Student-Lead Greater Purpose Projects Our team works with schools and youth organizations to develop and execute student-lead Greater Purpose Projects. #GPP's Youth Heroes Program provides students with the mentoring and tools they need to accomplish large-scale service projects that benefit their local and global communities. #GPP's curriculum helps students discover how to use their talents and skills ( we call those superpowers) to help others. Some of our service projects include but are not limited to:
#GPP Superhero Assembly After the students complete their Greater Purpose Project, #GPP's Superhero Squad rewards them with a "get out of your chair- wave your hands in the air," superhero assembly, which often features a positive celebrity role model. We are grateful to partner with role models like Olympic Silver Medalist (US Women's Hockey Player) Lyndsey Fry and San Francisco 49ers Player, Robbie Gould.
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.
#GPP Youth Heroes Program Will Ignite the Superhero Within Your Students. Our Program Achieves the following goals:

Could you imagine interviewing Arizona Cardinals legend, Larry Fitzgerald on the red carpet?! That dream came true for 16-year old Jordan Brandon. The Campo Verde High School student won #GPP's Superhero Sports Reporter Contest and the chance to to interview Larry Fitzgerald on the red carpet at his charity event (Fitz's Supper Club). #GPP selected Jorda based on a mini- essay she wrote about her experience volunteering at her school's anti-bullying club.
#GPP's Superhero Squad busted in on Jordan's media class to surprise her with the news and an autographed football signed by Larry! You better believe our cameras were rolling! Watch the video to see how a high school sideline reporter transformed into a red carpet interviewer at Larry Fitzgerald's signature charity event! We love rewarding real-life superheroes for sensational deeds! |
