Posyandu is currently undergoing health-system transformation through the integration of primary care services targeting all stages of the human life cycle, with Posyandu cadres playing a key role in service delivery. Cadre regeneration remains necessary; however, some newly recruited Posyandu cadres have not previously received information or training on Posyandu management. This community service activity was conducted as a training program for newly recruited Posyandu cadres to improve their skills. The participants were 42 newly recruited Posyandu cadres from Kepanjen Kidul Subdistrict, Kepanjen Kidul District, Blitar City. The training was conducted over two days, 22–23 July 2026, by healthcare professionals from Kepanjen Kidul Community Health Center and community service team members from Poltekkes Kemenkes Malang. The classroom-based training included Posyandu management, simulation of effective communication using the SAJI model, and simulation of Posyandu services using the five-step procedure. The results indicated that the cadres had good perceptions and knowledge of Posyandu management and were able to simulate the five-step Posyandu service procedure. The training improved cadres’ knowledge, self-confidence, effective communication skills, and ability to provide Posyandu services. Therefore, training for Posyandu cadres should be conducted regularly.
