Character education is the most important aspect in this generation era that is not only smart in knowledge but also has a nice moral and acts in society. However, this practice of character education in schools often fights challenges because of the lack of community participation and the existence of connection with local needs. This article shows how local educational community collaboration is used to strengthen character education in schools around the campus of Universitas Negeri Semarang as part of a community service program. Using Participatory Community Appraisal (PCA), Focus Group Discussion (FGD), student mentoring, and project activities, this program explores real needs while also giving students how to learning experiences. The results show a significant improvement in students’ understanding and personality, especially in responsibility, discipline, and social environment. The success of character education dopends on the harmoy between schools, families, universities, and local communities, as shown in the high participation of teachers and parents. The program also improved teachers’ capacity to combine character values, encouraged parents’ participation in supporting their children at home, and showed the role of universities as academic facilitators. Character education based on local needs can be used as a model example by other schools with cultural and social adaptation, while also supporting the Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 4 on quality education and SDG 17 on partnerships.
