It causes the majority of teenagers to lead to juvenile delinquent behavior, including premarital sexual behavior, because they are curious about trying new things. Premarital sexual behavior by teenagers puts them at risk of unwanted pregnancy and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The 2017 Indonesian Health Demographic Survey (SDKI) stated that teenagers' premarital behavior varied from 3%-66%, from the behavior of having touched/groped to the behavior of holding hands when dating. Apart from that, the consequences of rapid growth and development of teenagers also have an impact on teenagers' need for self-actualization to be very high. This causes teenagers to spend a lot of time with peers. Karang Taruna is an organization in society that was formed to accommodate and channel youth creativity, including facilitating the social needs of teenagers with their peers. This service activity aims to provide knowledge about preconception health to adolescents through empowering peers in youth organizations. This activity was carried out in 2 stages, namely peer training and peer educational assistance. The results of this activity are that the majority of youth organization members' knowledge and attitudes are in the good category (60% and 60%) after peer education activities were carried out. The conclusion of this activity is that empowering peers with Seni Pesan Pepsi (Sejak Dini Peduli Kesehatan Prakonsepsi) can improve the knowledge and attitudes of preconception care members of the Kartika Chandra Utama Youth Organization, Selorejo Hamlet, Wonorejo Village, Karanganyar. Keywords: Education, Peers, Adolescents, Preconceptio
