Kesadaran dan literasi politik pemuda di era digital menghadapi tantangan serius akibat maraknya hoaks dan disinformasi melalui media sosial serta rendahnya literasi digital masyarakat. Kondisi ini menuntut adanya upaya strategis untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan literasi politik generasi muda sebagai wujud bela negara. Program pengabdian ini bertujuan mengkaji dampak pelatihan POLARIS (Political Awareness and Literacy) berbasis teknologi dalam memperkuat pemahaman politik pemuda di Kabupaten Subang. Metode yang digunakan adalah Participation Action Research (PAR) melalui tahapan pelatihan, diskusi, dan refleksi partisipatif. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman peserta mengenai pentingnya kesadaran politik di era digital serta peserta memiliki kemampuan mengidentifikasi literasi politik yang relevan bagi pemuda saat ini. Kegiatan ini disimpulkan mampu menumbuhkan kesadaran politik dan literasi digital pemuda secara signifikan. Implikasi program ini adalah perlunya program pengembangan yang berkelanjutan di sekolah, masyarakat, dan organisasi kepemudaan untuk membangun generasi yang memiliki kesadaran dan literasi politik di era digital sebagai wujud bela negara.
