Anchored4Life is a peer-to-peer, student led, leadership and transition club to connect students while building change and resiliency skills. The club provides opportunities for students to enhance social skills, learn leadership skills, build character, improve self-esteem, and integrate into their community. Anchored4Life provides military student support for students to help fellow peers navigate the unique challenges of the military.
Anchored4Life partners with local non-profits City Rescue Mission and Cup of Love to giveaway JWJ Love in a Bag (Homeless Care Packages) for our annual service project. During the 23-24 school year, we passed out over 100 JWJ Love in a Bags.
