ABSTARCT

The Integrated Social Community Service Program (KKS-T) is a form of student community engagement carried out through various programs tailored to the needs of the village. This article discusses the implementation of KKS-T in Botungobungo Village, Kwandang District, North Gorontalo Regency for 40 days. The methods used in this program were participatory and educational approaches, involving the community directly in every activity. Various programs were implemented, including Road to School, character building for children, Qur’an learning activities, mosque cleanliness campaigns, sports and religious events, community visits, group Qur’an recitation, and tree planting activities. These programs aimed to increase public awareness of the importance of education, strengthen religious values, maintain environmental cleanliness, strengthen social relationships, and build togetherness between students and the community. The results of the KKS-T implementation showed that the people of Botungobungo Village had high enthusiasm for every activity carried out. The presence of students not only provided benefits through work programs but also strengthened emotional, social, and family relationships between students and the community. Through this activity, students gained real experience in understanding community conditions, while the community received additional knowledge, motivation, and support in various aspects of life.
