So What Else is looking for a few committed volunteers to come out and help during the afternoon with sports programming.
So What Else's Sports and Recreation program is designed to promote healthy activity and exercise in youth. This program provides access to fun fitness activities. It keeps the students motivated and engaged in physical activity for at least 60 minutes per session. The format is set up as a series of team games, challenges and individual events. Fitness time is followed by a nutritious snack with tips on how to live a healthier life through your diet. Throughout this course, instructors explore nutrition and healthy living and other issues related to holistic wellness. Integrity and positivity are encouraged and rewarded throughout the class periods.
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.
