Abstract: This study aims to analyze the role of facilitators of the Youth Awareness and Pioneering Development Program (PKKP) in increasing the economic independence of youth organizations in Grobogan Regency. The main focus of the research includes strengthening entrepreneurial skills, increasing active participation, and instilling a responsible attitude in the management of community-based economic activities. The method used in this study is qualitative with a case study approach, which involves five informants from the facilitators and members of the Youth Organization. The results of the study show that PKKP facilitators play a strategic role in providing technical assistance, business skills training, and encouraging youth participation and social responsibility in running business units. This role has been proven to encourage the birth of local business initiatives such as fish farming and traditional food processing based on village potential. These findings confirm the importance of the existence of trained and responsive facilitators as the key to the success of the empowerment program. This study recommends strengthening the capacity of facilitators and integrating cross-sectoral programs to encourage youth economic sustainability in villages.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran fasilitator Program Pengembangan Kepedulian dan Kepeloporan (PKKP) Pemuda dalam meningkatkan kemandirian ekonomi pemuda Karang Taruna di Kabupaten Grobogan.
