Abstract

The research aimed to develop a proposed program using community service to enhance the attitudes of young people towards participating in presidential community initiatives. This enhancement includes improving attitudes in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects, as well as personal and societal benefits and involvement in the various fields of these presidential initiatives. This research falls under the category of descriptive studies and employed a social survey methodology with a sample consisting of youth groups, totaling 72 participants. The study found that the level of youth attitudes is high in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects. However, their attitudes towards personal benefits, societal importance, and participation in the fields of presidential initiatives are moderate.
