​Our Give Back Club was created to give our local youth an opportunity to be involved in an entrepreneurial project that focuses on giving back and fundraising through social enterprise. 

The Grade 4/5 students in our Give Back Club are 100% responsible for choosing the type of product they want to create along with the design, sales and marketing of their product. They have complete ownership of the project and it has made us so proud to see what they have come up with and the symbolism/meaning behind their designs.

100% of the profits from the sales of our Give Back Club collection will be going towards supporting our projects that deliver access to education to children around the world.

Beyond the fact that these kids have created unique and modern apparel themselves, they have also been involved in planning and organizing marketing events such as PopUp shops, Runs and Relays to market and promote their product and raise awareness for Ruben’s Shoes.
Their efforts and initiatives have been truly remarkable.

If you are interested in purchasing any of these items and supporting our students, please get in touch with us kelly@rubensshoes.com 

GIVE BACK CLUB COLLECTION 2017
LORD KELVIN Elementary, Triangle Peace Hat:
The students at Lord Kelvin created a modern hat with a design that encompasses many things:

The colours BLUE and GREEN represent the world across land and sea.
The colour YELLOW represents friendship.
The CIRCLE represents the world and never ending friendships.
The TRIANGLE with the PEACE SYMBOL in the middle represents peace across the land.
The HEART represents friendship.
The upside down 7’s represent the seven continents of the world.
Coyote Creek Elementary, Unity Draw-string bag:
The students at Coyote Creek created a draw-string bag that represents everyone around the world coming together and uniting as one.
The students' design was created to show how each of us are a "part of a puzzle that creates one world". They wanted it to show that even though we are all different we create something bigger and are all really wanting the same things in life. The quote they came up with to describe their artwork was; "we are all connected, each piece matters" 
GIVE BACK CLUB COLLECTION 2016
Coyote Creek Elementary, Peace Dragon Tee:
The students created a T-Shirt with a dragon design that represents many things but mostly it represents peace, love and understanding. The Dragon is breathing hearts which represent love and if you look closely you can see that there is a smiley face inside of its mouth showing that it is friendly and symbolizes peace. The students wanted to represent understanding because typically dragons are thought of as scary but this is a friendly dragon so it demonstrates that it is important not to judge a book by its cover. ​
​Aspenwood Elementary, Diamond Snapback Hat:
The students created the hat with a unique design that represents Unity. 
The 7 diamonds represent the 7 continents of the world uniting as 1 and coming together to make a difference. They also came up with their slogan, "Buy a hat, make a difference"

Centro Educativo Toribio, Bird Canvas Tote:
We created a workshop at our school in the Dominican Republic and all of our students in our Give Back Club had a hand in helping to create this design. The workshop included RUBEN who was on site to also help with the design and creation of this bag. The chosen design was a drawing created by one of our students in the Dominican Republic, Yokasta. The dove represents peace and symbolizes the harmony and love shown by people around the globe. ​
