Community Service Program (KKN) is a form of student community service by directly applying scientific knowledge in the field. The 2025 Unimed KKN was conducted in Durin Simbelang Village, Pancur Batu District, Deli Serdang Regency, with the aim of empowering local potential and improving the quality of education, social, and environmental aspects of the village. This research used a qualitative descriptive approach with participatory methods, in which students actively engaged with the community in each program. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and direct participation, then analyzed descriptively through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion. Research findings indicate that the Community Service Program (KKN) has had a significant impact in various aspects. In the economic sector, the downstreaming and marketing of processed starfruit products has successfully improved residents' skills in processing harvested produce into value-added products. In the educational sector, activities such as "Ceria Calistung Ceria," "Si Cerdik Math," "English Fun Club," "Savings for Small Change," "Education for the Creative Economy," and "Wisdom Digital Literacy" have proven effective in improving academic skills, creativity, and positive character traits among the younger generation. In the social and environmental aspects, the "gotong royong" (mutual cooperation) program, rhythmic gymnastics, educational trash signage, volleyball court construction, gate decoration, and 17th August competitions have strengthened social cohesion, raised awareness of healthy living, and increased concern for environmental cleanliness.
