The data sources used are primary data sources and secondary data sources. The results of the study show that the role of Community Social Workers (PSM) is in the dynamic aspect where PSM has not yet held an activity to address social welfare problems due to a lack of coordination with regional coordination and lack of financial support, PSM only collaborates with other parties who hold activities. In the administrator aspect, PSM has not done its job correctly because in recording and reporting PSM only reports via WhatsApp and does not make special records. PSM is also not aware that they will hold regular meetings between PSM’s. based on the results of this research, the researcher proposes a program namely “Increasing the Capacity of Community Social Workers” which aims to improve the quality of PSM’s role capabilities and performance in overcoming social problems in social welfare efforts including in the role of dynamics and administrator roles.       Keywords: Role; Community Social Worker; Social Welfare Business.
