Bakersfield College’s Renegade Nexus is dedicated to supporting the basic needs of students who are experiencing challenges while pursuing higher education.

We were lucky to catch up with David Rodriguez recently. “The best boss I have ever had and still have is Kyle Parker.”

On Thursday, Sept. 26, the May Room, known for hosting a city of theater productions and banquets, was transformed into a makeshift professional barber shop.

Tucked away in a multipurpose space at Parks Library Tuesday, six barbers from the Des Moines area, working for nearly six hours, completed haircuts for 56 Iowa State students. ClipDart, a national not-for-profit started by a Grinnell College alumnus, provides free haircuts, mostly for college student and senior audiences, as a mental wellness service.

When Kyle Parker relocated from Chicago's South Side to attend college in Grinnell, Iowa in 2016, he encountered a problem he never anticipated. 

Barbers and stylists connect with us as humans, care for communities, and make us feel whole, says ClipDart founder Kyle Parker ’18.

The Renegade Nexus at Bakersfield College is a unique service that aims to support the basic needs of BC students. Students have access to food resources, health resources and transportation resources.

Organización ofrece ayuda a quienes la necesitan. Maria Garcia nos explica cómo funciona el programa.

ClipDart’s concept came to me via my mental wellness struggles while attending Grinnell College in Iowa.

Growing up, I could not afford haircuts, which lowered my self-esteem.

There is something to be said about a fresh haircut and a sharp outfit to help one look and feel their best.

Hey guys! It’s Carmina with Mina B Choppin and today we have David here with ClipDart.

Expenses can add up, especially for many seniors who've been retired for years, every penny counts. That's why a group called ClipDart is on a mission to provide some free services to make these seniors feel special. FOX 10's Irene Snyder has the story.

ClipDart is a nonprofit providing free haircuts to communities with restricted access to haircare needs. David Rodriguez, Chief Strategy Officer of ClipDart, joined Horizon to tell us more.

ClipDart has provided thousands of haircuts for those in need and thanks to a grant, they’ll be able to do even more for the community.

ClipDart is revolutionizing the hair care industry with a focus on improving overall mental wellness through its non-profit organization.

Who doesn’t love a great hair day?! Believe it or not, a great haircut can make a big difference when it comes to how we feel about ourselves.
