Leadworthy 3 Final Project

Create Your Legacy- Next Steps Scholarship Project

Create Your Legacy Tee Project (Leadworthy 3 Final Project)

The 'Create Your Legacy' Tee is a shirt I created to support the Next Steps Scholarship at Cleveland High School.  Two years ago me and my family started this scholarship with profits from my Just Hanging Out Co.  *Read more about it below.  I want to inspire people to create their own legacy and make a difference in the world.  I love the Blue Raiders so I included the C and the Raider in my design.  The shirt comes in RED and BLACK.

If I sell:

50 shirts= (2) $200 scholarships  (that is our yearly goal to award)

75 shirts= (2x2 years) $200 scholarships

100 shirts= (2x3 years) $200 scholarships

Help me reach my goals for my project and leave my legacy at CHS.

Two years ago my family created a scholarship called the Next Steps Scholarship. It was privately funded with profits from my Just Hanging Out Co.  The first year we gave one scholarship and the second year we gave two.   I am now making this my Leadworthy 3 (Leadership class) Final project.  My teacher said the project needed to leave a lasting legacy on our school.  This is me creating my legacy!

What is the Next Steps Scholarship?

The purpose of Next Steps Scholarship is to recognize a senior student who has worked extremely hard to overcome academic and other challenges to get to high school graduation and completion.Scholarship will be awarded to a Cleveland High School Special Education student who will be graduating from CHS by completing the requirements of the student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) and will receive a high school diploma, occupational diploma or certificate, a special education diploma, a transitional certificate or and IEP certificate.Scholarship can be used for students 'Next Steps' like college or vocational school needs like books, fees or application or other post high school programming.  Award can also be used for job interview needs like clothing.  How scholarship is used is up to the recipient! 

When will products be ready?

This project is a Pre-Order project. Orders will close Oct. 20 and then be ready for pick-up or shipping about 2-3 weeks after that. You can order a t-shirt, hat or just do an online donation for this Next Steps Scholarship project. We will have a pick up date at CHS and shipping is always an option.

'Just Hanging Out'

Hi! My name is Kade. Before my freshman year I wanted to start my own company with my mom to start learning some jobs. I learned about many different parts of a small business.

I got to hear stories about so many of our customers- over 175 customers from 10 different states! My favorite part has been social media promoting my Just Hanging Out Brand and picking out the different products. I am glad I have been able to do several service projects with my profits!

You have encouraged our family and we are excited to grow a little over the next year to see if this is a business Kade can continue more independently moving forward.


Our family appreciates you helping us prepare our guy for the big world. Your kindness has been overwhelming and so encouraging to our family. Keep sharing our pages and help us keep growing in the future!
