and teach the locals on how to use avocado seeds as a profitable and healthful tea product. The village's high level of extreme poverty and the amount of wasted avocado seeds served as the impetus for this socialization activity, which calls for straightforward, affordable, and basic business solutions. The initiative included processing demonstrations, awareness seminars, and hands-on support for local adolescents and groups of women. The findings demonstrated that the community could comprehend the cleaning, drying, roasting, and product packaging steps involved in turning avocado seeds into herbal tea. In addition to its health benefits, avocado seed tea has a promising economic future due to its inexpensive manufacturing costs and easily accessible raw materials. Through this program, the residents of Namu Ukur Village learned how to create business concepts based on local resources that may be used as an alternate strategy to boost the local economy and combat extreme poverty.

Website-Based Employee Attendance System with QR Code at PT Sigap Jaya Sampoerna
The development of information technology encourages companies to adopt digital systems to improve employee attendance management. PT Sigap Jaya Sampoerna previously relied on a manual attendance process that caused data inaccuracies, slow recapitulation, and limited supervision. This study aims to design and implement a web-based employee attendance system integrated with QR Code technology to improve efficiency and accuracy. The system was developed using the Waterfall method, consisting of requirements analysis, system design, implementation, and testing stages. The system enables QR Code-based attendance recording and real-time monitoring of employee presence. The results show that the proposed system simplifies attendance processes, reduces recording errors, and improves transparency in attendance data management. This study proves that a web-based QR Code attendance system can effectively support digital transformation in employee attendance management in private companies.

Easy Steps to Build a Digital Business Showcase by Creating a Simple Website
The digital divide phenomenon in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 remains a major barrier to the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Many business actors still rely on manual showcases or social media platforms that are vulnerable to algorithm changes. This community service activity aims to provide a solution through a Webinar and Workshop program entitled “Rakit Etalase Digitalmu,” which introduces websites as professional and independent digital showcases. The program was implemented in two stages: community education (webinar) and technical training (workshop) covering basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests showed an average correct response rate of 86% in the pre-test and 82% in the post-test, which does not yet indicate a quantitative improvement, although participants’ understanding remained in the good category. Feedback results revealed a high level of participant satisfaction, with an average rating of approximately 4.2 out of 5, and demonstrated meaningful gains in knowledge and experience in developing websites as digital showcases for MSMEs.

Development of a Simple Business Website for Young Entrepreneurs Using Bootstrap
The utilization of digital technology has become essential in business development. However, many young entrepreneurs, students, and members of the general public still face difficulties in developing professional business websites due to limited technical knowledge and lack of structured guidance. This community service program aimed to enhance participants’ digital literacy and practical skills in developing responsive business websites using the Bootstrap framework. The program applied an educative and participatory method through online webinars and hands-on workshops. Webinar sessions delivered conceptual materials on business websites, web development fundamentals, responsive design, and Bootstrap introduction, while workshop sessions provided direct guidance for building website structures and implementing Bootstrap components. Program effectiveness was measured using pretest, posttest, and participant feedback. The pretest results showed an average score of 79.5 with varied initial understanding. After the program, the posttest average increased to 92.32, with most participants achieving high scores. Participant feedback also indicated high satisfaction with material relevance, instructor competence, and online service quality. These results demonstrate that the combination of webinars and workshops effectively improves participants’ knowledge, digital literacy, and ability to independently develop Bootstrap-based business websites.
