So What Else is looking for a few committed volunteers to come out and help on Thursday afternoons from 3:30 pm- 5:30 pm starting April 5th, 2018.
Green Path Academy is a mix of outdoor education, research, and environmental learning. Green Path Academy inspires and motivates students to become socially and environmental conscious beings. Through hands on, applicable activities, students are able to learn about environmental issues taking place in our world today and how these issues affect their lives and futures.
Green Path Academy classes are designed to teach students the importance of living sustainably and how they can accomplish this on both an individual and group level. This program introduces participants to a multitude of environmental topics, including recycling , composting, climate change, global conversation efforts, animal welfare, growing your own food and sustainable diets. Students will gain a heightened connection with nature, empowering them to make sustainable change in their own lives and in their communities.
As a volunteer you will be helping to set up for classes, interacting with youth during programming as well as helping the program staff clean up once the class come to a close.
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.

Mission Statement

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.
