Jarrod M. Lockett Foundation

Jarrod M. Lockett Foundation The Jarrod M. Lockett Foundation was created in 2013, after the tragic murder of Jarrod M. Lockett in 2012.

In an effort to turn tragedy into triumph, The JML Foundation was established to create awareness of how violent crime impacts victim's families, provide support to those families, and honor the life of Jarrod whose life was cut short by gun violence! Justin Lockett decided that it was time for an organization that focused decreasing the potential for violence in our communities by meaningful comm

unity involvement, education, and service opportunities in efforts to provide safer environments for all. Lockett Foundation educates families about the effects of gun violence and how to properly have preventative conversations. Provide Outreach programs within the community to support families who are victims of violent crimes. Engage the community with public forums and events to share stories of the effects of violence. And encourage trusting relationships between the community and the Police.

One of the greatest gifts we can give isn’t advice, money, or opportunities its presence. Because when a young man knows he’s not walking through life alone, everything begins to change.

He said he wanted to get in shape, so we showed him around the gym. We had one workout together… and hadn’t heard from him since. 😂 But growth starts where comfort ends. We’ll be back! 💪🏾

Brunch after church. Just kicking it, talking life, and enjoying the day. Sometimes that’s all you need.

Garion made one of the most important decisions of his young life, he publicly declared his faith in Jesus Christ through baptism.

Now, the real journey begins. Following Christ doesn’t mean the road will be easy. There will be tests, temptations, distractions, and moments when the world tries to pull him in a different direction. There will be days when standing for what is right won’t be popular. But baptism is a declaration that no matter what comes, he has chosen to put his faith in God and trust Him to guide his steps.

Our job is to continue encouraging him, praying for him, and reminding him that he never has to face those challenges alone. God’s grace is sufficient, His strength is made perfect in weakness, and His promises never fail. We are proud of you, Garion. Keep your eyes on God, stay rooted in His Word, and remember that every test is an opportunity for Him to strengthen your faith and shape your testimony. The same God who brought you through the water will walk with you through every storm.

We had a great time at the Rocket City Trash Pandas’ Juneteenth & Negro Leagues Tribute Night! Good baseball, good conversations, and another opportunity to expose our young men to history while creating memories together. Nights like this are what it’s all about.

This summer, our League of Legacy Mentoring Program is committed to giving young men experiences that inspire growth, confidence, brotherhood, and unforgettable memories and we need your help to make it happen.

One of the major experiences we have planned is a trip to Six Flags for the young men in our program. For many of them, opportunities like this are bigger than just a fun day trip… they are moments that build confidence, connection, joy, and lasting memories.

We are currently seeking donors and sponsors as soon as possible to help us continue creating positive opportunities and safe spaces for the youth we serve throughout the summer.

The cost to sponsor one young man is $80, which covers admission, food, and transportation. Any amount helps and every donation goes directly toward impacting the lives of these young men.

If you would like to donate, sponsor a young man, or support the mission of the Jarrod Michael Lockett Foundation, we would truly appreciate your help.

Thank you for continuing to believe in our mission and for helping us pour into the next generation.

The Jarrod Michael Lockett Foundation is a public non-profit organization, striving to decrease the potential for violence in our communities by meaningful community involvement, education, and service opportunities in efforts to provide safer environments for all.
