Bagan Deli is a kelurahan. The livelihoods of its citizens are mostly fishermen, laborers and some are unemployed. Based on the observations of the Community Service team and discussions with the Village Head and Chair of the Bagan Deli Youth Organization, it is planned that Community Service activities will be carried out by forming a Pokdarwis for youth organizations and creating a website as a promotion to introduce tourism potential and youth activities in the Bagan Deli area. The formation of Pokdarwis will provide skills and opportunities to earn income for Pokdarwis members and then the community. The availability of the website will be a forum for promoting tourism potential in the Bagan Deli area. So far, youth organizations in Bagan Deli have not provided much benefit, especially from an economic standpoint. The formation of the Pokdarwis will improve regional development and provide benefits for the welfare of the surrounding community.
