This study aims to analyze the mediating role of community participation in the relationship between village head leadership and the empowerment of Karang Taruna in Sindanglaka Village, Karangtengah Subdistrict, Cianjur Regency. The study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory design, involving 50 respondents who were members of Karang Taruna, using a saturation sampling technique. Data collection was conducted via a questionnaire using a Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on SmartPLS. The results indicate that village head leadership has a positive and significant effect on community participation, with a coefficient of 0.981 and a p-value of 0.000. However, the direct effect of leadership on the empowerment of Karang Taruna was not significant, with a coefficient of 0.369 and a p-value of 0.085. On the other hand, community participation was found to have a positive and significant effect on the empowerment of Karang Taruna, with a coefficient of 0.615 and a p-value of 0.003. Furthermore, the indirect effect of leadership on empowerment through community participation was also significant, with a coefficient of 0.603 and a p-value of 0.003. These findings indicate that community participation acts as an effective mediating variable in bridging the relationship between village head leadership and the empowerment of Karang Taruna. Thus, inclusive and participatory leadership is key to increasing community involvement, which ultimately impacts the strengthening of the youth organization’s capacity and autonomy. This study provides a theoretical contribution to the development of a leadership- and participation-based empowerment model, as well as practical implications for village governments in designing youth empowerment policies.
