Abstrak
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem in Indonesia and requires cross-sectoral involvement, including the role of young people, to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 3. This study aims to analyze the role of young people through the Bakrie Center Foundation's internship program called the Campus Leaders Program (CLP) and to identify program innovations in CLP batch 10 in the effort to eliminate TB. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on Talcott Parsons' structural functionalism theory through the AGIL scheme, as well as data collection methods in the form of in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and literature studies analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that the BCF internship program contributes significantly to improving public health literacy, reducing stigma against TB patients, and strengthening networks between communities, social institutions, and health workers. TB Rangers play an effective role as agents of education, patient companions, and drivers of community-based and digital media health campaigns. Additionally, innovations in CLP batch 10 included the integration of economic empowerment, program prototype design, and the production of scientific proceedings to expand the program's impact from health aspects to socio-economic aspects. This research implies the importance of strengthening youth-based internship programs as a sustainable strategy in supporting TB elimination at the community level.
