This study focuses on two things consisting of the implementation of non- formal education programs for the community and the supporters and inhibitors of the program. Moreover, researcher uses descriptive and qualitative research, by using the interview techniques. The results of this research indicate the implementation of the program carried out by the Education Office for the community has not gone as well.
