Every individual is born with various potentials, and as they age, these potentials will develop according to their interests and talents. For these interests and talents to grow and develop, concrete efforts are needed to develop this potential. The approach used in this service activity follows the principles of Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), which involves stages such as Inculturation, Discovery, Design, Define, and Reflection. The primary purpose of this community service activity is to stimulate talents and interests and instil the values ​​of ukhuwah Islamiyah in children in Menggare Village by holding the Islamic Youth Festival.
