Abstract

Background: One of the essential aspects of higher education in Indonesia is the Global Community Engagement Program, which serves as a real-world application of students' academic knowledge. The program, typically implemented during undergraduate studies, is an opportunity for students to contribute to community development. The students of Institut Miftahul Huda Al-Azhar, located in Banjar City, West Java, Indonesia, conducted their program in Pasirlawang Village, Purwadadi Subdistrict, Ciamis Regency. The program was designed to address local challenges and promote advancement in key sectors such as religion, economy, social welfare, and culture.

Methods: The research methods used in this program were a combination of observation and field research. Over the course of 40 days (August 5, 2024 to September 10, 2024), students engaged with local residents to assess community needs and implemented various initiatives designed to foster development in multiple sectors.

Results: The Global Community Engagement Program successfully identified the strengths and weaknesses of Pasirlawang Village. It raised awareness in the community and introduced sustainable initiatives in religious practices, economic ventures, and social welfare. Students provided practical solutions that utilized the village's vast natural resources to stimulate growth.

Discussion: Although the village possesses significant religious and natural assets, it faces challenges in human resources. The program was able to empower the youth, provide new knowledge, and help enhance innovation in the region.

Conclusion: This initiative is an example of how global expertise can be used to empower local communities, fostering self-sufficiency and progress. It offers a valuable model for future community-based programs.

Novelty: The novelty of this program lies in its combination of academic knowledge with local community development, promoting a collaborative approach to rural empowerment.

Keywords:
