Abstract

The CLEAN community service program aims to provide alternative holiday activities for elementary school-aged children by integrating literacy and life skills through crafts based on used goods. This activity contributes to reducing children's dependence on gadgets, fostering creativity, and increasing environmental awareness. The implementation method uses a participatory approach with four participants from different grade levels, through the stages of planning, implementation, and evaluation. The activity schedule lasts for four days, with crafts and literacy sessions every day from 10:00–12:00. Children are invited to make goodie bags, piggy banks, pencil cases, and bookmarks, then write about their experiences in simple journals. The results showed that all participants successfully created works, wrote reflections, and felt happy. This program can be a model of educational recreation that supports literacy, life skills, and environmental awareness from an early age.
