Program Pemberdayaan Pemuda Dalam Meminimalisir Pengaruh Pinjol Dan Judol Di Desa Bebas Karangtengah Kecamatan Ngawen Kabupaten Blora

Abstract

The Empowered Village Community Service Program (KKN) in Karangtengah Village focused on prevention and education efforts regarding the dangers of illegal online loans (pinjol) and online gambling (judol), which are increasingly prevalent among the community, particularly village youth. This phenomenon has negative impacts in the form of economic burdens, social conflict, and moral degradation among the younger generation. Through outreach programs, digital literacy workshops, and interactive discussions with youth and village officials, this KKN program aims to foster critical awareness and equip the community with the knowledge and skills to use digital technology more wisely. Results from the program indicate an increased public understanding of the risks of pinjol and judol, marked by active youth participation and a collective commitment to creating a Karangtengah Village free from the trap of these practices. This program is expected to serve as a model for empowering village youth through educational, preventive, and collaborative approaches to building a healthy, independent, and empowered social environment.
