Abstract

Kombucha remains relatively unfamiliar to some groups, especially adolescents in formal education. To address this, a community service program, one of the pillars of Tri Dharma of Higher Education in Indonesia, was implemented as a transformative initiative linking academic knowledge with community needs. The program, held at MAN 3 Pontianak on May 8, 2025, involved 32 students and aimed to enhance knowledge and attitudes toward functional drinks, particularly aloe vera–based kombucha. This community service program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, incorporating educational sessions, demonstrations, and hands-on training. Pre- and post-tests showed participants' knowledge and attitudes improved after the program. The results showed a significant increase: students with high knowledge rose from 68.7% in the pre-test to 100% in the post-test. Overall, structured education integrated with direct practice effectively improved understanding and promoted positive health.
