relationships, particularly in orphanages, where children are expected to live together, support one another, and share responsibilities. This community service program aimed to introduce and strengthen the values of togetherness, group cooperation, and leadership among foster children through the integration of Huma Betang cultural philosophy, collaborative games, and student leadership simulations. The program was conducted at Budi Sejahtera Orphanage in Kuala Kapuas, involving 31 foster children and 2 orphanage administrators. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach consisting of four stages: needs mapping, activity planning, action implementation, and reflection and evaluation. The activities were carried out through three sessions covering needs assessment, collaborative games, and leadership simulations. The results indicated that the program was successfully implemented and received positive participation from the foster children. Participants demonstrated enthusiasm and engagement in group activities that provided direct learning experiences related to togetherness, communication, cooperation, and shared responsibility. However, the program did not yet include sustained character-building activities, the establishment of an Orphanage Character Ambassador program, or measurements of behavioral changes before and after the intervention.
