In social organizations, a core value known as a sense of community is essential to ensuring the organization's long-term viability and promoting the active participation of all its constituent parts. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of appreciative inquiry in building a sense of community in organizations.

The results showed that the value of T = 3.092 > 1.701 with p = 0.000 <0.005 so that it can be interpreted that Appreciative Inquiry has a significant role in increasing the sense of community which can be shown by organizational members succeeding in designing organizational dreams and designing changes in the form of GOAT Strategy. The implementation of Appreciative Inquiry by the organization is expected to provide experience for members of social organizations so that they can develop the organization.
