Personal Branding Pendidik Tari dalam Pemberdayaan Komunitas Seni Sebagai Pewaris Budaya
In the modern era, personal branding is increasingly important for individuals, including educators. Educators with strong personal branding can influence public perception of them and have a positive impact on the quality of education provided. In the context of arts education, particularly dance, educators serve not only as teachers but also as preservers and inheritors of culture. Therefore, dance educators are expected to have good personal branding so they can serve as role models for their students and the community. The current phenomenon is a lack of attention to the development of personal branding among dance educators. Many educators focus only on technical teaching skills, while aspects of strengthening their self-image and their role as agents of cultural preservation receive little attention. However, educators with strong personal branding can inspire their students to preserve traditional culture, which is increasingly marginalised by modernisation. Research indicates that effective personal branding strengthens the relationship between educators and students and increases the likelihood of greater appreciation for dance as part of cultural identity. This service is also related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 11 (Cultural Engagement in Sustainable Communities) (1) The personal branding of dance educators can play a role in empowering the arts community by encouraging community involvement in cultural preservation. Qualitative research methods with a case study approach will be used to explore in depth how the personal branding of dance educators influences the empowerment of the arts community and cultural preservation.

Bintang Donor: Pembuatan Aplikasi Relawan Donor Darah Universitas Sumatera Utara dan Penggalangan Relawan Sebagai Manifestasi Generasi Bintang yang Peduli Kemanusiaan
Blood, as a vital component, has essential functions in the human body, including nutrient circulation, oxygen transport, and hormone distribution. A shortage of blood supply can be fatal, making an adequate blood supply in healthcare facilities crucial for saving patients' lives and maintaining the continuity of the medical service system. Despite its clear importance, challenges in meeting blood needs still frequently occur, primarily due to a lack of public awareness about the urgency and benefits of blood donation, as well as uneven understanding of the process and donor eligibility criteria. This phenomenon is exacerbated by fluctuating donation rates, an aging population demographic, and socioeconomic shifts that impact the sustainable availability of donors. The partner in this community service is the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) of Medan City, located at Jl. Palang Merah No. 17 Medan. PMI Medan City offers several services such as ambulance, disaster management, training, social service units, and blood donation. The partner's problems are the public's lack of awareness of the importance of blood donation, minimal socialization and information about blood donation, and unstable blood stock availability, making it important to maintain the amount of available blood stock. Based on the partner's problems, the solutions offered in this service are raising awareness, capacity building, and empowering the community thru the creation of the Bintang Donor application and the formation of blood donation volunteers. The benefits obtained are that by forming blood donation volunteers, knowledge, awareness, and public health are increased thru blood donation, blood stock availability can be maintained so that it remains stable, and it becomes easier for the public to obtain information and blood donation locations. The planned outputs of this program are: a journal of the activity results, a video of the activity implementation, publications in mass/online media, and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).

Solusi Ramah Lingkungan Mengolah Sampah Organik Melalui Budidaya Maggot Di Pesantren Ulumul Quran Stabat Kabupaten Langkat
The drastic increase in the volume of organic waste is an unavoidable consequence of population growth and rapid development, both in rural and urban areas. This condition is exacerbated by urbanization and rising living standards, which are directly correlated with an increase in per capita waste production. The phenomenon of urbanization, particularly in Indonesia, has led to a concentration of population in urban areas, which in turn has resulted in a rapid increase in waste generation. Existing management capacity is often inadequate to handle this ever-increasing volume of waste, leading to serious accumulation and environmental pollution. Islamic boarding schools, as Islamic educational institutions, have great potential for managing the environment based on a circular economy. This institution, with its values of independence and togetherness, has strong social capital to initiate and implement sustainable waste management practices integrated with circular economy principles, as demonstrated in several community-based programs.

Meningkatkan Kesadaran Toleransi dan Keberagaman Serta Mengembangkan Program Pembangunan Masyarakat Inklusif Melalui Sarasehan
The social, political, and religious dynamics in contemporary Indonesia are often marked by increasing identity polarization and a decline in respect for differences among citizens, thus emphasizing the urgency of raising awareness of tolerance and diversity as the main foundation for building an inclusive society. When linked to inclusive community development, tolerance and diversity become essential prerequisites for creating a social space that accommodates the active participation of all citizens. A seminar, as a participatory dialogue method, offers a safe and egalitarian space for various stakeholders to exchange views, discuss, and find common ground on sensitive issues related to religion and politics. The seminar has successfully served as a catalyst for change, shifting participants' thinking and behavior towards a more positive direction. Certainly, there needs to be follow-up in the form of concrete, implementable programs, such as further seminars, community formation, or collaborative initiatives driven by participants to translate that awareness into real action. The expected structural changes are the strengthening of tolerance and diversity awareness internalized in the norms and daily life practices of society, reflecting the sustainable actualization of good values.
