Kontribusi Organisasi Himukta terhadap Masyarakat sebagai Bentuk Kepedulian Sosial

Abstrak

The Sriwijaya University Student Association of Tanjung Batu District (Himukta) is a student leadership organisation located in Tanjung Batu District, Ogan Ilir Regency. This organisation has many programmes in the fields of religion, community service, education, sports, arts, and others. The programmes carried out can be internal or external; internal programmes are those run through the contributions of organisation members and for the members of Himukta only, while external programmes are those carried out through the contributions of Himukta members for the community or outsiders who are not members of Himukta. This research aims to determine the contribution of the Himukta organisation to the community as a form of social concern through the implemented work programmes. This study uses a qualitative approach, with three primary informants and one supporting informant obtained through purposive sampling techniques. The data analysis techniques used are data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The contributions of the Himukta organisation to the community are indeed effective, as seen in their fundraising programmes for people affected by disasters like fires. This is evident from the contributions of Himukta members in terms of effort, ideas, time, and money to help others. A positive impact of joining an organisation is that it provides a place to socialise, hone leadership skills, and learn new things.
