Chapter 5 describes, evaluates, and reinterprets the private sector social service program Year Up as a ceremony of social values rather than as a successful response to a social problem. The program is intended to provide poor minority urban youths access to the job market by offering short-term academic and skills training. Its claims to success are based on contracted evaluations that are not credible. In the end, Year Up embodies a mythic obligation to affirm heroic individualism as the essence of civic virtue and personal value. Year Up mandates that participants embark on the quest for authenticity through mentoring and training en route to employment. Yet the myth of Year Up defines one of its most enduring attractions. It is inexpensive and highly selective, in the end a very efficient way to certify the nation’s chosenness without disrupting customary social arrangements, without redefining the relationship among people, and notably without transferring great amounts of assets and income to those in need.

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat di Desa Banyuresmi dilakukan dengan observasi lapangan mengenai permasalahan limbah agroindustri. Mayoritas masyarakat disana menghasilkan limbah dari kegiatan pengelolaan pascapanen kopi dan tembakau. Sampai saat ini di Desa Banyuresmi masih terbatas dalam mengelola limbah agroindustri berupa kulit kopi dan tembakau. Disisi lain, limbah tersebut dapat menjadi sebuah produk yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi. BOTALIKA merupakan sebuah inovasi pembuatan boneka horta berbentuk macan dari limbah kopi dan tembakau. Produk tersebut dapat mendukung Desa Banyuresmi sebagai desa wisata Pasirmacan dengan memanfaatkan potensi lokal untuk meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat. Proyek ini kami kembangkan setelah melihat besarnya potensi lokal dari limbah kopi dan tembakau yang terdapat di Desa Banyuresmi. Keindahan alam yang dimiliki Desa Banyuresmi sangat mendukung untuk menjadikan desa tersebut menjadi sebuah desa wisata. Nantinya, boneka horta “BOTALIKA” dapat menjadi souvenir khas Desa Banyuresmi sebagai desa wisata Pasirmacan.  The social service program in Banyuresmi village was done through field observations regarding the issues of agroindustrial waste. The majority of the public there created waste from the post-harvest activities of coffee and tobacco. To this day the utilization of agroindustrial waste in Banyuresmi village is limited to coffee been skin and tobacco. On the other hand, the waste can become a product with high economical value. BOTALIKA is a new innovation that creates horta dolls in the shape of a tiger from coffee and tobacco waste. The product can support Banyuresmi village as a the Pasirmacan tourism village through the utilization of local potentials in order to increase the community’s economy. The project was developed after identifying the local potential from coffee and tobacco waste that is in Banyuresmi village. The natural beauty of Banyuresmi village bolsters its efforts to become a tourism village. With time, the BOTALIKA horta dolls can become a souvenir from Banyuresmi village as the Pasirmacan tourisme village.
