Abstract

The Community Empowerment Institution (Lembaga Pemberdayaan Masyarakat, LPM) in Bojong Menteng Village, Indonesia, plays a vital role in uplifting the local community and enhancing well-being through various social and economic initiatives. This community service project aims to bolster LPM’s ability to tackle challenges such as limited resources and low public engagement. Adopting a participatory approach, this outreach program brings together various stakeholders, including local residents, youth, and community leaders, to develop collaborative solutions that meet the community’s needs. The strategies used include focus group discussions, skills training, and promoting LPM programs to improve their effectiveness and efficiency. The outcomes of this outreach initiative include heightened public awareness of LPM’s role, increased community involvement in LPM activities, and strengthened capacity for LPM to carry out sustainable programs. Recommendations from this initiative emphasize the need to enhance collaboration between LPM and local government, as well as the importance of ongoing training for LPM members to navigate increasingly complex challenges. This initiative seeks to strengthen LPM’s role in tackling community empowerment challenges, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of LPM programs and foster greater community involvement. The participatory approach focuses on engaging various local stakeholders through discussions, training, and outreach activities. By encouraging active community participation, LPM can gather more diverse input and support. The outreach program has successfully raised public awareness about LPM’s role, increased citizen participation in LPM activities, and improved LPM’s ability to implement sustainable programs. It is advisable for LPM to enhance its collaboration with local government and regularly hold training sessions for its members to effectively address the changing challenges of community empowerment.
