This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to enhance youth awareness and empowerment in preventing stunting, child marriage, and promoting reproductive health education in East Lombok Regency. The program was implemented by the East Lombok GenRe Forum under the supervision of the Office of Women Empowerment, Child Protection, and Family Planning (DP3AKB) and the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) from 2022 to 2024. A combination of methods was applied, including socialization, workshops, mentoring, the development of Youth Information and Counseling Centers (PIK-R), and mass campaigns involving adolescents across multiple districts. The initiative reached over 25,000 adolescents through the “INI GENTING” (Implementasi Nyata Cegah Stunting – Real Implementation to Prevent Stunting) program and resulted in the formation of 504 Village GenRe Ambassadors as local change agents. According to data from DP3AKB and RRI East Lombok, child marriage cases decreased by nearly 50% during the program period, indicating significant behavioral and awareness shifts among the youth. Furthermore, this initiative strengthened adolescents’ reproductive health literacy, increased understanding of balanced nutrition, and built collective awareness of their role in preventing stunting. The program’s success stems from strong collaboration among the GenRe Forum, local government, educational institutions, and community networks. Thus, this initiative serves not only as an educational platform but also as a sustainable model of community-based youth empowerment that can be replicated at regional and national levels.
