Purpose of STRIVE

Teach high school students the value of community and service.

Give students an ownership in supporting Campus Life.

How does it work?

Students receive support for their work prior to the event.

Students and leaders work for 8 hours in and around our community.

All funds received go directly toward providing hundreds of students with a safe place to meet and mentoring.

How can you help?

Sponsor a student with an hourly pledge for the 8-hour work day or give a set amount of $10, $25, $50, or more.

Donate food for the work day celebration or prizes for student incentives.

Additional information

FOR PARENTS
We need your help making your student successful at STRIVE. We have seen that the best way to gain support is though sending out letters. Your student will receive a packet with all the information they need to be successful at STRIVE. Please take a minute to read over it with them and discuss their plan of action.

Also, please join us in supporting our students at the workday bash at Gilbert Park at 5 p.m. on May 12th. This is a great chance to show your support of your students and get a glimpse into all the hard work they performed throughout the day. All food is donated and free for participants and their families.

Lastly, if you would like to help make STRIVE a success by helping us get food donations, lead a work team, or connect us with people in the community interested in supporting STRIVE, please contact Kevin at kevin@icampuslife.com for more information.

FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS
We at Campus Life love high school students and want to give them an opportunity to invest in making our community a better place to live. You can help the students reach their goal by supporting them financially, providing food donations, helping to underwrite the cost of the event, or connecting us with others interested in supporting STRIVE. It is our goal to serve our community tangibly while providing a safe place weekly for middle and high school students to discuss the deeper issues of life. If you would like to be involved in any way, please contact us at Kevin@icampuslife.com.
