The Greater Purpose Project  501 (c) (3) charitable organization: The mission of #GPP's Youth Heroes Program is to empower students of all ages and socio-economic back-grounds to discover their inner superhero of serving their local and global communities. #GPP's Youth Heroes Program provides students the opportunity to discover their purpose and value through rich and diverse service projects that benefit themselves and the communities they live in. 

THE GREATER PURPOSE PROJECT HAS ENGAGED MORE THAN 3500 STUDENTS IN SERVICE PROJECTS!

  • Food Drive Challenges to Support Local Food Pantries (Kyrene Family Resource Center)
  • Jared Boxes (Care Packages/Cards) for Pediatric Patients at Maricopa County Hospital 
  • Quench Bags (Supply Bags/Resources) for our Homeless Neighbors

After students complete their service project #GPP hosts a Superhero Assembly celebrating their impact. Our assemblies often feature positive celebrity role models and or youth heroes that are making an impact in their communities! ​

our why

 The Greater Purpose Project provides meaningful service learning opportunities so that ALL children can experience the personal benefits and life changing experiences that volunteering provides. We provide students with the tools they need to identify and help solve local issues.   
Students that engage in meaningful service opportunities are less likely to engage in risky behavior (i.e. drugs, alcohol, etc.) and more likely to graduate from high school and attend college.

who do we serve?

 While #GPP’s Youth Heroes Program is available to all schools and youth organizations, we prioritize working with Title One Schools (i.e., low income, high risk populations). #GPP strives to be inclusive of all students (elementary— high school) with all abilities and special needs. ​
 #GPP's Youth Heroes Program teaches students that no matter their socio-economic status, race, age, abilities and or any adversity they face, we all have the opportunity to leave a lasting impact in this world by selflessly giving of ourselves to others. ​​

the problem we solve 

Arizona is tied with New Mexico for having the lowest high school graduation rate in the US. Additionally, Arizona ranks #14 for having the worst high school volunteerism in the country. While there is no quick fix to resolve these issues, The Greater Purpose Project seeks to bring community partners together to provide a long-term solution - through volunteering and purpose-filled activities.

our goal in 2020: GPP is working to engage
10 thousand kids in service projects.
