LEARN AND SERVE TAMPA
Mission:
Learn and Serve Tampa bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world impact, helping schools and educators integrate service as a powerful tool for academic and personal growth.
Vision:
A Tampa Bay where all youth have access to meaningful service opportunities that build leadership and inspire civic engagement.
OUR THEORY OF CHANGE
When youth learn through service, they build the skills, empathy, and leadership needed to create lasting change in their communities.
OUR STRATEGY
Host Events and Sponsor Projects
for Middle School Students to participate in three
National Days of Service:
9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance
Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service
Global Youth Service Day/Month
OUR TARGETS
Engage 1000 new volunteers in a first act of service during the middle school years.
Reengage 900, or 90%, of those volunteers in futures acts of service and 200, or 20% in leadership roles.
Acknowledge that 50, or 5%, of those volunteers apply for a high school service/leadership program.
