ABSTRAK
Permasalahan yang kami temukan di Desa Sembung yakni terdapat 29% perkawinan remaja. rata-rata pengetahuan remaja tentang dampak perkawinan muda masih sangat kurang, pelaksanaan perkawinan remaja masih didukung oleh budaya setempat, dan sebagian besar remaja yang telah melakukan perkawinan muda mengalami putus sekolah. Oleh sebab itu, kami membentuk peer educator tiap dusun untuk memudahkan remaja mengakses informasi terkait pendewasaan usia perkawinan. Hasil kegiatan ini sangat berdampak positif baik bagi remaja khususnya maupun orangtua dan masyarakat, terbukti 90% terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan dan sikap terhadap pendewasan usia perkawinan, sedangkan hasil uji lapangan sebesar 80% remaja mampu menjadi konselor sebaya (peer educator).

ABSTRACT
The problem we found in Sembung Village is that there are 29% of teenage marriages. The collective knowledge of adolescents about the impact of young unions is still lacking, the implementation of underage marriages supported by local culture, and the majority of adolescents who have committed young marriages experience dropouts. Therefore, we formed peer educators in each hamlet to facilitate youth accessing information related to the age of marriage. The results of this activity are very favorable for both adolescents in particular as well as parents and the community, as evidenced by 90% increase in knowledge and attitudes towards the demise of marriage age, while field test results by 80% of adolescents can become peer educators.
