his community service program focuses on improving adolescent health literacy in Jambewangi Village, Magelang Regency.

The goal of the program is to improve health understanding through a digital and participatory literacy approach. Methods used include socialization, wellness media creation assistance, and design training with Canva. The results showed a significant increase in the value of participants' knowledge by 4.41 points and the creation of various health promotion media made by adolescents. This program has succeeded in empowering adolescents as agents of health change in their communities.
