Background: Stunting is a condition where a child is shorter than average for their age due to chronic malnutrition starting from the womb through early childhood. The formation of *posyandu* (integrated health post) cadres is an effective strategy to support exclusive breastfeeding and prevent stunting. This study aims to enhance the knowledge, skills, and roles of cadres in reducing stunting rates in Pesanggrahan Village. Method: This community service activity used the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method, with pre-tests and post-tests conducted to measure participants’ improvement before and after the training. Results: After participating in both theoretical and practical training, cadres showed significant improvement in early stunting detection skills, including accurate measurements of height, weight, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and head circumference, as well as the ability to interpret these results to identify signs of stunting in children. Conclusion: There was a notable increase in the cadres’ knowledge and skills, as evidenced by the differences in pre-test and post-test scores. As a follow-up, village midwives conducted monitoring and evaluation to ensure the sustainability of early stunting detection. Additionally, cadre organizations were strengthened to maintain continuous stunting prevention efforts at the village level.
