However, modernization and globalization have led to a decline in youth participation in religious activities. This study aims to examine the role of Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP) community service program (KKN) students in preserving religious traditions in Jorong Taratak Baru. The research employs a qualitative approach through field observations and participation in community activities. The findings reveal that KKN UNP students play a crucial role in enhancing community engagement in religious traditions through various activities such as teaching Quran recitation, communal work at places of worship, and organizing Isra’ Mi’raj celebrations. The active participation of students not only strengthens social bonds among residents but also serves as a medium for transmitting religious values to younger generations. Therefore, the KKN program has significant potential in sustaining religious traditions amidst ongoing social changes</em></p> Halkadri Fitra Shafira Callista Nabilah Puspita Gustina Dilla Zasabila Maf Ulal Zilfarid Ferdiansya Ferdiansya Copyright (c) 2025 Manaruko: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 4 1 77 81 10.24036/manaruko.v4i1.47 Peran mahasiswa KKN UNP dalam Kesenian Randai di Koto Lipek Pageh https://jmpe.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/manaruko/article/view/48 <p><em>Randai art is one of the arts in West Sumatra.

This community service aims to improve teacher skills in developing digital assessments and improve the quality of learning at TK Latihan SPG Aisyiyah. This community service has improved teachers' ability to produce digital assessments. This can be seen from the increase in teacher understanding in the post-test, with an average score of 89 and an increase in the pre-test score of 83.25. In addition, 100% of kindergarten teachers who participated in the training also produced digital assessments afterwards. The satisfaction questionnaire results showed that participants were delighted with implementing community service activities, with an average satisfaction level of 94%. Participants hope that similar training can be carried out again further to improve the competence of early childhood education teachers.</p> Rani Sofya Nenny Mahyuddin Enceria Damanik Yessy Aprihatin Copyright (c) 2025 Manaruko: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 4 1 98 105 10.24036/manaruko.v4i1.51 Boosting Local Brand Value: Pelatihan Visual Branding dan Digital Marketing pada UMKM Ceta Bacorak https://jmpe.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/manaruko/article/view/52 <p><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Transformasi digital menjadi kebutuhan mendesak bagi Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) untuk bertahan dan berkembang di era digital.
