The community service program initiated by Universitas Terbuka aims to raise awareness of the importance of education and reduce the dropout rate in Serang City, Banten Province. In this area, the dropout rate, especially at the Elementary School (SD) and Junior High School (SMP) levels, continues to increase. The main factors contributing to this phenomenon include poverty, bullying, and lack of support from family and school. The program consists of three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The preparation stage involves literature studies and needs assessments in six sub-districts, while the implementation stage is carried out through counseling and training with a participatory approach involving parents and resource persons. Evaluation is carried out through interviews to understand changes in participants' attitudes and views on education. The results of the program show an increase in community understanding of the importance of education for the future and the steps that can be taken so that children can return to school. In addition, the program emphasizes the importance of cooperation between the government, schools, and the community in creating an environment that supports education. This article discusses the implementation of the program, the results achieved, and its impact on increasing access to education in areas prone to dropouts.
