Abstract
Peran pemuda sangat penting sebagai agen perubahan dalam pengembangan masyarakat. Karang Taruna yang tumbuh di desa/kelurahan, merupakan wahana bagi pemuda untuk memperlihatkan berbagai peran mereka.  Karang Taruna hadir dalam upaya memenuhi harapan masyarakat untuk menanggulangi permasalahan sosial, khususnya permasalahan yang terjadi pada pemuda. Karena peran strategisnya itu, maka Kementerian Sosial RI menempatkan Karang Taruna sebagai salah satu pilar sosial dalam penyelenggaraan kesejahteraan sosial. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mendeskripsikan peran Karang Taruna Sukajadi sebagai agen perubahan dalam pengembangan masyarakat. Data dan informasi dikumpulkan melalui studi dokmentasi dan wawancara dengan pengurus Karang Taruna, tokoh masyarakat, aparat desa, instansi pemerintah dan penerima layanan. Hasi menelitian, bahwa Karang Taruna Sukajadi telah melaksanakan berbagai peran sebagai agen perubahan dalam pengembangan masyarakat, dengan melaksanakan kegiatan di bidang sosial, seperti: bantuan pendidikan anak yatim, bantuan kebutuhan pokok bagi orang miskin, dan perbaikan rumah bagi keluarga miskin, pencegahan penyalahgunaan narkoba dan pembinaan preman jalanan, pelestarian budaya melalui peletarian kesenian lokal. Kemudian di bidang ekonomi, bekerja sama dengan sebuah cafe untuk pemasaran kopi bakar. Meskipun demikian, berbagai peran tersebut masih perlu dioptimalkan melalui peningkatan kapasitas anggota Karang Taruna.
