COMMUNITY SERVICE

COMMUNITY SERVICE


UPN Veteran Yogyakarta implements  new paradigm in community service activities that are problem-solving, comprehensive, meaningful, complete, and sustainable, with multiple target service.


These are the reasons for the development of the Community Service Program (PbM).

The target audiences of the Community service program (PbM) program are:


1) Economically productive communities

2) Communities that are not yet economically productive but have a strong desire to become entrepreneurs

3) Economically unproductive communities (public in general).

"
"Community Service targets (partners) among economically productive communities includes : arts groups, fishing groups, farming groups, and livestock groups, with each member demonstrating an economically productive character. 


Targeted partners in household industries (home industries) with individual/sole ownership are required to have at least 4 employees outside of family members 

"
"Targeted partners in economically productive fields must be groups with at least 5 members, such as neighborhood women’s groups (dasawisma), tourism awareness groups (pokdarwis), PKK community, religious group, housewives’ groups, and others.


Targeted partners among economically unproductive communities may include schools (Kindergarten, elementary, junior high, high/vocational schools), youth organizations (karang taruna), housewives’ groups, children groups, neighborhood associations (RT/RW), villages/sub-districts, health centers (Puskesmas/Posyandu), Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), and others


Issues that must be addressed in the Community Service Program (PbM), especially for economically productive communities or potential entrepreneurs, include production, business management, and marketing. For activities not directly related to economic matters, they must clearly specify the issues prioritized to solve, such as improving pubic services, enhancing community welfare, repairing/supporting service facilities, and others.


Activities carried out for Community Service partners, whether economically productive, economically potential , or non-productive / social activity, must include two activity fields that require different areas of expertise.
