Abstract This community service program aimed to enhance young people’s understanding and participation in developing the tourism and creative economy potential of Tanah Kuning Village, Bulungan Regency, as a tourism village and industrial village. The program was implemented using a service-learning design through a mentoring approach involving students of SMAN 1 and SMKN 1 Tanjung Palas Timur. The activity was conducted on November 26, 2025, in the partner schools’ hall through two main sessions, namely the socialization of village tourism potential and the socialization of creative economy potential. The implementation methods included material presentation, participatory discussion, identification of local potential, and guided exercises in designing product and creative service ideas based on local resources. The results showed that participants were able to identify the main potential of Tanah Kuning Village, including beaches, sunset spots, mangrove areas, local culinary products, and local stories as fundamental assets for tourism village development. In the creative economy aspect, participants successfully formulated several business ideas, such as fish amplang products, souvenirs based on beaded weaving and batik fabric, as well as creative content services for promoting destinations and local micro, small, and medium enterprises. The program also demonstrated active partner participation, as reflected in the attendance of 89 participants, intensive engagement in discussions, and the emergence of 17 development ideas. The main impacts of the activity were the improvement of participants’ knowledge, the growth of awareness regarding students’ roles in local development, and the emergence of follow-up initiatives such as the establishment of a student group concerned with tourism and creative economy, destination content production, and plans for collaboration between schools and the village. Therefore, this mentoring activity proved effective as an initial step in fostering the capacity, awareness, and creativity of young people to support the development of Tanah Kuning Village as a tourism and industrial village based on local potential.
