This community service activity aims to foster environmental awareness and creativity among elementary school students through the utilization of food waste into handicrafts. The approach used in this program is Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), which emphasizes the development of local potential and assets. The activity was conducted at SDN Klampokan, Klampokan Village, targeting students in grades 3, 4, 5, and 6. The stages of the program included inculturation, discovery, dream, design, and destiny. During the inculturation stage, an introduction and adaptation process with the community and school stakeholders was carried out. The discovery stage aimed to identify existing potentials and problems, particularly related to students’ low awareness of environmental cleanliness. Furthermore, in the dream stage, a shared vision was formulated to create a clean and creative school environment through handicraft activities using food waste. The design stage involved program planning and socialization, while the destiny stage was the implementation of the handicraft-making activities. The results showed an improvement in students’ awareness of maintaining environmental cleanliness, increased creativity, and the development of discipline and responsibility. Therefore, this community service program is proven to be effective in building sustainable environmental awareness and creativity among elementary school students from an early age.
