Abstract. Social media has evolved into one of the most effective platforms for communication, marketing, and business transactions. Generation Z, as digital natives, holds significant potential in leveraging social media as a business platform. However, various challenges remain, ranging from low levels of digital literacy to limited understanding of social media algorithms. This community engagement program was conducted at SMP Insan Cendekia Mandiri Boarding School, Sidoarjo, with the aim of enhancing students’ understanding of digital entrepreneurship, introducing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for promotion, and training them in creating marketable digital content. The implementation method consisted of four stages: initiation, preparation, execution in the form of socialization and training, and evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. The results indicated an improvement in students’ comprehension of digital entrepreneurship concepts, their ability to utilize social media productively, and their creativity in content creation. The average pre-test score of 95.14 increased to 96.00 in the post-test, reflecting strengthened conceptual understanding and practical skills. This article underscores the importance of educational strategies and the sustainability of training programs to ensure that young generations can optimize social media as a business tool.
