The Locker provides a way for students to learn to serve their community and in doing so they help their fellow students in need. Service Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility and strengthen communities. Through Service Learning, students become active community members that are engaged in thoughtful service as they collaborate with their peers and community to create and implement service projects. They learn leadership and valuable real-life lessons. Teams and organizations come together to conduct projects to help their fellow students. This gives students a way to be a part of something bigger than themselves. It encourages them to look at others from a different perspective. The Locker continues to be a catalyst to connect the community with the needs of the students. We focus on sustainability and collaboration with our community to strengthen our partnerships and discover new partnerships that will mutually benefit kids in need. The Locker strives to involve others in our projects in a personal way. We have a hands-on approach to the planning and implementation of our projects and events.

The Locker provides life-enhancing items to help students succeed.

caps and gowns
sports equipment and physicals
extra-curricular expenses
academic fees
field trip fees
work clothes
emergency dentist visits
bicycles and helmets.

These items help students succeed. It allows them to stay involved in school activities and connected to school coaches, teachers, and peers. Research, like the 40 Developmental Assets, shows that children that are engaged are more successful.

The Locker provides necessities to students in need:

NEW clothing and shoes
healthy snacks
water
bedding
hygiene items
school supplies.

These basic items are tools necessary to ensure success in school and everyday life. These items enable students to focus on school and be more successful as a result. We have physical “lockers” on several campuses. All lockers are open for every student.
