Happy New Year All,
So What Else is looking for some committed volunteers interested in working with youth after-school. As a volunteer you will be assisting program staff with the after-school programs they will be teaching.
Expressive Arts is a 12 week after-school program that starts January 23th at multiple locations and will continue until the end of spring.
The Expressive Art Curriculum is based on a multidisciplinary approach to visual arts. Elements of service learning, environmentalism, music and literacy and are consistently interwoven into this dynamic after-school program, teaching students the importance creative expression in their everyday lives. Throughout the program students will be exposed to topics such as up-cycling, story telling, goal setting, self-empowerment and more.
Service learning is integrated into this program by using art to creating gifts and cards to donate to children in the hospital or to people in shelters, by utilizing "trash-to-treasure" techniques to create artwork out of used materials and by using art skills to create gifts for those we appreciate in the community creating an opportunity for students to "pay-it-forward."
If you are interested in helping our youth out, looking for a resume builder, or need to get credit hours for a class please sign up for more information.
Below will be the different locations and times during the week that offer this type of programming :
(1) Shady Grove Middle School 8100 Midcounty Hwy, Gaithersburg, MD 20877 3:15 pm- 4:15 pm
(2) Neelsville Middle School 11700 Neelsville Church Rd, Germantown, MD 20876 3:30 pm- 5:30 pm

Description
So What Else (SWE) ... can we do to help? is a nonprofit organization founded in 2009 and focused on building strong, vibrant and resilient communities through direct programming and in partnership with allied organizations. Our primary programming embraces two key areas: Food Security and Youth Development Programs.
SWE started with Youth programming and added Food Security as we witnessed the massive economic dislocations caused by the C19 Pandemic and the consequent explosion in food insecurity. SWE and its community partners operate several Food Relief programs in Montgomery and surrounding counties, in Washington D.C. and Baltimore.
SWE needs volunteers who share our passion for service and seek to have an immediate and lasting impact upon the lives and fortunes of those we serve. Our volunteers are essential to our ability to deliver reliable, accessible and high-quality education programming and food security services.
SWE welcomes volunteers of all backgrounds, experiences and capabilities. Our greatest needs at present are for Food Pantry helpers, Bulk Food Recovery & Distribution Warehouse workers, Delivery & Distribution drivers and Teacher's Aides / Classroom Assistants.
Please contact swevolunteer@gmail.com to share your area of interest and learn more about volunteering with SWE. Visit sowhatelse.org to learn more about our programs and impact! Thanks!
