The Covid-19 pandemic caused various disturbances in society, especially in the socio-economic field. Almost all residents of Bicak Village feel the impact, this is because most of the residents are engaged in agriculture. The pandemic resulted in reduced grain prices and fewer job opportunities. However, the economy must keep moving by digging in, trying, and revitalizing local potential and resources. This research is based on social entrepreneurship to address the impact of the pandemic. Qualitative approaches with descriptive methods are used to explain the phenomenon of the revitalization of the impact of the pandemic with local potential-based social entrepreneurship. Primary data is collected through observations, interviews, and airy records, while primary data is from various sources of documentation. The results showed that the Bicak Village Government improved the quality of human resources in terms of practically useful knowledge and skills.
