Abstract

Dropping out of school is not a choice anyone wants, and taking advantage of the opportunity to resume interrupted education is not easy, it requires strength and resilience to go through it. This community service aims to strengthen psychological resilience among Paket C students at Sekolah Janji Baik, a non-formal education institution serving youth from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The program addresses the need for adaptive coping in the face of life challenges, particularly among marginalized learners. The intervention was conducted through a psychoeducational training consisting of motivational narratives, identification of resilience factors (I am, I have, I can), and reflective discussions. The participants (n = 18) completed the intervention and pre- and post-tests using a resilience scale. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests and correlation analysis. Results indicated a statistically significant increase in mean resilience scores (t = -2.439, p = 0.026), with 61.1% of students showing individual score improvement. The program proved effective in enhancing resilience, confirming the relevance of psychoeducational strategies in empowering at-risk youth in non-formal education settings.
