  • The Village

    The Jarrod Michael Lockett Foundation launched “The Village” in 2019, as an opportunity for parents to network, come together, take back our communities, saving one child at a time. We believe that “It takes a village to raise a child” and standing by this concept is what will help us reduce violent crimes in our communities.
