So What Else is looking for a few committed volunteers to come out and help during the afternoon with Character Education on Thursdays from 3:00 PM- 5:00 PM.
The Character Education Program is based on the 11 Principles of Character Education. The first principle is for our program to operate based on a strong foundation of core values and principles and this program is guided by the So What Else 10 Pillars, each pillar thoughtfully woven into our daily programs.
This curriculum promotes core values that are ethics and performance based which will lead students to become responsible and caring citizens who contribute to their communities. This program includes activities that help create caring communities, allow students to explore social-emotional learning, reinforce positive youth development, and give the students opportunities to participate in service learning.
Overall, we aim to create a program that provides a safe and positive learning and playing environment in which students can feel supported and appreciated as we guide them towards becoming capable individuals and outstanding citizens.
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.

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.
