ng Sub-District, Ciamis Regency. The research method employed was qualitative with a descriptive approach, involving 12 informants including village officials and Karang Taruna administrators. The findings indicate that youth empowerment by Karang Taruna in Dewasari Village has been initiated but not yet optimal according to empowerment theory. Challenges identified include low youth interest in training, lack of awareness about the importance of organizations, and constraints in entrepreneurship and funding. Efforts to address these barriers involve more intensive approaches, enhanced socialization and networking, and knowledge enhancement through seminars, workshops, and training sessions. Additionally, providing financial support is crucial to enhance empowerment effectiveness. This study provides insights into real challenges faced in enhancing youth participation in community development. By implementing appropriate strategies, it is expected that youth empowerment through Karang Taruna will become more effective and significantly contribute to Dewasari village's progress.
Abstract:This research examines the role of youth in supporting e-government in the era of digital-based government 5.0, highlighting how the younger generation can be the main agent in the digital transformation of government. In…
n this context, youth not only act as users of technology, but also as developers of innovations that support the efficiency, transparency, and responsiveness of public services. Secondary data collected through document searches of literature, journal articles, government reports, and other official documents form the basis of this research analysis. The descriptive-analytical qualitative method is used to describe and criticise various aspects of the role of youth in e-government. Case studies such as "LAPOR!" and "Qlue," as well as hackathon initiatives, show how youth directly contribute to the development of digital solutions. In addition, their participation in e-participation platforms such as "Musrenbang Online" shows active engagement in technology-based decision-making processes. Youth also play a role in digital literacy campaigns, helping less tech-savvy communities to utilise e-government services. Involvement in advocacy and research further underlines the potential of youth as a source of innovative ideas and solutions. The results of this study confirm that the contribution of youth in supporting e-government is significant and covers various aspects, from technology development, participation in policy processes, to education and advocacy. Thus, youth are the main key in accelerating the digital transformation of government, ensuring that technology can be maximally utilised to improve the quality of public services and meet the needs of society in the digital era 5.0.

ety. The primary focus is analyzing the systemic design of education to promote contextual and inclusive religious values. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach, the study investigates how curriculum, pedagogy, and teacher roles can shape religious narratives supporting peace and humanity. The research reveals that rigid and doctrinal religious education potentially triggers radicalization, while dialogical and contextual approaches can effectively counter the spread of extremist ideologies. Key findings underscore the need for transforming religious education by emphasizing deep understanding of tolerance, conflict resolution, and diversity. The primary contribution of the research is a model of educational approach integrating progressive religious interpretations with universal humanitarian values. The study's implications include educational policy recommendations that can strengthen social capital and prevent radicalization among Indonesian youth.

ristian pastoral theology and pedagogy, faith formation serves as a strategic mechanism to cultivate integrative spiritual maturity, encompassing cognitive (doctrinal understanding), affective (spiritual affection), and conative (practical orientation) dimensions. This study analyzes the effectiveness of Bible Camp as an experiential learning-based faith formation model in the spiritual development of youth. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, the research explores the contribution of Bible Camp to the internalization of theological values, the construction of religious identity, and the strengthening of faith community cohesion. The findings indicate that Bible Camp activities—such as hermeneutic study, collective worship, existential reflection, and group dynamics—result in significant faith transformation on both personal and communal levels. This process aligns with Streib’s faith development theory and Mezirow’s transformative learning theory, which emphasize cognitive reconstruction through reflective experience within a social context. Bible Camp effectively mediates the transition from conventional faith to reflective and dialogical faith, while enhancing youth’s spiritual competencies in confronting the complexities of contemporary reality. The findings reinforce the assumption that faith formation in interactive non-formal settings is more effective than conventional instructional approaches in producing theological and ethical paradigm shifts. Therefore, Bible Camp is positioned as a relevant and contextual ecclesiological instrument in the recontextualization of Christian faith education. This model functions not only as a venue for individual spiritualization but also as a catalyst for the formation of resilient, participatory, and transformative Christian character within a pluralistic socio-religious ecosystem. Recommendations are directed towards institutionalizing Bible Camp as a systemic strategy for youth faith formation in the mission of the contemporary church.

form of extremism, has the potential to disturb interfaith harmony and create social tensions. Therefore, preventing the spread of this ideology is crucial, one of which can be achieved through the involvement of Christian youth in utilizing social media. Social media has become a highly effective platform for spreading various types of information, both positive and harmful. As such, Christian youth play a very important role in addressing this threat. This research aims to examine the contribution of Christian youth in preventing the spread of religious radicalism ideology through social media. The approach used is qualitative with a literature study, where data is obtained from various relevant scholarly sources. The results of the study show that Christian youth can use social media as a tool to spread messages of peace, tolerance, and inclusivity. This is important in fostering harmony amidst religious diversity in Indonesia. Christian youth can play an active role by correcting the misconceptions often propagated by radical groups. By spreading positive and constructive messages, Christian youth can help society become more discerning in filtering information, thus reducing the potential spread of hatred. Through their involvement on social media, Christian youth have significant potential in strengthening interfaith harmony and creating a more peaceful and harmonious social environment.

literacy stands at 49.68%, while specific understanding of taxation among young people is reported to be lower than that of the productive-age population. In addition, tax return compliance among individuals under 25 years old remains limited, reflecting weak early tax awareness and tax morale. In Magelang, high school students as future taxpayers generally lack access to contextual and practice-oriented tax education. This community engagement program aims to enhance tax literacy, awareness, and basic understanding of taxation among senior and vocational high school students through a structured and participatory educational approach. The methods included interactive lectures, contextual discussions, daily tax case studies, and simple tax calculation simulations, supported by pre- and post-tests to measure learning outcomes. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in students’ tax literacy scores and attitudes toward future compliance. The program also produced a tax literacy module and initiated student tax awareness groups in partner schools. Early tax education is therefore effective in strengthening youth tax morale and supporting sustainable national development.

Abstrak: Literasi pajak di kalangan generasi muda Indonesia masih tergolong rendah dan belum menjadi bagian utama dalam pembelajaran formal di tingkat SMA/SMK. Data nasional menunjukkan tingkat literasi keuangan sebesar 49,68%, sementara pemahaman spesifik mengenai perpajakan pada kelompok usia muda lebih rendah dibandingkan kelompok usia produktif. Selain itu, tingkat kepatuhan pelaporan SPT pada wajib pajak berusia di bawah 25 tahun masih terbatas, yang mencerminkan lemahnya kesadaran dan moral pajak sejak dini. Di wilayah Magelang, siswa SMA/SMK sebagai calon wajib pajak masa depan umumnya belum memperoleh edukasi pajak yang kontekstual dan berbasis praktik. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan literasi, kesadaran, dan pemahaman dasar perpajakan melalui pendekatan edukasi yang terstruktur dan partisipatif. Metode yang digunakan meliputi ceramah interaktif, diskusi kontekstual, studi kasus perpajakan sehari-hari, serta simulasi perhitungan pajak sederhana yang didukung pre-test dan post-test. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan skor literasi pajak dan sikap kepatuhan siswa. Program ini juga menghasilkan modul literasi pajak dan pembentukan kelompok siswa sadar pajak di sekolah mitra.
