Stunting remains a public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas such as Wonosegoro Village, Wonosegoro District, Boyolali Regency. The lack of knowledge of Posyandu cadres regarding stunting prevention is a major obstacle to the implementation of the promotive and preventive Posyandu program. Community service activities through the Student Community Service Program (KKN) Group 07 of Boyolali University aimed to empower Posyandu cadres through targeted and participatory stunting prevention outreach activities. This research used a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design to evaluate the implementation process, changes in knowledge, and the forms of empowerment that occurred. The results showed that Posyandu cadres actively participated in interactive outreach activities. Pre- and post-activity evaluations showed an increase in cadres' understanding of the concept of stunting, including its causes, long-term impacts, and family-based prevention strategies. In addition to increasing knowledge, these activities also fostered cadres' commitment to being more active in Posyandu activities and providing nutrition education to the community. Cadre empowerment was reflected in changes in attitudes, increased self-confidence, and their readiness to become information agents at the village level. These results align with community empowerment theory and support previous findings emphasizing the importance of community-based training in stunting prevention. This outreach program significantly contributed to strengthening the capacity of community cadres and could serve as a model for sustainable empowerment in other regions. Cross-sectoral support is needed to ensure the sustainability of comprehensive stunting reduction efforts.
