Abstract: Community service is carried out in Botubarani Village, Kabila Bone District, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province. Botubarani Village has been known as a tourist area for whale sharks. Another tourism potential developed in Botubarani Village is a geosite to support geotourism development. Regarding the geotourism development plan, students of the Geological Engineering Study Program, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo carried out three programs concerned with the revitalization of Botubarani Village consisting of cleaning the geosite location, making geosite information boards and installing geosite information boards. To achieve this goal in carrying out the Independent Learning Campus (MBKM) Real Work Lecture (KKN), students of the Geological Engineering Study Program, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo implemented three stages of community service consisting of the preparation stage, the implementation stage and the last stage, namely finishing. The results of the community service implementation of the three geosite revitalization programs in Botubarani Village were successful with 100% performance because the community was very involved. The three programs that were carried out directly provided benefits from the initial lack of maintenance of the geosite to being cleaner and tidier. This condition clearly has a direct impact on tourist visits so that it will affect the economic improvement of the community around the geosite.
