This study examines the understanding of members of campus organizations regarding the impact of radicalization that leads to terrorism and the actions that students should take to prevent or not take part in radical actions. This study aims to explore the involvement of young people in these organizations in combating radical actions. Young people are not only involved in organizational activities but also actively organize activities to fight against radicalization. Young people's concerns about radicalization are increasingly apparent from the spread of information about its impact through social media. The findings of this study indicate that the involvement of young people in organizations on campus has a positive influence on them, including increased self-confidence, leadership skills, and decision-making skills related to dealing with security issues. The study's novelty derives from its contribution to the study of youth in Indonesian student organizations and their efforts to combat radicalization toward terrorist causes. This focus provides insight into the impact these organizations have on young people's lives. Therefore, the study's relevance as an examination of how to prevent radicalization is significant. This study will be of interest to educational institution administrators and policymakers. Copyright © 2026 Seniwati, Triyanto, Effendi, Achsin, Ranti and Angkananon.
