This research used a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Results show that the muhadhoroh program successfully creates a supportive learning environment that helps students gradually improve their communication skills. Additionally, support from teachers as facilitators plays an important role in the program's success, providing guidance and regular evaluations to help students prepare content and deliver messages effectively. The program also helps develop students' character through topics like moral values, leadership, and social responsibility. This allows students not only to become confident speakers but also to build integrity. The program positively impacts both speakers and the audience, who also benefit by learning from the talks. Overall, muhadhoroh serves as an effective and relevant public speaking model that other schools could use to help students grow into confident individuals with strong communication skills, ready to contribute in social and professional settings.
