Environmental issues are certainly a crucial issue to be faced, which can be caused by low ecological literacy and limited use of digital technology. Therefore, a conservation movement is needed through the empowerment of community groups, such as residents of the Aljauharen Islamic Boarding School. This community service activity was carried out at the Al-Jauharen Islamic Boarding School using the method of delivering material, discussion, interpretation, and training in the use of digital applications to develop environmental education content based on community-based conservation. The implementation results showed an increase in participants' abilities in digital literacy and environmental understanding, marked by an increase in the average score from 58.3 to 84.7, as well as the emergence of conservation practices such as tree planting, waste management, and utilization of organic waste. The integration of digital technology with Islamic values ​​​​has proven effective in strengthening ecological awareness and community participation, while supporting the implementation of MBKM and offering an empowerment model that has the potential to be replicated in other religious educational institutions.
