Abstract: Public speaking skills are crucial 21st-century competencies that have not been well-accommodated in the formal school curriculum. This community service activity aims to increase self-confidence and basic public speaking skills of students at SD Muhammadiyah 12 Pamulang, who were identified as having constraints in the courage to appear and speech structure arrangement. The implementation method includes experiential learning-based training covering vocal techniques, body language, and speech structure, ending with direct practice (mini showcase). The activity partners were as much as 31 students divided into 10 practice groups. Evaluation was carried out through performance observation during the showcase. The results showed a significant increase in student courage, where all groups were able to perform in front of the class. The benefits felt included increased self-confidence, solid teamwork, and the ability to compile simple ideas into coherent stories. Student enthusiasm was very high both as speakers and audiences.
