The problem of stunting in Indonesia is a serious threat that requires appropriate handling. Basic Health Research data in 2018 shows that stunting cases in Indonesia are still relatively high, reaching 30.8%. Behavior change is one of the pillars of efforts to deal with malnutrition and stunting. Adolescent reproductive health is defined as a healthy condition in the system, function, and process of adolescent reproduction physically, mentally, and socio-culturally. The Community Service activities that will be carried out are a Community Partnership Program scheme focusing on service in the health sector which focuses on adolescent reproductive health. The targets of this activity are teachers and students of 1st State Senior High School, Gunungsari, Lombok, West of Nusa Tenggara. This Community Service aims to increase knowledge and implementation regarding strengthening character and leadership spirit and using technology wisely, increasing knowledge and skills about motor activities through the socialization of sports movements, anthropometric measurements related to adolescent reproductive readiness, and breast self-examination. The methods used are seminars, focus group discussions, and training.
