Indonesian diaspora children living abroad face challenges in maintaining their national identity due to limited access to information about Indonesia and insufficient internalization of cultural and national values. This condition has become a significant concern for the Indonesian School of Kuala Lumpur (Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur/SIKL) and the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Kuala Lumpur (KBRI Kuala Lumpur) as community service partners. This community service program aimed to enhance the participants' knowledge and understanding of nationalism through an intensive learning assistance program. The implementation method consisted of preliminary observation, needs assessment, pre-test administration, intensive learning assistance, and post-test evaluation. The program involved seven Indonesian diaspora children residing in Malaysia. The evaluation results demonstrated an overall improvement in participants' knowledge of nationalism. The average pre-test score increased from 74.29 to 80.00 in the post-test. Five participants showed improved scores, one participant maintained the same score, and two participants experienced a slight decrease, indicating the need for further individualized assistance. Overall, the program received positive responses from both participants and partner institutions, as it successfully strengthened participants' understanding of national identity, civic awareness, and love for their homeland. Therefore, intensive learning assistance can serve as an effective strategy for fostering nationalism and strengthening national identity among Indonesian diaspora children living abroad.
