Plastic waste is one of the most pressing environmental issues in Indonesia. Plastic is included in the category of non-organic waste that is very difficult to decompose, because it is made of non-renewable chemicals. In the campus environment, the high volume of plastic waste is getting worse because many food vendors still use plastic as packaging, and accompanied by a low level of student understanding of organic and non-organic waste sorting techniques. The increasing amount of plastic waste will certainly have a negative impact on the environment. One approach that can be applied to reduce plastic waste in the environment is through the 3R concept (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). One form of the 3R concept is Ecobrick. The purpose of this Ecobrick training is as a creative solution for managing plastic waste in the Merangin University campus environment. This community service activity involved students of the Biology Study Program, Faculty of Science and Technology and students of the Biology Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Merangin University. The method used is a participatory approach consisting of 3 stages: preparation, implementation (socialization and counseling) and the final stage. The results obtained are that this Ecobrick-making training has a direct positive impact on the campus environment, increasing students' knowledge in managing inorganic waste with Ecobricks and forming students' habits of disposing of waste in the correct place and caring for the environment. Furthermore, through training and direct practice of Ecobrick-making not only enhances students' creativity. Students' active involvement in processing plastic waste into useful products such as chairs, tables, shelves and flower pots thus raises awareness that plastic waste can be processed into something of high value.

Cybersecurity is a crucial issue in the digital era, especially for communities actively using social media platforms such as Facebook.

The results of the activity show an increase in participants' knowledge and vigilance towards cybersecurity risks, as well as their ability to identify and avoid fraud schemes on social media. This initiative is expected to foster a better digital literacy culture within the Bukit Subur Village community.

Access to quality education is a fundamental right of every citizen and is guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia. To realize education that is both character-driven and aligned with local cultural values, structured regulations and appropriate policies are required to ensure alignment with established educational frameworks. This community service activity aims to explore and strengthen the collaboration between local government and higher education institutions in formulating strategies to sustainably improve the quality of human resources (HR). A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, gathering insights and perspectives from key stakeholders directly involved in the education sector. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, involving representatives from local government, education practitioners, academics, members of the Islamic Students Association (HMI) Bangko Branch, students from Universitas Merangin and IAI Syeh Maulana Qory, as well as independent local journalists. The involvement of various sectors was intended to enrich the discourse and produce applicable solutions to existing educational challenges. The findings highlight the need for synergy among all stakeholders to establish an inclusive, adaptive, and competitive education system. Through this collaborative approach, it is expected that the development of superior, creative, and globally competitive human resources can be achieved. This activity emphasizes the importance of transforming the education system by strengthening the collective role of all parties involved in order to respond effectively to the demands of globalization and societal change.

Professional village governance demands a comprehensive understanding from village officials of the regulations that govern their duties and functions. However, the reality on the ground shows a significant knowledge gap. This community service program aims to enhance the legal literacy and capacity of the officials of Tanjung Mudo Village, Jangkat Timur District, through advocacy on personnel regulations. The program was conducted on March 3-4, 2025, using a participatory method that combined interactive lectures, case studies, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). To measure the program's impact, pre-test and post-test instruments were utilized. The initial assessment results showed an average participant score of only 48 out of 100, indicating a low level of understanding regarding their rights, obligations, and personnel procedures. Following the advocacy program, there was a very significant increase in understanding, with the average post-test score jumping to 85 out of 100. This improvement proves that the applied advocacy method was effective in bridging the knowledge gap, thereby empowering village officials to work more professionally, accountably, and in accordance with the prevailing legal framework.
