Abstract: Rukun Warga (RW) 14 Bumi Harapan is a part of the area in Cibiru Hilir District which is close to the Gede Bage main market as a zone prone to the spread of COVID-19., RW 14 is in the BB Bumi Harapan block that is at risk of experiencing COVID-19 transmission from other blocks where there have been confirmed cases of COVID-19. The Bandung District Health Office previously sent a task force team to handle COVID-19 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the departure of the task force team did not leave the understanding and skills of the local community in dealing with the findings of the COVID-19 case while the COVID-19 pandemic is still continuing to this day. The limited knowledge and skills of the community related to COVID-19 caused panic in the local community. Therefore, training for COVID-19 volunteers at the RW is deemed necessary as a step to increase knowledge and skills in responding to the findings of the COVID-19 case so that the public is prepared to be alert when a COVID-19 case is found. This activity involves RW units, community leaders, cadres, and local communities who voluntarily prepare to face COVID-19. The training was held for 3 hours using lectures, demonstrations, and discussion / question and answer methods; formation and training of COVID-19 response volunteers; evaluating and monitoring the implementation of the COVID-19 prevention health protocol and the role of volunteer teams in the community. Powerpoint media, videos, and training modules are used to make it easier for targets to receive the information provided. Evaluation is carried out immediately after training and 1 month after training to determine the success of the training and to monitor the continuity of the program after the training has been completed. The result of this activity was the implementation of the training which was attended by 16 participants well. All participants can participate in the event until it ends in a conducive way.
