By integrating a learning experience with community organizations, service-learning (SL) can be considered a tool to facilitate rural communities’ development, acting as a resource mobilizer. This study presents a participatory process based on the assets-based approach for community development approach. Six local organizations and 16 university students in three Italian rural communities were engaged to assess local resources and co-construct rural SL (RSL) projects. A two-phase rural participative process was developed and evaluated using qualitative instruments, such as focus groups and students’ reflexive journals. Results indicated that rural communities uncovered a set of material and intangible inner assets to develop. Indeed, they identified internal (and potentially external) resources that could effectively bring some insights to rural challenges. Moreover, community members experienced new paths through SL to count on their internal assets through effective collaboration with university students. The collaboration between students (and university) and community organizations delivered new local and rural development opportunities while supporting the partnership for RSL. Students experienced themselves as potential agents of change, enhancing their psychosocial resources and competencies, and strengthening rural development. The result’s implications involve the development of rural policies, including effective participation of rural communities (and organizations) and regarding different dimensions of development, like economic or psychosocial development.

The Rural Activation & Innovation Network (RAIN) project was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) (DRL#: 161255) from 2017 through 2021. The purpose of the project was to engage, support, and better understand rural communities in changing perceptions of the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) learning to public education and the local economy, as well as leveraging local resources and expertise to support STEM learning. The literature indicates that STEM thinking and science literacy helps people to logically, systematically, and critically identify and solve problems and issues facing their communities. Using science and evidence-based facts and information helps to empower communities to engage in civic action, to organize, and to influence policies that help improve the human condition. This article is a case study of four rural regions located in the southwest region of the United States. It presents key stages of the RAIN project that have contributed toward sustaining the development of informal STEM learning opportunities in these regions. It brings together research and evaluation efforts that include survey data collected from community members and Regional Innovation Councils (RICs) in each of the four RAIN project regions, as well as interviews with key stakeholders and document review. The findings and discussion provide insights and strategies for development of sustainable community-supported STEM learning ecosystems in rural areas of the United States that meet their unique needs and identities.

This paper explores how the selection of peer researchers influences and shapes peer research projects. It draws on two empirical studies formed from two community action projects in England. Peer research is a method for involving young people as coresearchers within their community or in specific settings such as educational environments and the two projects recruited school children of different ages and ethnic backgrounds; in both cases they were representative of the potential participant population. One project (Community House) was based in a junior school setting and concentrated on evaluating a community centre project. The second project (Knife Angel: Hear My Voice) was a youth work setting and brought together a group of young people to explore an intervention aimed at impacting crime and violence in the local community. This paper discusses how the demographic characteristics of the peer researchers shaped, influenced and impacted the success of both community action projects. We discuss how children and young people bring their unique skills to preparing the questionnaire and dissemination. Using researcher reflexivity, we consider the methodological implications of the findings and contribute to theory building about community action and the impact of participatory research.

This study explores an alternative way for tojisha—a Japanese term that usually translates to ‘the parties concerned’ and ‘who face challenges’—to represent themselves. Specifically, it investigates how tojisha can develop self-advocacy skills using the narrative method that facilitates storytelling and community broadcasting. To this end, we scheduled community radio programmes with the aid of a local social worker, five individuals involved in self-help activities, and their supporters. The structured format of the broadcast enabled the tojisha to talk about their difficulties, desires, and ambitions. Data acquired through pre- and post-activity interviews were analysed to understand how storytelling and community radio help tojisha acquire self-advocacy skills. First, we found that the narrative method enabled the participants to bridge their past and future and contemplate the significance of their difficult experiences. Second, the ‘public’ experience of broadcasting helped the participants gain social awareness, particularly regarding the significance of how their storytelling can initiate social change. The broadcast format developed for this study will be useful to other disadvantaged groups considering the use of media for self-advocacy.

The COVID-19 pandemic decreased Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Therefore, This community service program aims to improve community welfare through the development of MSMEs based on local wisdom in Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra. Nan Sabaris District, Padang Pariaman Regency has several MSMEs producing various products, especially Padang Pariaman speciality cakes. Pauh Kambar village is a culinary destination in Nan Sabaris District. Not all MSMEs in the Pauh Kambar Village were well managed. There was potential products development, but their production and marketing were still limited. The main focus of this MSMEs development program was empowerment through business training and mentoring. This program included business management, financial management, product packaging, and online marketing training. In addition, it also performed family empowerment in the target community. This program focused on the strengthening phase of the community empowerment program. The program evaluations showed that the beneficiaries were very satisfied with the training and business monitoring program. In addition, the program was very effective for beneficiaries in business management abilities, marketing management, business motivation, business turnover, and parenting knowledge. Furthermore, beneficiaries had increased a business turnover of approximately IDR 1.5 million/month and an average income of IDR 750 thousand/month after receiving training and mentoring programs. The MSMEs development program and family empowerment are satisfactory and effective for MSMEs actors in Pauh Kambar Village. The community service team will recommend partners receive financial assistance from other programs and build cooperation with various stakeholders.

The pandemic affects Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as an economic sub-sector. MSMEs products have marketing problems, so many unsold products. Traditional marketing strategies can not reach a vast market share, so income significantly declined during the Covid-19 pandemic. In Kejuron Ward, Taman District, the Madiun City, MSMEs actors consist of several industrial sectors such as food and clothing sales. During the COVID-19 pandemic, MSMEs actors in the Kejuron Ward tried to use alternatives to online selling. However, promotions in online selling were still not optimal to attract customers as offline promotions. The target issues were a lack of knowledge in digital marketing and less attractive products. Mentoring MSMEs through e-promotion as a rebranding strategy based on local wisdom was an effort to overcome the partners' problems. The empowerment model used in this community service was participatory assistance through lectures, discussions, and practices methods. There were significant differences in success indicators before and after socialization and practice regarding e-promotion as a local wisdom-based rebranding strategy. The most significant increase was knowledge levels which improved by 50% after the socialization. Thus, this community service could increase innovation and creativity in the target community and solve MSMEs' business problems in Kejuron Ward. In conclusion, mentoring MSMEs through e-promotion as a rebranding strategy based on local wisdom increases partners' knowledge in digital marketing, more attractive products packaging, and updated MSMEs' products with trending products. There should be ongoing assistance and communication to support the sustainability of this program

Based on interviews with a partner, the following community partner issues were lack of medicinal plants gardens around the Al Mubarak Sudiang Islamic boarding school, lack of knowledge and introduction to the types of plants with medicinal properties, and lack of knowledge about the health benefits of medicinal plants. Using traditional medicinal plants is the community's active participation in solving health problems. The community service partner were students in Al Mubarak boarding school. The solution to overcome the partner's problems was empowerment with a participatory learning approach emphasizing learning through consultation, training, coaching, and demonstration/simulation of medicinal plant cultivation and utilization. Then, the authors evaluated program implementation and sustainability before and after activities. The evaluation showed increased achievement levels in all success indicators. Thus, this community service had significant benefits for all participants. In conclusion, the empowerment of students in Al Mubarak Sudiang Islamic Boarding School can increase their knowledge in medicinal plants cultivation and utilization, skills in medicinal plants cultivation, and medicinal plants utilization. The local government should support and participate in the sustainability of this community service through small industries producing healthy drinks from medicinal plants.

The spread of drugs is almost unavoidable. Given that almost the entire world's population can easily get drugs from irresponsible people. Today, drug abuse has reached an alarming situation that has become a state problem. This is very concerning because victims of narcotics abuse in Indonesia have recently tended to increase and include limited groups of people who can afford it and penetrated the underprivileged community and involve children or young teenagers, something that is somewhat difficult. It's worrying considering that they are the generation that hopes to continue the nation's survival in honor. As one of the efforts to prevent drug abuse among the younger generation at Al-Ma'un Shelter Bengkulu, the PPM team intends to educate and increase understanding of the children of the Al-Ma'un Shelter also children's parents. Regarding drug abuse among young people. With the proposed community service, it is hoped to increase education and understanding and legal awareness of the children of the Al-Ma'un Shelter in Bengkulu City as a form of child protection.
