STARS MODEL

The Locker is managed by students. The adults involved are facilitators to help the students. The Locker helps students create Service Learning projects and in doing so they help their fellow students in need. This makes for a very unique organization that is true to the STARS model of Service Learning.

Each project follows the STARS model:

• Student Leadership

• Thoughtful Service

• Authentic Learning

• Reflective Practice

• Sustainable Partnerships

Each school operates as a student club. The students conduct the meetings, create the agenda and implement the projects. Adults are there in an advisory capacity. The Locker Board of Directors has a membership consisting of student representatives and adult community members. These Board Members share an equal voice on the Board of Directors.

The Locker model is unique and effective. The Locker is expanding to other school districts across Texas. The students in Georgetown are not only making a difference in their community but in other communities across the state.

The Locker is distinctive because it truly is “Kids Helping Kids”!
