Abstract

This article contains the results of community service carried out by postgraduate lecturers at the PTIQ Jakarta Institute. The implementation of the activity was motivated by the common understanding of teachers on child-friendly school programs in developing students' character, which became a national issue. Implementing the service is expected to improve the competence of teachers in Tanggamus Regency, Lampung Province, especially in realizing child-friendly schools. The implementation method used is training with demonstration. The use of the method is considered following the target and assisted object. The training participants consisted of teachers in Tanggamus Regency, Lampung Province, totaling 75 people, and it was held on Wednesday, September 15, 2021. The implementation of this activity showed that teachers in Tanggamus Regency did not comprehensively understand child-friendly schools in students' character development. After the activity, it was found that all teachers understood conceptually child-friendly schools, and teachers understood the urgency of realizing child-friendly schools.
