Graphic design skills are a crucial aspect in supporting da'wah activities and publications of social and religious organizations in the digital era. This community service program, aimed at empowering members of Ranting 'Aisyiyah Banguntapan 2, has fostered a strong sense of community and shared purpose through training in the use of the Canva application. Activities began with mapping partner needs, followed by training based on interactive lectures, video simulations, and hands-on practice. Evaluation was conducted through a pretest and a posttest to measure the improvement of participants' understanding. The results showed that only 31% of participants had used Canva prior to the training, while 94% were able to create posters independently after the training. A total of 69% of participants felt an increase in technical knowledge, and 31% experienced an increase in creativity. These findings show that the structured Canva training was effective in improving participants' digital literacy and design skills. This program not only makes a significant contribution to supporting the digital transformation of the women's community through a practical educational approach, but it also fosters a sense of community and shared purpose among the participants, making them feel more connected and engaged
