CollegeTracks also engages parents, advises on the selections and decisions, and provides hands-on help with financial aid and scholarship applications to help students avoid onerous debt.
College SUCCESS ProgramOur Success Program supports students once they begin their postsecondary education. Students learn critical success skills and develop a detailed degree plan. The coaches help students manage academic, financial, personal and social challenges they may face, and secure ongoing financial aid so they can thrive and graduate.
Volunteer Opportunities
Our pre-COVID volunteer model was to have volunteers sit side by side with our students. The in-person model is not sustainable in these times. For the foreseeable future, we plan to use a limited number of current volunteers while we navigate the virtual advising process. We will post new opportunities when our program is ready to add new volunteers.
Volunteer Roles
You may choose to be a College Access Volunteer, a Test Prep Volunteer or an MC Tutor Volunteer. Each requires a weekly commitment of 2-6 hours on a specified school day for the duration of the academic year. All volunteers are required to participate in a role-specific training program to ensure they have the best tools and resources to support their work with students.
College Access Volunteers perform a variety of tasks related to the college admissions and financial aid processes. Specific tasks include registering and preparing students for college admissions tests, creating college lists that match student interest and ability, application preparation to include to include essay writing, completion of the FAFSA, and guidance through the admissions process at Montgomery College.
ACT Test Prep Volunteers help students prepare for the ACT college admissions test by tutoring a small group of students once a week for 8 to 12 weeks each semester. Test Prep Volunteers prepare 45-60 minute lessons in a range of subject areas (English, Math, Reading, and Science) to help students understand subject material, provide test-taking strategies, and support students through practice tests.
MC Tutoring Program Volunteers tutor CollegeTracks students attending Montgomery College in subjects ranging from Developmental Math to Calculus, ESL to English 101 and Biology to Physics. Working one on one or in small groups, tutors help students achieve academic success in their courses.
 
Prospective volunteers are selected as space becomes available.

With budget cuts to government funded organizations and an ever growing population of children living under the poverty line, kids everywhere are missing out on an opportunity to participate in athletics. We identify areas of need and work within the community (religious centers, community centers, private schools, scout troop collections etc...) to collect as much equipment as possible so that these children can have sports equipment of their own!
We are always in need of volunteers to help with the following tasks

Sorting/Inventorying equipment donations in our warehouse
Reorganizing our shelves and making sure items are in the correct place and are properly sorted by size
Help identify items that are not in safe condition and help us recycle those items
Help put together outgoing donations in the warehouse
Run your own collection drive! Mitzvah Project, Eagle Scout, Honors Society, you name it!!! (Please note that students may not earn SSL hours for time spent collecting items or hosting a collection drive on their own without direct, in-person supervision provided by a registered nonprofit organization in a public space.)
Help us at OUR collection drives - Join us in the community as we run our many collection drives at sports leagues, tournaments and other community events

Mobile laboratories (mobile labs) allow us to bring scientific tools and techniques right to the school parking lot, allowing students access to experiences far beyond what many schools can provide.
Learning Undefeated leverages its established, trusted relationships with private industry and school systems to create authentic STEM career experiences on its mobile laboratories (MdBioLab, MXLab, Drop Anywhere Labs, and the explorer lab) and through summer programs. These experiences provide a unique opportunity for students to observe first-hand the types of careers they could pursue. Students and teachers who participate gain increased access to information about bioscience industry products, research, and related careers through project and inquiry-based laboratory experiences that are aligned with local, state, and national curriculum standards.
Student Opportunities 
Learning Undefeated is a proud affiliate of the Montgomery County Volunteer Center and Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). We take part in offering middle school and high school students service-learning opportunities throughout the state of Maryland.

We assist the communities to develop their own initiatives, which may involve public health, education, environment, economic development, etc. into feasible projects. The selected communities, ICI, and partner(s) will form a coalition that implement those developed projects for lasting impacts and sustainable outcomes to the beneficiary populations. With compassion assistance, collaborative mindset, and collective resources, we envision that any community can be developed and enabled to grow toward self-sustaining. ICI wants to be the organization that brings passionate people together to make our world a better place - one community at a time! Medical mission: The International Community Initiatives (ICI), in collaboration with the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) School of Pharmacy and Health Professions, organized and conducted an inaugural public health and medical mission to Kinh 7 Charity Clinic in Kien Giang, Vietnam from December 11 to 15, 2017. The team included healthcare professionals and students in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and public health in both the United States and Vietnam. These volunteers with experiences and passion in global health collaborated during a weeklong period of service to provide primary care, medication, and health education to individuals living within the districts of Kien Giang. They focused on stroke prevention, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and smoking cessation, the leading causes of death in Vietnam. Kinh 7 charity clinical project: ICI is supporting collaborative efforts of the Kinh 7 Charity Clinic, which locates in Kien Giang Province, Southern Vietnam), to rebuild its basic infrastructure and establish sustainable community health education program for the clinic. The project’s goal is to rebuild the heavily deteriorated and collapsing kitchen facility being used by interfaith volunteer groups to provide free meals for 250 to 350 patients and caregivers daily. In addition, this project will add build a lower level extended stay rooms for the clinic's volunteers and an upper level guest rooms to accommodate short-term stay of volunteer healthcare professionals and students who support community health initiatives to serve the increasing needs and number of poor patients in the local and surrounding areas. Fresh water project: The Dak Ya Community locates in rural regions of Gia Lai Province, Vietnam. Its population is close to 4,652 people who mostly are Bahnar ethnic minority among a few of others. These local people are very poor farmers who make their seasonal living from coffee and rice crops, mostly by selling their manual labor. The Dak Ya community desperately needs a source of fresh water for drinking, especially during drought seasons, because almost natural sources from small streams in the region are either dried out or contaminated with pesticides as a result of obsolete farming practices.ICI and partner ECCDA have joined forced together and bring a 4,000-liter-per-day filtration system to help alleviate some stress on this poor community's standard of living. All purified water from the system meets and exceeds all the required health standards for direct consumption.</agency_description><date_added>2018-08-17T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2018-08-18T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Duy Bui</contact><phone>1-202-306-7908</phone><address>12320 Parklawn Drive</address><city>Rockville</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20852</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.icius.org/</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=89486"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.111543993 39.05885898)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-6bs8.gvr9.4dcm" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-6D47-67CFCEF0EC7C" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-6bs8.gvr9.4dcm"><agency_id>119700</agency_id><agency_name>eCYBERMISSION</agency_name><agency_description>eCYBERMISSION volunteers engage, inspire, and support students as they compete in eCYBERMISSION.</agency_description><date_added>2021-02-05T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2022-02-01T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Kathryn Lasky</contact><phone>1-703-312-9269</phone><address>1840 Wilson Blvd, Ste 300</address><city>Arlington</city><state>VA</state><zip_code>22201</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.ecybermission.com</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=119700"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.080605969 38.892744998)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-4jt2_ua6j-uz4r" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-1356-FA1612C0A723" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-4jt2_ua6j-uz4r"><agency_id>87188</agency_id><agency_name>American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA)</agency_name><agency_description>AIHA brings together a wide variety of stakeholders to discuss important worker health and safety issues affecting society, develop technical expertise, and share best practices.

Fairs &amp; Festival Outreach
Enjoy talking to people?  Staff an information table at area fairs and festivals and share recycling program literature and respond to resident’s concerns on recycling and other related issues.  Topics include residential curbside recycling, yard trim recycling (composting and grasscycling), special drop-off programs (confidential paper shredding/recycling and clothing/household goods donation collection events etc.) and business and multi-family recycling programs. 
 
Compost Workshops
Teach County residents about the do’s and don’ts of backyard composting.  Interactive workshops include how to build a compost pile, what to put in it, how to care for the pile, and how to use the finished product.  Workshops are usually held at local nurseries and garden centers, in County buildings and community centers, but they may be held at other locations in the spring and fall.  Free compost bins may be available for distribution at these workshops.  These workshops may be presented to civic groups and schools.
 
Recycling Speakers’ Bureau
Take our show on the road!  Use PowerPoint presentations, videos, display boards, brochures and flyers to give presentations about DEP's Recycling and Resource Management Division's recycling program and efforts as well as related environmental initiatives in both formal and informal settings.  Share information at schools, civic group meetings or gatherings, community fairs, shopping mall events and garden centers throughout Montgomery County.   
 
Office Assistance
Share your office skills and help with special projects in DEP's Recycling and Resource Management Division's Waste Reduction and Recycling Section office.  Help with office work such as labeling and stuffing envelopes, preparing packets of information with flyers and brochures, folding brochures and other material, updating and correcting information in various books or manuals, etc.

Like the academies, students are not charged tuition; they repay the nation for their education through service. In many respects, USU?s curricula and educational experiences are similar to those of civilian academic health centers, with one important difference: its emphasis on military health care, leadership, readiness and public health set USU apart. The F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine offers doctorate degrees in medicine, doctorate and master?s degrees in public health and related disciplines, doctorate degrees in medical and clinical psychology, and interdisciplinary Ph.D. degrees in three military-relevant areas of science: molecular and cell biology, neuroscience, and emerging infectious diseases. Medical students are commissioned as junior officers in their chosen service? Army, Navy, Air Force or U.S. Public Health Service. They are on active duty throughout their education and are compensated as such. Upon completion of their education (including residency), they owe seven years service to the nation. More than 60 percent of USU graduates willingly serve 20 years or longer. USU graduate students, both military and civilian, pursue doctoral (and some master?s) degrees in public health, clinical psychology or the biomedical sciences. Students must be citizens to qualify for stipends from appropriated funds. The high caliber of USU?s basic science departments, research centers and the University?s partnerships with the NIH and several national labs provide an extraordinarily rich environment for scientific discovery and professional growth. The Daniel K. Inouye Graduate School of Nursing offers a Ph.D. in Nursing Science, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in Nurse Anesthesia, Family Nurse Practitioner, Women?s Health Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. It also offers a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and a Doctor of Nursing Practice in Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist. Students in the DNP and MSN programs must be on active duty in the Army, Navy or Air Force or be in the U.S. Public Health Service. Ph.D. students may be active-duty nurses in one of the four uniformed services or work for the Veterans Administration or other federal service. Active-duty students and federal employees apply for admission, first through their service, and then to the University. Students in the Postgraduate Dental College are pursuing a Master of Science in Oral Biology in conjunction with their postgraduate clinical specialty training. All students are active-duty officers who have already earned a Doctor of Dental Surgery or a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. All USU graduates pursue their professional practice within the federal health system that provides extraordinary access to a range of experience and practice around the globe. This practice is shaped by the USU education that prepares them to be leaders, working across professions in teams to focus on disease prevention and health promotion.</agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2022-01-25T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Althea Green</contact><phone>1-301-295-3198</phone><address>4301 Jones Bridge Road</address><address2>Room A1041</address2><city>Bethesda</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20814</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.usuhs.edu</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=76830"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.084649986 39.004477988)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-iny3.ziak-82x3" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-47CE-4B864B2822E0" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-iny3.ziak-82x3"><agency_id>85749</agency_id><agency_name>North Chevy Chase Connections</agency_name><agency_description>We offer neighbor to neighbor services in the form of a village framework.

One of the primary responsibilities trainees have is camper supervision and activity facilitation. There is always a full staff member present when trainees are interacting with the kids. Trainees also participate in service projects every summer, with the topics changing from year to year. This past summer, trainees spent 4 weeks learning about homelessness in our area, and putting together food and supplies baskets to donate at the end of the summer. They also created new home kits for people transitioning out of homelessness. Two years ago there were lessons on youth illness, and related donation projects as well. Each summer there is a new educational topic and a series of projects that go along with it. Trainees also partner with nearby organizations, like Camp Greentop, which hosts campers with special needs every summer. They go to that camp, and run programs and games, and learn about the accommodations at Greentop that enable anyone to attend summer camp. Each summer has unique service opportunities. Service is a very important part of the program to us, so although the particular projects may change year to year, all trainees will always participate in a variety of service during their time in the program.

Boys being mentored come from a variety of backgrounds. The work we do is transformational. And we have fun. For more information from the teens themselves go to our website, www.boystomengw.org, the national website, www.boystomenusa.org and email mentordad@gmail.com.
We conduct early morning programs Tuesdays and Wednesdays in schools in Laurel and Hanover Maryland. We also hold meetings once a month on the second Sunday of the month from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Springhill Lake Recreation Center, 6101 Cherrywood Lane, Greenbelt, Maryland 20770
We offer a transformational "Rites of Passage Adventure" weekend the last weekend in April. We are not affiliated with any religious or political organizations. Our boys have gone from "at risk" to full scholarship at good colleges and universities.
All mentors must fill out a one-page background check which is then vetted for any predatory offenses. When it is offered, mentors are encouraged to take a one day "Reclaiming you Teenage Fire" training which takes mentors back to their teen-aged years to better understand the teens they are mentoring and to ensure mentors do not project their issues onto teens. Boys to Men provides support to mentors as well as teens, with our focus is on the teens.
We support the Department of Energy's (DOE) summer program with a weeklymentoring circle at various locations in the Washington DC area.  We offer adventure trips such as white water rafting, baseball games, visits to museums and opportunities within the Washington DC area.</agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2023-02-04T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Sylvester Hodge</contact><phone>+12408882342</phone><address>PO Box 544</address><city>Beltsville</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20704</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.boystomengw.org</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=75961"/><geo_location>POINT (-76.9133 39.03376)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-xh4f~tvct~36d8" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-C213-0AD1EA1B3D99" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-xh4f~tvct~36d8"><agency_id>105332</agency_id><agency_name>Maryland Coalition of Families</agency_name><agency_description>*Help families navigate mental health systems * Provide them with tools to advocate * Connect parents, caregivers, young people and the loved ones to each other * Ensure their voice and perspective is heard * Raise public awareness and fight mental illness stigma</agency_description><date_added>2019-10-04T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2019-10-30T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Darlene Collins</contact><phone>1-410-730-8267</phone><address>10632 Little Patuxent Parkway</address><address2>Suite 234</address2><city>Columbia</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20144</zip_code><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=105332"/><geo_location>POINT (-76.870839036 39.21436998)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-sav6~nits-mn9e" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-0EBC-910BD4787344" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-sav6~nits-mn9e"><agency_id>76093</agency_id><agency_name>Leadership Montgomery</agency_name><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2021-07-01T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Wylea Chase</contact><phone>1-301-881-3333</phone><address>6010 Executive Boulevard</address><address2>Suite 200</address2><city>Rockville</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20852</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.leadershipmontgomerymd.org</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=76093"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.123071038 39.047489012)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-bhh2_8gau_vix6" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-0E18-AE622E30320C" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-bhh2_8gau_vix6"><agency_id>106433</agency_id><agency_name>DC Regional Christian Church</agency_name><agency_description>community service and church</agency_description><date_added>2019-11-07T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2019-11-07T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Ray Mensah</contact><phone>1-301-775-6529</phone><address>3701 St Barnabas Rd</address><city>Suitland</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20901</zip_code><agency_url>https://www.dcregional.org/</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=106433"/><geo_location>POINT (-76.942607657 38.838392253)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-ehie~sgic-bcfc" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-E5FF-B6614B2B58AF" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-ehie~sgic-bcfc"><agency_id>76763</agency_id><agency_name>Temple Sinai</agency_name><agency_description>The primary work we ask our teen volunteers to do is support our students with special learning needs.

Play is at the heart of learning and hands-on opportunities are provided to encourage learning. Top Philosophy Young children learn through play. Through play children have the opportunity to explore their environment, try out various roles and problem solving strategies, and work on the idea of discovering relationships. This involves their senses as they touch, move, create, and develop understanding about their feelings. Sensory development is facilitated by multi-sensory experiences, play, and language development. Through interaction with adults and peers, children become fascinated by the power of language as a tool for communication and understanding each other. Through positive nurturing and encouragement, children are guided towards the development of autonomy and positive self-esteem. Our philosophy is based on the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s (NAEYC) developmentally appropriate practices. Children’s play is a primary vehicle for developmental growth. Children learn best by doing; it requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn firsthand about the world we live in. In the early years, children explore the world around them by using all of their senses. In using real materials and trying out their ideas, children learn about sizes, shapes, and colors, and they notice the relationships between things. Therefore, child-initiated, teacher-supported play is an essential component of developmental appropriateness.
 
Student Volunteers are provided opportunities during the summer to work with children in small groups in a nurturing environment. The volunteers will help children with self-help skills, they will plan and bring activities that are age appropriate that gives them an opportunity to shown case their creative thinking and a chance to be leaders in their groups. They will also help the young ones with social emotional growth by providing and help them with problem solving skills.
They will also motivate children to be and do their best and at the same time work on their leadership in this community based environment . They will be assigned particular projects that they will have to  plan and implement with the children. They may be also assigned special one or one projects with children who may need special assistance.

MLW's flagship youth leadership development programs are our four residential summer programs: Middle School Experience in Leadership (Grades 6-8; 100 students served), Bridge (Grades 7-9) Senior High Workshops (Grades 9-12; 175 students served), and Advanced Leadership Seminar (Grades 10-rising college freshman; 25 students served). These week-long summer programs provide leadership training to secondary school students throughout the state of Maryland through a pedagogical model that involves three main components: education, investigation, and implementation. The foundation of the program is student participation in eleven interactive, experience-based workshops that teach concepts such as project management, advocacy, self-awareness, ethical decision making, leadership styles, and communication and presentation skills. Each student is then given multiple opportunities throughout the week to apply, both individually and in groups, the concepts they have learned. For instance, after completing the workshops, students are trusted with the planning, execution, and evaluation of specific projects such the week-long program's closing activities. Meanwhile, campers also work one-on-one with trained MLW staff members to identify and overcome their own leadership weaknesses while developing detailed at-home action plans to affect change in their schools and communities. As with any summer camp, there is also ample time built into the schedule for group games, social activities such as dances, and general recreation time that promotes an active lifestyle and encourages physical and mental development. Outreach Programs: In addition to our residential summer leadership development programs, MLW also contracts with schools, school systems, and other youth development organizations around the state to provide leadership instruction during the school year. While the outreach curriculum and programmatic activities are similar to those found in our core programs, MLW works to tailor each individual outreach program to its clients needs, resulting in central themes ranging from Diversity and Leadership to Project Management. Outreach programs range in length from one-day programs during school hours to residential, week-long programs on college campuses.

Our fundraising supports: Programs/supplies not in the school budget, including field trips Evening events for families School yearbooks Books and websites used in the classroom School assemblies Will joining the PTA require me to attend meetings and volunteer lots of hours? No! We are all busy parents with jobs and responsibilities. We encourage you to attend PTA meetings and volunteer at events, but neither of those is required. Every PTA meeting features information about what’s happening at school and provides some fun, too. We hope you can volunteer however you can—being involved shows your children that school is important and connects you to the school community. You’re helping just by being a PTA member.

Our Programs:
Body Love Yoga 
Body Love Yoga empowers young women to understand and trust their bodies and learn how to listen to their hearts. Our afterschool program for middle and high school young women (grades 6-12) builds a healthy sense of self, community, and belonging through yoga and art.
Expressive arts, journaling, guided discussion, breathing exercises and meditation techniques are used to support this work and empower young women with tools they can use during everyday situations at school, with family members and with friends.
Safe Space Yoga 
Safe Space Yoga provides specially trained yoga teachers to work with individuals who have histories of poverty, homelessness, trauma, and addiction, to offer yoga as a valuable tool in their healing. Yoga has been found to be a valuable tool in the healing process. Evidence shows that yoga helps with overall well-being, depression, and anxiety.
Yoga for Helpers
Yoga for Helpers focus on providing the helper with much needed focus and refueling.
We are excited to help guide other helpers through the process of grounding, connecting with themselves, and beginning to heal from the compounded secondary-trauma they experience on an ongoing basis.
Yoga for Grief
Yoga for Grief supports those who are grieving the loss of a loved one through creative expression and mind-body connection. Grief, like stress, is held in our bodies. Our Yoga for Grief series provides practical, evidence-based self-care techniques for emotional well-being during this difficult time. Through the practice of yoga you learn to listen to your body and develop a connection to the loved one you've lost.

Many skaters find that without a strong community, it is difficult for many to keep interest and motivation. Rise on Ice strives to ensure every skater feels included and involved by organizing events both on and off the ice. Student volunteers will participate in organizing social media posts and writing blogs about topics that will benefit the community.
The expenses of equipment, sessions, and lessons make it challenging for many to participate. We strive to give every aspiring skater a chance to fall in love with skating despite financial obstacles by organizing used equipment donations and free online tutorial videos. Student volunteers will participate in editing tutorial videos.
Guidance - Without proper guidance, many novice skaters are denied opportunities to expand their abilities. More often than not, they find themselves feeling discouraged and lost without direction. Rise on Ice seeks to give skaters of all ages and skill levels the best resources to improve. Student volunteers will organize online workshops to educate other skaters to stay healthy and strong both physically and emotionally.

This style of yoga is practiced by certified teacher Shri Sabnis whose motivation was to serve the community. Regular Shri yoga classes are free and include various asanas, breathing exercises, chakra vibration, mantra chanting, and relaxation techniques. Specific classes like Kids Yoga class and Meditation class are also conducted. The vision of Shri yoga is to provide everyone free opportunity to learn yoga techniques in a family friendly environment. The classes are held at community places and at homes of yoga members who are generous and enthusiastic hosts. Classes are offered for all levels and age groups in a comfortable informal setup. DUE TO COVID 2019, in person classes are suspended and instead virtual live classes are offered for free on zoom.
With Zoom Yoga Classes, our weekly classes have grown from 5-6 a week to almost 5-6 classes a day. We also have kids yoga classes, taught by qualified kids.

Our interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, social workers, health aides, chaplains, and trained volunteers work together to provide comfort and care to help families through this difficult time.
Holy Cross Health provides three options for caring for the terminally ill in our community: Hospice general inpatient level of care at Holy Cross Hospital, Silver Spring and Germantown, a comprehensive community-based program, and hospice care in nursing and rehabilitation centers.
&lt;img id="thisIcon" class="sm6generalwizard" style="border-width: 0px; margin-right: 8px; margin-left: 8px; float: right;" src="http://www.holycrosshealth.org/images/seniors/hospice.jpg" alt="Community based and In-hospital Hospice Care | Holy Cross Hospital | Silver Spring, Maryland" width="200" />Holy Cross Hospice community-based services emphasize the importance of maintaining patients in their home environment, whether that is their family home, assisted living facility, a group home or a nursing home. Home hospice care is available for Holy Cross Health patients, as well as anyone requiring hospice in the Montgomery County, Prince George's County and Howard County communities. 
Holy Cross Hospice first opened in 1967 and has a long history of service. It is state-licensed, CHAP accredited and was the first Medicare certified hospice in Montgomery County, MD. The Holy Cross Hospice interdisciplinary team works with patients, their families and physicians to create a plan of terminal illness support and end-of-life palliative care tailored to each person’s individual needs. This includes:

Skilled Nursing: Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses assess, evaluate and provide terminal illness care to patients with a variety of conditions. All of our nurses have special training in pain control and end-of-life symptom management.
Social Work: Medical social workers provide planning, counseling and support for patients and families to help them deal with social, emotional, financial and practical issues.
Personal Assistance: Certified nursing assistants help ensure safety for older adults and seriously ill patients by providing assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, light housekeeping, meal preparation and running errands. 
Spiritual Support: Spiritual Care representatives provide end-of-life spiritual care to our hospice patients and their families. Spiritual support is available for all religious affiliations.
General Support: Volunteers, specially trained in hospice, work with the professional staff to provide practical assistance, respite and support to patients and families.
Bereavement Support: Individual grief counseling for adults and children is available to family members and friends of loved ones cared for by our Hospice program. We also offer groups for adults in the community experiencing grief due to the loss of someone they love. In addition we offer community counseling services in school or the workplace after a traumatic event.

Our hospice staff is on-call 24/7. The team coordinates terminal illness care and makes routine visits to patients in the hospice care unit to be certain their physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs are met.

Through various events, mentorship programs, and fundraising, we connect musicians, guide students' musical journeys using personal experience, and work to make instrumental music more accessible.
Expose: MelodeeBee Music promotes musical interactions at an early age. Alongside developing new interests and discipline, studies have shown that starting music young also positively impacts a child’s brain connectivity and development. We organize musical events for elementary school students to get exposed to various instruments and types of music, sparking interests for future engagement, and providing information to help them start their musical journey.
Nurture: Young students often lack the information and guidance necessary when first starting an instrument which results in discouragement and loss of interest. Students find themselves overwhelmed with too many important decisions and not enough experience. MelodeeBee Music aims to combat this struggle by offering mentorship opportunities for students to build relationships with an experienced high school or college student. This mentorship is a mutually beneficial relationship that allows younger students to feel more prepared and motivated while building leadership in mentors.
Provide: Learning instrumental music has its hurdles due to its considerable financial commitments. Students who are unable to purchase an instrument face difficulty gaining access to an instrument, not to mention a musical education. Through donation drives and fundraising, we hope to make instruments more accessible to those without the same opportunities.

In 1862, Surgeon General William Hammond directed medical officers in the field to collect "specimens of morbid anatomy together with projectiles and foreign bodies removed" and to forward them to the newly founded museum for study. The Museum's first curator, John Brinton, visited mid-Atlantic battlefields and solicited contributions from doctors throughout the Union Army. During and after the war, Museum staff took pictures of wounded soldiers showing effects of gunshot wounds as well as results of amputations and other surgical procedures. The information collected was compiled into six volumes of The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion, published between 1870 and 1883. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Museum staff engaged in various types of medical research. They pioneered in photomicrographic techniques, established a library and cataloging system which later formed the basis for the National Library of Medicine, and led the Museum into research on infectious diseases while discovering the cause of yellow fever. They contributed to research on vaccinations for typhoid fever, and during World War I, Museum staff were involved in vaccinations and health education campaigns, including major efforts to combat sexually-transmissible diseases. By World War II, research at the Museum focused increasingly on pathology; in 1946 the Museum became a division of the new Army Institute of Pathology (AIP), which became the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) in 1949. The Museum's library and part of its archives were transferred to the National Library of Medicine when it was created in 1956. The Army Medical Museum became the Medical Museum of the AFIP in 1949, the Armed Forces Medical Museum in 1974, and the National Museum of Health and Medicine in 1989.</agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2022-08-01T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Gwen Nelmes</contact><phone>1-301-319-3312</phone><address>2500 Linden Lane</address><city>Silver Spring</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20910</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.medicalmuseum.mil</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=76516"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.053109974 39.008721997)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-zuzg.npsa.vrp9" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-2A16-8B42DBC01364" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-zuzg.npsa.vrp9"><agency_id>149666</agency_id><agency_name>Project Access Family Resource Center at The Gateway Apartments</agency_name><agency_description>Project Access services are provided at on-site Resource Centers at each individual community.

EVA/DC actively supports educational efforts including local high school and elementary school EV showcases and competitions, where students gain valuable hands on experience in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). With the increasing demand to showcase the technology, members are frequently called upon to display their cars at area schools, environmental fairs, automobile shows, parades and other public events. And it’s not unusual for a local EV driver to be stopped in public by curious onlookers for a peek under the hood – often accompanied by an impromptu question and answer session.

Community Bridges connects girls from low-income and immigrant families to their schools, families and community. We build these connections, "our bridges," with programming for girls and their families that includes after-school and out-of-school programs, college access and success, mentoring and support for families.
The Community Bridges Girls Program encourages girls in 4th through 12th grades to explore their identity and self-esteem and to build their character in a safe and nurturing space. Using a tested, grade-integrated curriculum girls in our CB Girls program develop leadership skills and personal responsibility through a variety of experiential and in-classroom learning opportunities. CB girls grow through an age-appropriate series of team building activities, group discussions and opportunities for creative expression. Weekly lessons focus on topics such as healthy relationships, cultural awareness, and leadership and goal setting. Program curricula and activities are devised so that girls acquire diverse tools and strategies for overcoming adversity and advocating for themselves and their peers. In addition, field trips, college tours and community service opportunities build girls' leadership capacity and help them to become college and/or career ready. The CB Girls program is unique; many programs for girls provide restricted services focused on areas such as health and nutrition or intervention services. These programs are often only provided for a limited grade spectrum, typically focusing on girls in either elementary or 8th through 12th grades. Community Bridges provides an integrated, holistic program for girls from elementary school through high school, with an approach that focuses on the whole girl rather than parts of the girl. In addition to the CB Girls Program, Community Bridges also offers our College Access and Success Program, our Mentoring Program and Family programming.
The College Access and Success program familiarizes and provides CB juniors and seniors with the processes and tools needed for their next steps after high school graduation. Each CB girls receives individualized counseling on college and career prospects, coaching through her application processes, opportunities to visit local college campuses, and the resources needed for her personal success in college and beyond.
The CB Mentoring Program offers a multi-tiered approach for connecting positive female role models with each CB girl. Our program recruits women from diverse work, economic and educational backgrounds to mentor high school girls.

Our 2 most effective techniques are through EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING and FACE TO FACE CONTACT, always emphasizing mindfulness and compassion. Experiential learning is done through setting up stations where mainstream kids (and adults) can experience first hand what it's like to have various differences in abilities. Face to Face contact with volunteers who have disabilities allows mainstream kids an opportunity to ask questions and interact directly with people with disabilities, without fear. We focus on common human experiences instead of just the differences between us. We're here to educate by embracing the qualities that unify us all, and to promote social inclusion to the point that it's effortless. We prioritize people with disabilities to be among the mentors in this program, modeling how much each and every one of us has to offer our community.

Annually, we offer seven new standards-based Challenges in STEM, Improv, Visual Arts, Service Learning, and Early Learning. Each Challenge is open-ended and enables student teams to learn and experience the creative process from imagination to innovation. Teams showcase their solutions at a progression of local and international tournaments across 48 states and 30 countries.
 
Volunteer Needs
Student Volunteers are needed each year on a short term basis to help at the local tournament in Montgomery County. Students complete a variety of tasks that may include: hanging signs, directing traffic in the hallways to ensure tournament participants can find events, delivering paperwork to adult volunteers throughout the building, moving small table and chairs to set up the classrooms.
Adult Volunteers are needed for short term commitments to help with local and state tournaments each spring. Volunteers may serve as appraisers to observe and provide feedback to participating youth teams and are also needed to staff check-in tables and concessions.  Adults with more time to give can serve as Team Managers working with a particular team throughout the school year as they develop their challenge solution.  Training is provided and teams may be organized through a variety of sponsoring organizations (schools, community organizations, and friends &amp; family based teams are all welcome).

We also have many fallen grave markers. Our goal is to utilize manual means to reset the smaller-sized stones with supervision. We host four events each year to place (and retrieve) flags at the graves of our 300+ veterans for Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. Having the help of volunteers will make these tasks more efficient and help to keep our enhancement goal on schedule.

Every day a person volunteers here translates into more families having the opportunity to create stability and independence.
A Wider Circle is an open and welcoming environment for everyone. We welcome volunteers who need to complete SSL hours, we welcome volunteers who need to complete court-ordered hours, and we welcome volunteers who are looking for episodic and long-term volunteer opportunities.
Adult Volunteers
Adult volunteers help us meet the needs of people living in poverty by serving in various roles including Personal Shoppers in our professional clothing showroom, Furniture Shopping Assistants, Administrative Assistants, Data Entry Assistants, Sorting and Restocking incoming donations and more.
High School Volunteers
Essential Support Program
This program focuses on providing basic needs items for the home to our neighbors seeking to rise out of poverty. The donations we receive include household furniture, linens, kitchen items, toys, and professional clothing and accessories. Volunteers help us to sort donations and stock the showrooms where our clients select their items. With the help of volunteers like you, A Wider Circle is able to furnish 10-20 homes free of charge each day for our neighbors in need. This is an SSL hour-approved opportunity for high school students. All volunteers under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult during their orientation, training, and volunteer service. Volunteer shifts are 3 hours long.
Heavy Lifter volunteers are also a part of our Essential Support program. They help our Inventory team unload donations from vehicles that pull up to our warehouse to drop off donations, help load furniture and other items into client vehicles, and take donated items (bags of clothing, boxes of toys, etc.) to the appropriate section in our warehouse. All volunteers are supervised by a member of our Inventory team and provided appropriate instructions and assistance at all times.

Our Day Program’s 1:5 ratio allows participants to benefit from activities that meet a wide range of interests, abilities, and therapeutic goals. Daily fitness activities and cognitive programs improve strength, balance, cardio health, mental functioning, and well-being. On-site physical and occupational therapy allow individuals to easily receive services without having to coordinate transportation.
ASSISTED LIVING
Winter Growth’s Memory Care and Assisted Living Homes share a common sense of energy and community. Residents enjoy private bedrooms; and experienced staff meet residents’ needs, with an awake night team adding a level of support not often available at other smaller homes. Residents also have daily access to a Registered Nurse and benefit from the on-site Day Program that offers an array of activities, including fitness and memory programs. Close friendships are common and a family atmosphere is apparent as staff, residents, and our wonderful volunteers care for and about each other.
RESPITE CARE
Hourly respite care, staffed with Certified Nursing Assistants and Medication Technicians, is offered throughout the week and on holidays. Meals and snacks are served in a social setting, and recreational activities such as movies, games, and conversations in the courtyard are provided. Overnight respite care is offered 7 days a week and is linked to our Assisted Living programs. Like residents, overnight respite guests enjoy private bedrooms, the benefits of an awake night staff, assistance with personal care needs, and medication administration.
Student SSL HOURS
Winter Growth provides the option of getting SSL hours, for students ages 16 and over. Certain SSL volunteer duties could include assistance with exercise programs. This includes playing physical games with our clients, and encouraging clients to exercise. A staff member would lead the exercise. Other options include helping with passing out meals/drinks, and cleaning up at the end. Certain administrative tasks include shredding papers and answering the phone. Winter Growth has a beautiful courtyard, a student can help with gardening in that area. If students enjoy playing games, they can participate in table top games. Such games include bingo, cards, scrabble, etc. This is a good time to interact with our clients.

This is a long time to be away or to divide a family. And, for children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having mom and dad close by for love and support. Our Ronald McDonald Houses provide a home for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost. Our Houses are built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child - not where they can afford to stay or where they will get their next meal. We believe that when a child is hospitalized the love and support of family is as powerful as the strongest medicine. Staying at our Houses improves adherence to needed treatment plans and allows better communication with the child's medical team. Over the last 36 years, stressed families have stayed more than 191,050 nights at our Houses.
RONALD McDONALD CARE MOBILE® PROGRAM: Keeping children healthy. Our KIDS Mobile Medical Clinic/Ronald McDonald Care Mobile (KMMC/RMCM) delivers free health care to children, ages birth to 21, living in underserved communities in the District of Columbia. These children are often at risk and have poor access to comprehensive pediatric medical services. The KMMC/RMCM, operated in association with MedStar Georgetown, provides high quality, cost-effective, family-centered medical care to these children regardless of financial means. The FITNESS (Fun in Teaching Nutrition and Exercise to Successful Students) Program is a new initiative of RMHC DC and MedStar Georgetown. Partnering with local schools in DC, MD and VA, this second mobile unit will deliver a curriculum focusing on healthy eating and the importance of physical activity to students in grades K-8.
RONALD McDONALD FAMILY ROOM: Supporting family-centered care. Our Ronald McDonald Family Rooms (RMFR) in the Hematology/Oncology unit at Children's National and at Inova Children's Hospital complement our partner hospitals family-centered approach to patient care. The Family Rooms provide families a place to regroup just steps from their child and make it easier for parents to actively participate in their child's treatment plan.</agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2018-10-03T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Bonnibelle Gregory</contact><phone>1-703-698-7080</phone><address>3727 14th St NE</address><city>Washington</city><state>DC</state><zip_code>20017</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.rmhcdc.org</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=76640"/><geo_location>POINT (-76.985842351 38.935937196)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-urs7~2isu.dj56" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-913E-FEF572BC1741" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-urs7~2isu.dj56"><agency_id>151817</agency_id><agency_name>Germantown Volunteer Fire Department</agency_name><agency_description>We are dedicated to education and safety in our community.

The foundation provides children with a variety of developmentally appropriate, hands-on, real-world experiences, play opportunities, and guidance from experienced caring adults. We are a childcare and educational model that works with partners across the state, county, and community to promote after school tutorials for K-12 grades, teacher education, and volunteer students. Children will be able to develop a positive self-image, feel safe, loved, and important, learn to respect and care for themselves, others, and their environment, and develop a true love of learning as a result of these experiences. We provide a community of support to help change students’ outcomes. We are a one-to-one mentoring organization that connects low-income students with mentors to support their college and career aspirations. We prepare high school students for college careers through professional skills development, providing networking opportunities. Making children happy and comfortable is our priority. The Happy Children Foundation's goal is to encourage each child's growth by combining academic and recreational activities in a balanced manner. Good support is essential, and we are focusing on helping children fulfill their goals. We want to partner with the recreation center to provide these children after school tutorials.

We also provide rehearsal and studio space at no or low cost to emerging puppeteers in the area as well as providing a meeting place for the National Capital Puppetry Guild. For over thirty years, the Puppet Co. has been an anchor cooperator in Glen Echo Park. We have entertained more than 2 million children from a myriad of community groups. We have developed one of the largest puppetry programs in the United States, and created a repertory of twenty-eight productions of classic children?s stories and original pieces. In the development of that repertory we have also engendered an enormous cache of intellectual properties with items ranging from character and scene designs to songs and full musical scores. Now we want to step outside of the ?box? of Glen Echo Park and our Playhouse and put those intellectual properties to work. We envision Whimsey Woods, a Story Book Park for young children developed in the mold of those created in the 1950?s and 60?s in the wake of the opening of Disneyland. We want to stress, however, that Whimsey Woods is an addition to our Glen Echo program and in no way signals our departure from Glen Echo Park.</agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2018-10-25T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Allan Stevens</contact><phone>1-301-634-5380</phone><address>7300 MacArthur Blvd.</address><city>Glen Echo</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20812</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.thepuppetco.org</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=76798"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.139091034 38.965622)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-d2g6_umak_fbcg" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-90AF-21EB272FD15D" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-d2g6_umak_fbcg"><agency_id>137638</agency_id><agency_name>G-Town (Germantown) Sport Association</agency_name><agency_description>Our volunteers coach cheer and coach football.

Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is a congressionally chartered, federally supported non-profit corporation that serves as the official civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force (USAF). CAP is a volunteer organization with an aviation-minded membership that includes people from all backgrounds, lifestyles, and occupations. It performs three congressionally assigned key missions: emergency services, which includes search and rescue (by air and ground) and disaster relief operations; aerospace education for youth and the general public; and cadet programs for teenage youth. In addition, CAP has recently been tasked with homeland security and courier service missions. CAP also performs non-auxiliary missions for various governmental and private agencies, such as local law enforcement and the American Red Cross. The program is established as an organization by Title 10 of the United States Code[5] and its purposes defined by Title 36.[6] Membership in the organization consists of cadets ranging from 12 to just under 21 years of age, and senior members 18 years of age and up. These two groups each have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of pursuits; the cadet program contributes to the development of the former group with a structured syllabus and an organization based upon United States Air Force ranks and pay grades, while the older members serve as instructors, supervisors, and operators. All members wear uniforms while performing their duties. Nationwide, CAP is a major operator of single-engine general aviation aircraft, used in the execution of its various missions, including orientation flights for cadets and the provision of significant emergency services capabilities. Because of these extensive flying opportunities, many CAP members become licensed pilots.

Events are held every Saturday morning at 9:00am. Kensington parkrun starts and finishes at Cedar Ln and Beach Dr on Rock Creek Trail. After the event is over, participants and volunteers have the chance (optional) to gather at La Gelatteria for  beverages, snacks, and socializing. Lots of additional information is available at our website, parkrun.us/kensington. A free one-time registration at http://www.parkrun.us/register/ will provide you with a barcode that you can use at any of the 2000+ parkruns world-wide. parkrun occurs solely because of the generosity of volunteers.
Volunteer activities last about 2 hours and include tasks such as handing out our finisher tokens, operating smartphone-based stopwatches and scanners, taking photographs, and directing participants at turnaround locations.  
We have a loose progression of volunteer roles for the MCPS student seeking SSL hours, and that includes encouraging the student to complete a parkrun as a participant at some point to understand how our system works.  Parents and guardians often participate by running, jogging, or walking while their student is volunteering - many of our regulars started out by accompanying their student to parkrun.
If you would like more information or would like to volunteer, you MUST email us directly at kensington@parkrun.com. In your email, identify yourself as an SSL volunteer. We cannot guarantee a response if you use the MCVC system to contact us.

To this end, teachers and volunteers are encouraged to design experiences to broaden and deepen children's use of the ideas they are developing naturally and are expected to be positive role models within this philosophy and to provide experiences that will initiate the child's thinking and aid each child in developing respect for others, a sense of responsibility, self-discipline, and independent learning.

Respect and Human Dignity. All those associated with Jubilee recognize the basic humanity of all people and treat them equally and with the utmost respect, regardless of their level of disability or role in relationship to the agency.

Justice. Jubilee seeks not only to meet, but to exceed, minimum legal and regulatory requirements. We actively support justice on behalf of the people we serve and are committed to serving people across the racial and economic spectrum.
Diversity. Jubilee believes that the very act of coming together as a diverse faith community working to support and improve the lives of people with developmental disabilities celebrates and honors the traditions and faiths of all those who join the effort.

Stewardship: Manage the county park system to meet needs of current and future generations.
Recreation: Offer leisure activities that strengthen the body, sharpen the mind, and renew the spirit.
Excellence: Deliver high quality products, services, and experiences.
Integrity: Operate with a honest and balanced perspective.
Service: Be courteous, helpful, and accessible internally and externally.
Education: Promote learning opportunities.
Collaboration: Work with residents, communities, public and private organizations, and policymakers.
Diversity: Support and embrace cultural differences and offer suitable programs, activities, and services.
Dedication: Commit to getting the job done the right way, no matter what it takes

All Ages (depending on the volunteer activity) plus Student Volunteers help us demonstrate these values by assisting Montgomery Parks at special events by educating park guests about the environment through crafts and demonstrations; helping them have a good time outdoors; engaging guests in an outgoing manner; helping with setting up and taking down the event; and working well with others.  Students can also help us build trails, remove litter from parks and streams, get rid of non-native invasive plants.  They can also assist as camp counselors; ice skating assistants; nature center animal care aides and with archaeological digs.  Student volunteers help parks in millions of ways!

From the moment a refugee arrives at the airport, our staff is at the gate to welcome, provide guidance, encouragement, and other support services. While each family’s story is different, their collective dreams are the same: to rebuild their lives in the U.S. and regain a sense of security after years of uncertainty and turmoil. We support our clients during this important transition by mobilizing community partners and offering a comprehensive range of services to newcomers including refugee assistance, employment training and immigration services throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
Volunteers help make our work possible in the community by working directly with refugee families (e.g., family and youth mentors, tutors, and employment coaches) or alongside our teams (e.g., in areas of administrative support, employment services, and advocacy).
Student volunteers are welcome to receive SSL hours on a limited ad hoc basis through in-person group activities or projects supervised by an LSS staff member. Examples could include organizing in-kind donations in storage or volunteering during World Refugee Day activities on site.

Our mission is to protect every child’s right to grow up free from the threat of sexual exploitation and trafficking. We do this work through legislative advocacy, private sector engagement, youth education, and community education which are described below:
Legislative Advocacy: With ECPAT-USA’s deep expertise, we partner with government, survivors, and advocates to ensure that legislation is comprehensive, proactive, and victim-centered.
Private Sector Engagement: Members of the hospitality and tourism industry are uniquely positioned to help prevent trafficking and protect children. Because of this, ECPAT-USA creates up-to-date standards and training tools to recognize trafficking and follow proper protocols. These tools are used across the country by hotel industry and travel professionals.
Youth Education: The Youth Against Child Trafficking (Y-ACT) program empowers students to be the voices in their communities advocating against sexual exploitation. ECPAT-USA leads workshops and guided conversations, where middle school and high school students learn about the reality of child sexual exploitation in their communities, how they can protect themselves, and what they can do to raise awareness about the issue.
Community Education and Public Awareness: ECPAT-USA believes that preventing child sexual exploitation begins with community education and engagement. Accordingly, ECPAT-USA leads programs, events, and initiatives to inform communities about this human rights crisis. By educating ordinary citizens, they can join ECPAT-USA in the fight to better protect children.

YOUTH ART FOR HEALING PARTNERS AND WORKS CLOSELY WITH HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS AND SCHOOLS, AND NURTURES THE CREATIVITY AND EMPATHY OF STUDENTS WHO CREATE HEALING WORKS OF ART FOR PERMANENT INSTALLATIONS IN HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS. PHASE I Youth Art For Healing partners with healthcare organizations to select artwork locations and brainstorm content, measurements, themes and the total number of works of art. Project lists of artworks are developed in collaboration with our healthcare partners. After projects are reviewed and approved by our healthcare partners, an agreement is signed. YAFH distributes project lists to art coordinators in school districts in the Washington Metropolitan Area. PHASE II Art teachers contact YAFH with interest in participating with their students in our program. Projects are assigned to art teachers in September for completion by their students in March. A presentation provided by YAFH for art teachers and their students, covers the following: Youth Art For Healing’s mission The nature of healing art Power of art to inspire, comfort and heal The healthcare organizations requesting works of art Benefits of bringing the arts into healthcare environments Project details (healthcare location, medium, theme, content, measurements and total number of artworks). YAFH provides students with canvases, brushes, and paints (for some schools, these resources are rare). YAFH Art Advisors oversee and critique sketches and works of art to expand students' artistic development and enhance the final product, encourage compassion and empathy, and promote community giving. Students complete their works of art and provide artist statements about the meaning and inspiration behind their art and how this experience has made a difference in their lives. PHASE III An Art Show is hosted by YAFH for students, families, art teachers, school staff, YAFH partners, donors and supporters to view the works of art and celebrate the students. The students’ works of art are promoted through media and other social media platforms. YAFH delivers the students' works of art to our healthcare partners and assists with installation. YAFH depends on the generosity of individuals, charitable organizations, government agencies, and corporations to accomplish its mission.

Our supervisor will initiate and host all virtual sessions. If our supervisor is not available to initiate and host the virtual session, the session will not occur.
Virtual sessions will not be recorded.
Tutors should not share or upload any videos, pictures, or images of themselves, unless we have obtained a signed form/waiver from the student’s parent/guardian authorizing permission/release.
Students' email addresses/home addresses or any personally identifying information will remain protected and not shared.
SSL hours will be earned on a hour-for-hour basis depending on the amount of time tutors spend tutoring, conducting outreach, or creating lessons under supervision.

Daily activities, whether academic, therapeutic, artistic or physical, are connected as part of thematic units. This integrated approach allows Diener students to see meaning and purpose in each and every activity. The students will feel stimulated and confident as their learning allows them to make connections, generalize information and apply their skills inside and outside of our classroom walls. As such, The Diener School created "Peer Buddies," a program that allows students to use the social skills and pragmatics encouraged in the classroom to create, build and sustain relationships with students from neighboring schools. In addition, our bi-weekly thematic based field trips offer students an opportunity to learn experimentally and integrate into the community. The Diener School believes that teaching values and building character is integral to its program. Therefore, virtues, positive reinforcement, community responsibility and outreach are part of the Diener day. Many students partake in a school "contract" enabling them to earn positive incentives for hard work and appropriate behavior. As a vehicle for learning, understanding and developing empathy as well as understanding the gifts of giving and thinking responsibly, Diener students conduct "hands-on" community projects and are encouraged with positive incentives for hard work and appropriate behavior. The Diener School believes in the mind-body connection. In furtherance of the connection between movement and learning, the Diener day includes daily sensory exploration, movement breaks, brain-gym exercises, physical education with fitness experts, and after school sports.

This year we are incorporating social distancing measures which will require even more volunteers to help us.

We always come up with fun, active projects that enhance the beauty of campus and engage you with nature and your fellow volunteers. Kneeling, bending, and lifting are often required during the volunteer projects.
 Our volunteers come from a variety of places--service organizations, fraternities and sororities, academic departments, university alumni organizations, and local high schools. No matter what your background, the Arboretum &amp; Botanical Garden wants to benefit from your hard work. We host both large- and small-scale projects and can customize the perfect project for you.

Capitol Area Telugu Society (CATS) is a non-profit organization devoted to the awareness and promotion of Telugu culture in the Washington D.C. Metro Area. It has been granted a non-profit organization status by Department of Treasury and any donations provided to CATS are 100% tax deductible. Formed in 2005, it intends to be the best amongst the Indo-American organizations.


CATS was formed primarily to provide a choice for Telugus and to expand on services provided to Telugus in the Capitol Area. CATS will be providing new services in several areas. CATS will be active and contribute back to communities we live in through


* Volunteering and Charitable activities
* Professional Development
* Business Development
* Linking youth to the Telugu owned businesses via internships and mentorship`s, a long overdue service that our community needs.
* Participation in the local, regional, and national social, cultural, and sports activities


Also, CATS is bringing forth a novel idea by providing a platform to anyone in the community to bring forward a new idea in the interest of the community to be fully developed into a project (a small idea or a big one). This allows the organization to be very open by serving as an “incubator” for great ideas.


Finally, CATS is an innovator when it comes to new ideas and is designed to be the “next-generation” type of organization. For example, there is strong emphasis to include our youth in the operational aspects of the organization

BC4F has monthly deliveries to our partner charities. Every month, BC4F will email you about the date of our delivery and how many cakes you would like to donate. To subscribe, go to bc4f.org/newsletter.
The decoration/flavor/design of your cake(s) is up to you! BC4F would prefer if you could write “Happy Birthday!” on your cake(s). You can make a cake from a cake mix or your favorite recipe. Round, square or rectangle cakes  are all ok as long as they are individually and securely boxed, with lids taped for transport.  ALL decorations MUST be edible.

Our Italian Language Program, founded in 1974 offers language courses at all levels for both adults and children in four semesters throughout the year, including Summer Camps.

Volunteers can help supervise and coordinate little kids during play activities, workshops, and annual events like the Easter Egg Hunt. They can also help prepare art and craft materials, assist teachers during small children's classes, and walk them to the restroom when needed.

Candidates for the Student Volunteer Program must have a positive attitude and a strong work ethic. The schedule will vary weekly, based on the number of projects to be completed. The time commitment can range from four to eight hours per week, with a minimum of 20 hours completed per term. Service hours will be documented and may be submitted for school-based community service credits.

Simultaneously, the youths? parents and key family members are provided a host of supports and opportunities to engage in their child?s academic progress. Our school- and community-based programs are infused with technology to build 21st century skills, and supported by nonprofit and corporate partnerships to augment the resources we cannot provide alone. This approach, combined with strong school-day partnerships and a heavy emphasis on data analysis and outcomes, brings about strong and sustained results for children in our city. Our Goals: 1. Improve math and reading performance 2. Improve school success and social skills 3. Improve identification of personal talents and careers 4. Increase parents? introduction of math and reading activities at home 5. Increase parent engagement in school activities 6. Increase parent engagement in support services Target Population: ? Title 1- eligible DC public and public charter schools ? All 1st to 5th graders in public schools ? 6th to 8th grade Fishing School continuing students ? Parents of Fishing School program students Innovation and What We Know Works Over the years, our focus on academic achievement has yielded strong outcomes for children. In November 2013, our programs were ranked first in Math and second in Reading outcomes for youth, out of 24 programs funded by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), as determined by an independent evaluator. In 2011-12, 57% of elementary and 45% of middle grades students in our program improved in Math, and in 2012-13, 66% of teachers reported that our middle grades participants improved their homework completion. During 2012-13, an average of 61% of participants in our program improved in Math and 53% improved in Reading. Our innovative Cohort Model program design provides intensive, extended intervention through after school and summer camp programs for the same group of participants and their parents/guardians from 1st through 8th grades. We use evidence-based curricula; hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math)-based activities; life skills; in-person and virtual support to middle school students; and expanded engagement of parents as stakeholders in student success.

We have a curriculum designed that teaches about what these animals are and are not. This initiative also provides drop spindles and bags of fiber for people to learn how to make yarn from alpaca fiber. Volunteers become ambassadors for the alpacas, and help with the curriculum presentation and the spinning. 2) Work together to grow vegetables and grains for the local non-profits who focus on increasing food security in Montgomery County. We are in the process of getting a community garden going that has a focus on regenerative agriculture education, and a social benefit aspect of reducing food insecurity. Volunteers in this program will learn how to weed, plant, water, grow, and harvest what is needed by the specific non-profits for their clients. The importance of culture and food will be discussed, as well as what that means to what is grown and donated.

Our programs have purpose, and groups of students are small, to ensure that the community service experience is a good one. In addition, we welcome all students but focus particularly on international students to help them better understand, appreciate, and benefit from their community service. Some student participants may be ESOL students that may require careful explanation of the activity at hand. Other students may have stronger English language proficiency, but may still benefit from an explanation of the cultural context of their service.
Our goal is to connect the Washington, D.C. area international community to the local community--and in so doing to build a better shared life together.
WCIE partners with and holds volunteer orientations at English Now!, a private English language school in downtown Bethesda.
If you are would like to join us for a volunteer opportunity, please make sure to include your email and CELLPHONE NUMBER. If you are a student, please also include your school and grade level.

We give a very special gift and we get an even more special one in return, just by spending time with the people we visit.</agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2023-11-03T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Robin Wiley</contact><phone>+18777358069</phone><address>Locations Throughout The DC Metro Area</address><city>Montgomery County</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20001</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.holidayproject.net</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=76785"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.2040315 39.136368265)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-r3t7_3scg_d2z9" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-EA24-F52C2090104D" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-r3t7_3scg_d2z9"><agency_id>120917</agency_id><agency_name>National Institutes of Health (NIH)</agency_name><agency_description>We are are research hospital for the United States</agency_description><date_added>2021-03-24T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2021-03-24T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>April D Brundidge</contact><phone>1-301-542-2823</phone><address>9000 Rockville Pike</address><address2>Building 10 Room N318</address2><city>Bethesda</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20892</zip_code><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=120917"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.102828993 39.003647007)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-iu6m.jdg6~24rj" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-9319-0E852A566AAF" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-iu6m.jdg6~24rj"><agency_id>108326</agency_id><agency_name>Next Generation Arts Council, Inc.</agency_name><agency_description>Arts Education and Youth Theater - Kids ages 10-18 learn all aspects of mounting a theatrical production (backstage crew, costumes, marketing the production, directing and choreographing, and so forth).

ACSGW is a nonreligious nonprofit organization whose mission is to help the less fortunate in our community by empowering them through compassionate emergency care, life education and community development. ACSGW currently provides case management, food, clothing, emergency financial assistance, community health programs, and training, such as English as a second language (ESOL), general educational development (GED), computer basics, and other job training. ACSGW currently serves over 6000 disadvantaged families each year. Of those families served, many members are employable, yet unemployed or underemployed. ACSGW has been serving this population for over 30 years, and over the past four years has been growing programs that empower participants to attain long-term solutions to their general and economic health and well-being. ACSGW believes that empowering the individual by giving people the knowledge and ability to attain self- sufficiency creates healthy, thriving communities. One of the first steps in that process is for a community to decide on the shared goals and actions they are going to take together to create the kind of community that fulfills its shared vision. With this need in mind, ACSGW participated in a community-wide strategic planning effort in 2012. ACSGW traditionally serves, among other groups, clients within the ZIP codes 20910 and 20912. During the case management interviews of clients from those ZIP-code areas, contact information is collected from each client (or client family). All client information at ACSGW is entered into, and maintained in an electronic database. Student Service Learning (SSL) opportunities include data input, filing, newsletter preparation and mailings, computer repair, teaching assistance, social media content creation and postings and audio/video production.

Dancers 10 years old and up enrolled in Level 3 and higher are eligible to volunteer as Student Helpers in our lower level classes to keep the classes organized and to run smoothly.
Helpers may assist with the warm-up, demonstrate combinations at barre and centre, assist in putting students into lines for centre work, help keep order as the dancers go across the floor or escort young dancers to and from the restroom, etc. Helpers will learn the basics of classroom management and will observe firsthand how to teach dance to children ages 5-9 which includes students who are a part of our JumpStart outreach program.
Being a Student Helper is a (school) yearlong commitment. For Introductory Division, classes run from September until the week prior to Memorial Day weekend in May while Level 1 &amp; 2 classes will run until the last day of our school year in June. Music &amp; Motion, our program for students with physical disabilities, runs in two sessions: the fall is 10 weeks (Sep-Nov) and the spring 14 weeks (Jan-Apr).
For those students interested in helping in the Music &amp; Motion classes, priority is given to those students in Levels 6-8; however, if you are at least 14 years old and interested in assisting, please contact us at info@marylandyouthballet.org
Dancers are also able to participate in performances for the community throughout the year. Our two main performance opportunities are the  Mini Nut and Nutcracker which occur in December, open to dancers in Levels 3-8, and the Spring Concert for Upper School dancers which is generally in April or May.
Adults who are part of the MYB community are also welcome to volunteer to help with performances and special events. Email info@marylandyouthballet.org for more information.

We organize large community service activities throughout the year in which volunteers of all ages can show their support for local families with children who have complex medical conditions.
This Is How We C.A.R.E.


Connect: We connect to families where they are through our Eliana’s Light Constellation Kits, learning events, tip sheets, and communications channels. We also connect families to resources, specialists, other organizations, and information that can help reduce their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and/or financial stress. We build trusting, compassionate relationships with them through our shared humanity while we develop “Constellations of C.A.R.E.” through the collaborative community service activities we organize.


Advocate: We advocate for Integrative Medicine (IM) and integrative care services within pediatric medical facilities and as part of standard medical care, therapy programming and research initiatives. For example, we collaborate with hospital staff and with physical, occupational, feeding, and speech/language therapists on ways to incorporate mindfulness and integrative care services into their programming.


Raise Awareness: We raise awareness on whole health and related programming, approaches and strategies that help reduce stress, anxiety, pain, and fear, especially in regard to medical care and treatments.


Exchange: We serve on various advisory committees and manage one directly in order to exchange information and resources with local specialists in areas relevant to our mission.


We C.A.R.E. alongside collaborators, together forming Constellations of CA.R.E. in a community for families with children who have complex medical conditions. We accompany families for as long as they'd like to stay connected to Eliana's Light. When the family's needs change, we help guide them to other support services that are relevant to their new needs. We do not provide technical expertise directly; we instead help connect caregivers to experts who are part of Constellations of C.A.R.E. within our communities.</agency_description><date_added>2020-01-30T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2023-04-20T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Whitney Ortiz</contact><phone>+17038996129</phone><address>5347 28th St NW</address><city>Washington</city><state>DC</state><zip_code>20015</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.elianaslight.org</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=109340"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.057222555 38.960005706)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-gkza~tke5_eduj" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-20D1-BF2980D5D3DA" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-gkza~tke5_eduj"><agency_id>87979</agency_id><agency_name>Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints</agency_name><agency_description>We are a church organization and engage in many community service activities.

We have many volunteer roles available on race day (Sunday) as well as Saturday. Volunteers help keep our racers safe and on course to the finish line.  Sign up to help kids tie their shoes in transition, fit bike helmets, document the event with our social media team or serve as the run course rabbit, to name just a few. Volunteers are needed roughly 6:30am - 11am on race day but, it varies by role.   You can learn more about the various volunteer roles HERE.

We are always in need of student and adult volunteers for the following jobs:

Coaches (must be 18 or older to assist, 21 or older to head coach)
Field Maintenance - Perfect for Middle Schoolers and above. Help line fields, rake and repair infields after games, remove refuse and recyclables.

Specialized trades (electricians, carpenters, masons, landscaping professionals) - we occasionally have maintenance needs to repair or update scoreboards, PA equipment, trim trees, etc. Your professional skills are always welcome. 

At the beginning and end of every season (spring and fall), we have cleanup days that offer multiple hour opportunities to spruce up the grounds, set up or take down batting cage nets, remove tree branches and debris from the walkways and perform minor maintenance jobs. Those opportunities will be posted as they are scheduled.

ODs only need a phone. Food drivers need a car and driver's license as well as a phone. Both are scheduled for a day and are responsible for taking care of the calls and requests on that day, though they don't have to be available the whole day. Drivers can volunteer alone or with a family member or friend (makes packing and carrying bags faster). We are a small organization and our volunteers are people who get involved long-term, and work independently on a schedule that works for them. We do not have short hourly shifts. We cannot accommodate children (under 18) volunteering without a parent or guardian. </agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2024-03-01T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Aniko Albert</contact><phone>+13015640800</phone><address>P.O.

The Damascus Heritage Society maintains a small museum on the grounds of the Damascus Public Library/Senior Center.  Exhibits are rotated every four months.  The museum is open Wednesday &amp; Saturday, noon - 4PM and needs docents to assist visitors.  We also produce a quarterly newsletter and hold special events and occasionally need volunteer assistance for these activities.  High school and adult volunteers are needed throughout the year.
Docents greet visitors, explain purpose of exhibit, answer questions about exhibit and history of the area, hand out literature.  On closing, bring in signs, review exhibit for problems and report to proper person, vacuum as needed.  </agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2022-07-11T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>Yes</mcps_ssl><contact>Pat Williams</contact><phone>1-301-972-5020</phone><address>9701 Main Street</address><city>Damascus</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20872</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.dhsm.org</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=76112"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.200754013 39.287964012)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-5hbd-2srr~s52q" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-0651-0698DDFFDB97" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-5hbd-2srr~s52q"><agency_id>76577</agency_id><agency_name>PetConnect Rescue, Inc.</agency_name><agency_description>PetConnect Rescue is an animal welfare organization dedicated to saving dogs and cats at high risk of euthanasia.

Since 2019, we have evolved to include different types of community service and outreach programs. In addition to offering STEM tutoring, we also organize career panels to help educate youth about the various career opportunities, create apps to promote education and mental wellness for K-12 students, and engage in research on educational topics.
More specifically, volunteers can choose to participate in one of the following programs:
1. Online tutoring/class (until the end of the 2021-2022 school year): Volunteers will either be matched 1-on-1 to tutor K-12 students or will be put in an introductory class for various subjects, including math (Algebra I and beyond), computer science, biology, and chemistry to help students solidify their knowledge. The goal is for the volunteers to apply their school knowledge in a real life setting by helping those who are struggling academically.
2. Career panel: We believe that even during these unprecedented times, students can still find ways to learn about their future and set appropriate career goals. Our student volunteers work in groups to find experts in the field of their choice (computer science, medicine, aviation, food, etc) to talk about their professions, which will in turn help the audience learn more about the industry as well as providing a forum to ask questions.
3. Innovator: This is a project-based program designed for students to use their creativity and technical skills to create meaningful change in their communities. Working in teams, student volunteers will work in the developers or curriculum design team to create a mobile application for the Standards of Learning (SOL) test preparation called SOLve or a mental health initiative called vCare.

It also sponsors a Holiday Market the first Sunday in December. Any customer who is unemployed or who has suffered financial setbacks is given vouchers that will double the amount of fresh produce s/he buys. In other words, if a customer in need pays for $10 worth of fresh produce, they would be able to receive $20 worth instead. The Market reimburses the farmer for the amount the customer did not pay. We also use donations to support educational programs in our Children's Tent. We buy fresh produce every Sunday for the tent, so that children can not only learn and taste it, they also use the produce to make collages. Some funds go towards supplying books and educational puzzles. The Market also uses the money to sponsor a Children's Day. The activities provided on that Day include having a nutritionist take the children shopping around the Market; and then teaching them on how to use that produce to make their own healthy lunches. Some customers who come to the Market have been so much in need that sometimes, we simply take them shopping to the farmers ourselves and foot the bill, using funds received from our fundraisers and from other donations. The Market provides space to non-profit community organizations ? and provides the necessary matériels (e.g., tents, tables, chairs). Some of the non-profits which participated in 2013 include representatives from the non-profit Jeremy's Run (which raises money to help teens struggling with drug addiction), the Race for the Cure, and Relay for Life. Olney Home for Life has also sent representatives to inform our customers of the services it provides (e.g., helping seniors to remain in their homes, instead of having to move into assisted living). The Washington Area Rescue League, the Boys and Girls Club of Olney, and the local Boy Scout troop have also been at many of our Market days. Manna Food Center, the local food bank, is also represented each week. Their volunteers assist in collecting tens of thousands of pounds of fresh produce that are sent directly to the food bank; for distribution to hungry citizens in Montgomery County, Maryland. We also use funds to support homemakers, who are trying to start businesses. As long as the local health department approves, we allow these homemakers to sell brownies, cookies and certain cakes from one of our tents. We also supply the tables and the health department set-up. We use funds for our chef's tent, where we offer healthy recipes and hands-on learning for our community. Some of the foremost chefs in our area have donated their time (and will continue to do so) to prepare healthy dishes made from produce provided by the Market farmers. Recipes are then made available to the public via the Market website. Funds are also available for fitness activities in our ?Be Fit, Be Well? tent. We ask fitness and health experts from the DC metropolitan area to donate a few hours of their time to showing our community how to become healthier. These activities have included yoga, zumba, acupuncture, jump-roping and similar kinds of other exercises. The Market has guidelines in place to ensure that funds that are raised go toward family and helping the neediest members of the community. Our board members interview representatives for every community organization that applies for a community tent, before accepting them. One way that OFAM promotes family and community togetherness is by providing tables and chairs for customers who want to relax at the Market and listen to the music, enjoy food purchased from our vendors, and watch our chef demonstrations. In addition, we set up umbrellas on the hottest days of summer for our customers, to provide some relief from the sun, especially for those customers without air conditioning in their homes. Cooling tents and water sprinklers are also provided by the Market. In addition, we are community partners with GrowingSoul (Sustainable Opportunities for Universal Learning), which is is dedicated to educating the public about the vital role of human interdependence and reciprocity in developing and promoting a ZERO WASTE sustainable food system.

State of Scientific Investment. Five 2006 Nobel laureates testified about scientific research and enterprise in the U.S., the importance of investment in science and discoveries made as the result of funding applied research. From Foreground: George F. Smoot, Physics; John C. Mather, Physics; Craig C. Mello, Medicine; Andrew Z. Fire, Medicine; Roger D. Kornberg, Chemistry. C-SPAN2
More Americans will accept the US Government's appropriation of tax dollars for research. Also, more Americans will be aware of the US National Medals for Science and Technology Innovation.
NIH, National Institutes of Health Nobel Laureates
From around the world, Nobel Laureates who have received National Institutes of Health grants prior to their being awarded the Nobel Prize are known as NIH Nobel Laureates. They have been awarded the prize in the categories of Physiology or Medicine, Chemistry, Physics and Economic Sciences. To date, innumerable NIH supported researchers have been sole or shared recipients of Nobel Prizes. Among these are individuals who have served as NIH staff scientists.
Federal Laboratory Nobel Laureates
Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been awarded annually to brilliant minds worldwide for their achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace. Many of those brilliant minds who are working to make the U.S. and countries abroad more advanced are employed by our federal laboratory system.
Department Of Energy Nobel Laureates. The Nobel Laureates associated with Department Of Energy serve as a proud testimony to both the high quality and the impact of the research underwritten by or associated with the Department.



Thought Process of Nobelists - Simple Analogy


David Sweat and Police Officer. Drawing: Brittney Jernstrom
Richard Matt and David Sweat, convicted murderers, escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York in 2015. Richard Matt was shot dead; David Sweat was shot and captured. Sweat claimed that when the police were searching for him, at one point, he had climbed a tree and he was hiding in a hunting tree stand when an officer walked right past him on the ground.
Generally, when looking for a person outdoors, people look in front of them, on their sides, behind themselves, on the ground and sometimes underground.
In science, many scientists do something similar.
Science Nobelists wonder, "Is it up in the air?" They look up and make a great discovery!
The search cost nearly $1 million per day for 23-days to the New York state police and corrections department. 1,100 law enforcement officers searched heavily forested 75 square miles, about the size of Brooklyn, NY. Other searchers were Vermont police [additionally cost $84,880], U.S. Marshals Service, FBI and local police agencies. "Not a single member of the public or law enforcement was harmed."

We will pair older, successful students with underachieving ones to encourage academic growth and ensure a sustaining environment so that success is measured and not just imagined. Our Mentors will not only act as tutors for the younger children, but as a resource outside of the academic environment and liaisons to Montgomery County and the vast resources they provide to underprivileged children. We hope that by opening the door to organized sports leagues and arts and science programs, while teaching productive study habits and providing positive role models, students enrolled with TFAN will flourish both in and out of the classroom. Tutor For America Now constantly strives to help kids become productive and independent learners, as well as grow into healthy and engaged members of our community. We want to make education accessible to all children, but we know that this requires more work than can simply be done by a classroom with a teacher. Our volunteers work to provide the necessary support to complement the work of our public school system.

Our programs are developed in direct response to community need. In a global view, ADUD understands that for all of the reasons, whether it be for the pursuit of increased economic and civil stability, for increased health well-being, or if it is to embark on a new job or join a loved one, the African Diaspora target community in this 21st Century, consists of people of African origin living outside their country of origin, irrespective of their current citizenship and nationality, who are willing to contribute to the development of Africa, starting with their local community. Our Core Values Through our principal pillars Help, Educate, Lead, and Promote Philanthropy (H.E.L.P.), we assist our local diaspora communities by connecting people to resources here and abroad by offering specialized educational programs and projects, by offering various workshops on awareness of community needs and integration, healthy living, etc. and other educational trainings, coordinating social and professional networking events, and providing organized opportunities to give back to our local communities and our countries. </agency_description><date_added>2017-09-08T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2020-05-25T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Juve Lima</contact><phone>1-240-217-8418</phone><address>Halpine RD</address><city>N Bethesda</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20852</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.adud.org</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=77620"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.124819466 39.061415931)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-539g-wh8n_g29f" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-316B-5A17E5D9C6B0" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-539g-wh8n_g29f"><agency_id>76891</agency_id><agency_name>Wolf Trap National Park For The Performing Arts</agency_name><agency_description>Almost 500,000 people visit Wolf Trap annually to attend performances at the world-renown Filene Center, the intimate Children's Theater in the Woods, and to enjoy these programs in the natural beauty of the park.

Founded on Dec. 1, 1941, to mobilize the nation's civilian aviation resources for national defense service, CAP has evolved into a premier public service organization that still carries out emergency service missions when needed — in the air and on the ground. As a Total Force partner and Auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, Civil Air Patrol is there to search for and find the lost, provide comfort in times of disaster and work to keep the homeland safe. Its 60,000 members selflessly devote their time, energy and expertise toward the well-being of their communities, while also promoting aviation and related fields through aerospace/STEM education and helping shape future leaders through CAP’s cadet program. Civil Air Patrol’s missions for America are many, and today’s adults and cadets perform their duties with the same vigilance as its founding members — preserving CAP’s 75-year legacy of service while maintaining its commitment to nearly 1,500 communities nationwide. Mission Statement Supporting America's communities with emergency response, diverse aviation and ground services, youth development and promotion of air, space and cyber power. Vision Statement Civil Air Patrol, America's Air Force auxiliary, building the nation's finest force of citizen volunteers serving America.

The Bernie House moves abused families out of shelters and places them in a safe home without violence for up to two years. Providing a longer-term solution to a life-threatening problem is crucial to a family’s survival and success. TBH complements existing programs and allows families the necessary time: to heal and build confidence: to build important support structures; for victims to go to school, secure a job, and become economically stable; to achieve a safe and healthy return to their community.

The Camp Fire is committed to training youth development professionals, supporting quality programs, and sustaining them for the long term through organizational effectiveness and program quality improvement systems. Helping youth become who they want to be takes time and encouragement. It takes paying attention to what sparks a passion. At Camp Fire we help youth discover the their spark As one of the nation's leading youth development organizations, Camp Fire takes pride in its long-standing commitment to providing programs and services to all youth and families. Leadership. Professional, caring adults. ? Our work with young people is tailored to each individual, guiding them to be their best, a ?best? they define themselves. ? Volunteers and staff are passionate role models, champions of children (through proven, developmental methods) to live into their dreams. ? Programs encourage youth to discover their sparks, that kernel of passion that makes them thrive. Inclusiveness. Camp Fire is open to everyone. ? The uniqueness of all young people and their families is embraced. ? Every child is celebrated every day. No exceptions. ? Participants build lasting relationships with youth and adults of all ages and backgrounds. ? Camp Fire Recognizes Dignity and Worth Camp Fire's Corporate Statement of Inclusion: ? Camp Fire works to realize the dignity and worth of each individual and to eliminate human barriers based on all assumptions which prejudge individuals. ? Our program standards are designed and implemented to reduce sexual, racial, and cultural stereotypes and to foster positive intercultural relationships. In Camp Fire, everyone is welcome. Participant driven. ? Camp Fire is led by the youth themselves. ? Each young person sets their best course, in the direction they choose with no rigid checklists. ? Youth are motivated to find their own true voice; their own self-esteem. ? As youth care for others, they also become self-reliance. ? Youth are encouraged to explore their natural sense of curiosity and find their own sparks. About now. ? Camp Fire helps develop abilities today. We build a strong foundation, empowering youth for the present and the future. Programs We impact thousands of communities nationwide through programs that meet or exceed national recognized quality standards in the following categories. Camp Fire program is based on 5 trails which give youth and families an opportunity to explore a full range of activities including personal growth, service and engagement with the community, creative and fine arts, exploration of the out of doors and the natural world, and activities that help youth plan for the future. There are many special projects that allow youth to explore their interests, earn recognition, and demonstrate leadership. Out-of-school-time programs Across the country, Camp Fire provides programs for youth in the out-of-school-time hours through a variety of quality program opportunities. Youth participate in indoor and outdoor age-appropriate small group activities in which they can explore personal interests, learn to make healthy choices, develop social skills, and have fun. Overall, research has found that being in an out-of-school-time program is related to youth outcomes primarily when the program is high quality. High-quality program participation resulted in consistently better outcomes, compared with being in no program. Specifically, high program quality and high program safety are both positively correlated with three important adolescent outcomes: fewer risk-taking behaviors, higher levels of school performance, and higher levels of social competence. The research on the importance of quality in out-of-school time programs is consistent with research on child care quality, which finds that the quality of child care affects outcomes more than being in a program. The quality of an out-of-school time program appears to matter a great deal for adolescents, even over the effects of parent characteristics and family situation (education, income, and family structure). Developing caring, warm relationships with others, learning life skills, and participating in decision-making in out-of-school time programs are associated with positive outcomes for adolescents.? Camp Fire Out-Of-School-Time programs include: ? Before- and/or After-School Programs: Programs during the school year which meet the needs of youth and their families. Camp Fire partners with school districts, housing authorities and other community organizations to provide educational and recreational programs for youth.

These programs may be offered co-curricularly during the school day or as enrichment programs during out of school time. Camp Fire often partners with school districts, libraries and other community organizations to offer these programs to youth and their families. ?

Camp Fire utilizes outdoor activities to stimulate the curiosity and desire to learn in youth.

Through Camp Fire outdoor programs, youth from diverse backgrounds develop important skills, such as socialization, self-reliance, problem solving, and an appreciation of and commitment to the natural environment. They make their own decisions, have fun, and seek adventures. Through a group living experience, youth learn more about themselves and others. Camp Fire outdoor programs begin with selecting activities that grow out of the interests of the youth and the group of youth. Planning, decision-making, and both individual and group choices are important elements of all activities. Camp Fire provides trained staff to ensure that those choices encompass a balance of activities that allow for creativity and provide challenge and adventure. Camp Fire Outdoor Programs include: ?

Our school fund comes from student tuition, and student family/friend donation. The school budget is used on campus rent, custodian/janitor fee, teacher's compensation, teaching/student material, and school activities. Today HCS, as it's become known as the largest Chinese School in USA, has 7 permanent locations in Maryland and Virginia, with a community of over 4000 students. It offers classes from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Each school year begins in late August and runs through end of June. Classes meet Saturday or Sunday from 1 pm to 6 pm with a recess break. The school term runs for 36 weeks per calendar year. There is no Chinese instruction during the summer. The objective of HCS is to provide an excellent environment for students to learn Mandarin Chinese Language and to explore Chinese Culture. Our teachers are fun and experienced in Chinese language teaching. They are caring and strive to inspire students to have an appreciation for Chinese culture.
Student volunteers will assist the teachers, basically in classroom, to grade homework, lead class reading, in charge of the self study session, to tutor the students,  fetch teaching materials, etc.

HACSI partners with 40 community organizations, providing financial support and volunteers and direct assistance when needed. HASCI is involved in many local projects like food for the needy, assistance to families, in distress, health fairs, and education. Recently, HACSI promptly responded to COVID relief efforts both in the DMV area and in India providing food, medical supplies, volunteers and financial assistance in collaboration with partner organizations. During the last 12 years of existence, HACSI achieved an impressive expansion of its activities. It brought together 1500 volunteers from 40+ organizations/groups such as Hindu Temples, Social and Cultural Organizations and Religious groups to deliver community services. Every year new volunteers and groups are joining HACSI in providing food for the needy which has expanded beyond DC Central Kitchen to Montgomery County, MD and Fairfax County, Virginia. It has partnered with six HELP organizations in Montgomery County and has contributed canned foods and financial help on a regular basis. Grants to the six Montgomery County HELPS provided assistance for prescription drugs, transport for doctor or hospital visits, payments to utilities to prevent disconnection due to default, and payment of rent in arrears to prevent eviction. HACSI is taking an active role in helping Hindu families in distress through its Benevolent Fund for those facing unexpected illness and loss of employment. It has provided both financial assistance and guidance to families in distress. HACSI’s contribution to COVID relief in the DMV area and India has been timely and effective. It is partnering with local organizations to deliver monetary aid, medical supplies and food for needy families, here and in India, during the COVID pandemic. HACSI was engaged in the rehabilitation and welfare efforts of Bhutanese refugees, in its earlier years, by guiding them in education, health and employment. Other projects were inter-faith educational initiative, assistance to a project for digitization of out-of-print Indology manuscripts in India, assistance to keep Hindu soldiers in the US Armed Forces with their Hindu heritage - Can we provide a better description of what was provided. Such assistance may be revived when needed.</agency_description><date_added>2023-10-25T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2023-11-17T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Dr. Seetaramayya Nagula</contact><phone>+13019836858</phone><address>11412 Swains Creek Ct</address><city>Potomac</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20854</zip_code><agency_url>https://hacsiusa.org/index.php</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=154663"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.235838984 39.03359299)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-ytz8~cnvu-rfg4" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-0EEF-8DADC46DE38B" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-ytz8~cnvu-rfg4"><agency_id>100703</agency_id><agency_name>Project Access</agency_name><agency_description>Since 1999, Project Access has been operating resource centers on-site in affordable housing communities. At these centers, we provide access to tools, knowledge, and opportunities that empower residents of all ages to stabilize their households and pave their own paths to prosperity. Project Access addresses the critical challenges faced by “working-poor” individuals and families living in multi-family and senior affordable housing developments by bringing the services to where they live–in their “backyards,” which removes often-cited obstacles to services, such as lack of transportation,language barriers and the need for child care. Project Access Creates opportunities that empower disadvantaged and underserved individuals, families and seniors to achieve greater self-sufficiency, independence, and success.
Volunteers play a fundamental role in providing relevant and quality programs to the communities we serve. Volunteers assist the Service Coordinator with the daily operations and direct programming of the Family and Senior Resource Centers which benefit the residents of affordable housing. Volunteers will have the opportunity to define their role and respective responsibilities based on their particular skill set, site needs and learning objectives.</agency_description><date_added>2019-06-27T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2023-04-20T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Erica Fatal</contact><phone>+13018479666</phone><address>14009 Castle Blvd</address><address2>Apt. 201</address2><city>Silver Spring</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20904</zip_code><agency_url>https://www.project-access.org/</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=100703"/><geo_location>POINT (-76.939904996 39.084718995)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-b5k9-5sdq-8ibn" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-23DE-A6112EAC74F5" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-b5k9-5sdq-8ibn"><agency_id>86261</agency_id><agency_name>WeAchieve, Inc</agency_name><agency_description>WeAchieve, Inc., formally CHI Centers, Inc. serves people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities, and offers a variety of supports, including: Competitive Employment, Community Residential, Day Supports, Personal Supports and Employment Supports.

An experience unlike any other Following 14 hours of JA’s unique in-classroom curriculum taught by teachers, students practice newly learned micro economic concepts and experience first-hand the complexities of personal financial management as an earning, bill-paying adult for the day —with careers, families, salaries, debt and financial obligations — in the one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art JA Finance Park facility.
What does it mean to be a volunteer at JA Finance Park?
The total time commitment is 5 hours, including a 1-hour training the morning of your scheduled volunteer day.
 
As a JA Volunteer, you’ll watch students step into the future and catch a glimpse of what’s possible if they take control of their financial futures. Our students need your experience, expertise and commitment to help them be 100% inspired, 100% prepared and 100% employed when the time comes

You will use your training knowledge to guide students through different phases of the day, which simulate real-world budgeting decisions, spending research, and bill payment. 
 As you guide students through the digital simulation, you’ll share your own life experiences and help them walk a day in your shoes. You bring the program to life. 
 The experience of making real-life financial decisions in a risk-free environment lays the foundation for how students approach financial responsibilities in the future and navigate success in the dynamic global economy.

We also offer a volunteer Junior Member Program for high school Juniors that are at least 16 years of age.  This program provides free EMS and fire/rescue training to become a certified EMT and firefighter.  SSL credit can be submitted for volunteer hours.

Learn to operate street cars and become a voice of transit history! The dedicated members of our Operations team begin training as museum docents — the human connection to street car history and technology, guiding visitors through their museum experience. Further training may qualify them to become Conductors, who assist the Operator during street car runs. Volunteers at least age 18 with further training and having successfully completed a qualification test will have the opportunity to become one of our street car operators. Our operations team is critical for the success of interpreting our living collection of eighteen street cars and presenting them to the public!
 
Maintenance + Restoration
Our amazing “shop crew” keeps our living collection of historic street cars running, restores street cars to working and cosmetic conditions, and performs essential maintenance and repair on our interpretive railway. Their behind-the-scenes work supports every experience our visitors have with street cars. Whether you have years of experience in related fields or are interested and willing to learn, if you are 14 years or older, we look forward to welcoming your assistance! Maintenance and restoration meet weekly on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8am - 11am, but also as needed.
 
Education
If you enjoy working with children and families, making crafts, doing science projects, and want to help bring local and national history to our community, come join our education team! Critical thinking is at the heart of our education programs, and we welcome volunteers who would enjoy engaging with visitors through science, art, play, and conversation. Come aboard for our monthly family days (every first Saturday of the month) or volunteer to teach a classroom activity during our school programming (Thursdays and Fridays, as booked).

Our mission is to impact lives and empower communities through health &amp; wellness. This is not just an action but we are on a path to run a legacy through this initiative.  We partner with schools and community organizations to provide fitness plan of action and wellness education, after-school programs, and active out-of-school initiatives.

The programs run by us are primarily focused at creating a cordial relationship with students and eventually encourage them to become the best in their own self.

In ten years, those in this targeted age group (70+) will have had more experience with technical details of today's technology, but will be similarly challenged by emerging new technologies, so the need will not evaporate as those who've "grown up" with computers and other advanced technology age into the target age group.
We want to make technologies approachable and usable for seniors, through system setup or troubleshooting to simple friendly and respectful coaching focussed on listening first.

First founded by three American sisters, GirlsforGirls, NGO is a federally registered, Maryland-based, tax exempt non-profit organization that strives to educate, empower, and provide opportunities to disadvantaged girls all around the world.
Donations:
In the past, we have successfully donated to orphans located in Sierra Leone and Iraq. We collected several donations from our schools in the Bethesda and DC areas, including school supplies, clothing, books, backpacks, shoes, pencils, and other gently used or new items.
Yezidi Genocide:
Additionally, we are currently working with Ms. Pari Ibrahim, the founder of the Free Yezidi Foundation, in order to reconstruct the lives of traumatized Yezidi girls that have managed to escape ISIS territory. As you may know, on August 3rd of 2014, the Yezidis of Sinjar in Iraq’s Nineveh province were attacked. ISIS began a targeted campaign against the Yezidis, including mass executions, kidnapping, torture, sexual violence, and other egregious human rights abuses. GirlsforGirls is working alongside Pari Ibrahim and the Free Yezidi Foundation in order to advocate for the justice, protection, and fair treatment of the vulnerable Yezidi population. We are continuing to explore ways that we can physically, financially, and psychologically support young girls in need that have been forced to experience the negative effects of this genocide, such as through Letters of Love.
Letters of Love:
Recently, GirlsforGirls initiated a new project, called Letters of Love, which provides fortunate girls with the opportunity to communicate their support, love, and empowering words towards other girls in need. It also allows girls who have experienced traumatizing events and tragic occurrences to receive kind and empowering words from girls who care about them. Through Letters of Love, girls in the United States will write letters to less fortunate girls in need of empowerment and support. Along with each letter, the girls will attach a donation such as a piece of clothing, school supply, book, or pencil. We plan to send boxes of organized donations comprised of clothes, books, and school supplies to the girls that receive letters. We have galvanized several girls in our community, who have been sending supportive messages to other girls and marginalized who are fighting for their education, rights, and fair opportunities.
Global Campaigns and Initiatives - Yemen:
Furthermore, we also strongly believe in sharing our voices on issues that we feel passionate about through petitions and GoFundMe campaigns. We have focused on the Civil War in Yemen, which is considered one of the biggest humanitarian emergencies, as parents are being forced to watch their children starve to death. This war has pushed a country of 29 million into a dangerous famine with cruel effects on innocent populations. A third of Yemen’s population, 8.4 million people completely rely on food aid in order to avoid starvation. Over the past year, this number has grown by more than 25%. 2.9 million Yemeni women and children are acutely malnourished, while another 400,000 children are fighting for their lives. We believe in peaceful settlement over endless war, especially when it is ending the lives of millions of vulnerable and innocent civilians who are barely surviving the seriously devastating famine. Many may have forgotten about this war, but we urge our followers and community not to forget the millions of helpless women and children who continue to suffer from a resolvable conflict over constituting the Yemeni government.
Community Outreach Programs:
Finally, we have also galvanized several Whitman students to join GirlsforGirls in leading a community outreach program across the entire Maryland educational system. We are currently focusing on supporting schools in PGCPS. For more information, please feel free to visit our website at girls-4-girls.org

We do not have a shelter facility and hold adoption events every weekend, throughout the DC Metro area. K9 Lifesavers works with dedicated volunteer foster homes, local veterinarians, trainers, and doggy daycare/kenneling facilities to provide loving temporary care while we find well-matched, carefully screened forever homes for each dog. We serve as a support group to our adopters and all dog owners by providing ongoing education and resources for the well-being of their dogs, including the importance of proactive spay/neuter policies, positive reinforcement training, and good nutrition. Student volunteers play a crucial role in organizing and tidying up weekly adoption events. They engage with the public, providing information about the dogs, educating potential adopters on their age, gender, breed, and behavioral traits. Volunteers also share details about dog rescue efforts, our organization, and actively advocate for dogs in search of a permanent home. Additionally, they are responsible for coordinating drives to collect essential items such as sheets, blankets, towels, and dog food.

Individuals and families that are accepted into the program receive, at no cost, all the materials and supplies necessary to complete the repairs to maintain the integrity of the existing homes and neighborhoods. Rebuilding Together Montgomery County is dedicated to helping low income homeowners, particularly the elderly, disabled, veterans and families with young children, with home repairs and maintenance. Our goal is to keep people living in warmth, safety, and independence, while helping to build better communities in Montgomery County.

The case management team works with families, referring them to needed services, and working with them to come up housing programs, income and employment solutions. The emergency shelter provides food, clothing, shelter, support services and educational programming (focus is on housing, employment and financial literacy) while they are at the shelter.
We provide comprehensive services to any configuration of homeless families with children including, but not limited to, single mothers or single fathers with children, two-parent families with children and grandparents raising their grandchildren.
We have robust volunteer and donations programs, without which we could not operate. The community donates urgent needs items that can be used by families while they reside at the shelter and that help operate the shelter overall. We maintain an updated urgent needs list on our website. 
In addition, we have many "wish list" items donated for the families when they move out. These include some household goods (i.e., microwaves, coffee makers, dishes, pots and pans, utensils, etc.) to give them a leg up.
We have a dinner donor program that provides dinners 365 days a year for our families. Students can earn 3 SSL hours if they make and deliver a meal; However, they must sign up on our signup genius link and fulfill the requirements for a healthy, balanced and complete meal for the six families, which totals approximately 23 residents. Please contact Helen Domenici for assistance.
There are a variety of volunteer opportunities at Stepping Stones Shelter. You must be 15 years old do the following. The Montgomery County Public School system and community volunteers provide tutoring for the school-aged children at the shelter so they can catch up in school. Volunteers can also provide childcare and engage in fun activities with the children. However, any volunteer must submit an application and go through our volunteer process before helping with our families. If you are 18 years old, you must have a background check.  Student volunteers can earn 1 SSL hour per session. Furthermore, we welcome daytime volunteers who complete shelter-tasks and donation sorting; they too must go through the volunteer process.

Don't be fooled by our name: we work throughout Montgomery County! We seek to place people in permanent, supportive housing; to ease life on the street during that process; and to protect low-income tenants in crisis from eviction and possible homelessness. For some of our clients, homelessness is a difficult but transitory period that they ultimately resolve on their own, by landing needed work or finding friends or family to help them through. Other clients have been on the street for years. Some feel deeply detached from and abandoned by society, and may resist help despite sorely needing it. We slowly build trust, then work with partners to place these clients into homes. Regardless of whether their homelessness is temporary or chronic, Bethesda Cares provides all clients a haven where they know they won't be told to move along.

Student Volunteers will support our work through volunteering to help with administrative tasks associated with fundraising, including processing mailers and providing administrating support to fundraising campaigns around seasonal fundraising, for example around Mother's Day, International Women's Day, Christmas and New Years.  Some student volunteers may also help by developing social media posts - derived from our on-line materials.  Because the volunteering is largely office work, it would be accessible to students with differing abilities.

Our objectives are ambitious, but we are convinced that their achievement will result in a brighter future for Maryland ? its business, its citizens, and its children. More than 3,000 volunteers work with MBRT on efforts to ensure that Maryland students are well prepared to succeed in the 21st century. We support and work to improve key elements of school reform through leadership changes in the legislature, the executive office, and State Board of Education. Over the years, our successes have been evident in improved standards, assessments, and graduation requirements. Additionally, we are leading the creation of Maryland?s STEM Innovation Network called STEMnet. It provides educators in Maryland universal access to STEM information, resources, and opportunities by establishing a virtual environment in which communities of practice emerge to promote new and innovative programs and share critical information.</agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2019-09-16T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Nona Carroll</contact><phone>1-410-788-0333</phone><address>5520 Research Park Drive</address><address2>Suite 150</address2><city>Baltimore</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>21228</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.mbrt.org</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=76413"/><geo_location>POINT (-76.714584016 39.247940005)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-utjw_k843_xbh4" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-445E-26BFDA853CD3" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-utjw_k843_xbh4"><agency_id>116983</agency_id><agency_name>Japan Institute for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship</agency_name><agency_description>Japan Institute for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship (JSIE) supports fostering global talent, and offers global networking opportunities for young professionals, with an emphasis on helping women and minorities realize their greatest potential.

Nothing will ever replace these two parents, grandparents, friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. Dick and Jody touched the lives of so many people and left a lasting impression of kindness, joy humor, and love as well as philanthropy and care for the community. The Dick and Jody Vilardo Foundation was created in the Fall of 2015 by the Vilardo family with the goal of continuing to keep their light alive by celebrating with those hey touched while giving back to the community. While Dick and Jody are best known for their work with the Children's Inn at the National Institute of Health, they were avid supporters of many local charities. We strive to honor their memory by doing what they loved to do, enjoying their friends and family for the benefit of great causes.

The Cade Foundation?s Family Building Grants offer up to $10,000 in financial assistance to help others pursue fertility treatment or adoption. To date, the Cade Foundation has hosted hundreds of outreach events throughout the U.S. and provided 92 families with financial support for adoption and fertility treatment. The best way for us to continue to help families is to host events throughout the year, where we not only raise money, but we also use this time to support families through unification. Volunteers become a part of our support system, and the work they do whether, administration work to handing out race t-shirts, their help is greatly appreciated. Infertility is a tough journey, and we want families to know, they are not alone!

Our hope, as parents, volunteers and believers, is that through the club, our children will learn and grow together in the common experience of horsemanship, team spirit, cooperation, and in their mutual love for the loyal, admirable friend to us all, the horse. Seneca Valley Pony Club has over 50 kids as members and over 75 parents as sponsors and volunteers. The members come from many areas around the Washington, D.C.. vicinity in (but not limited to) Montgomery County, Maryland. We are grateful for the parents that help to make the logistics of our Pony Club work. Through their dedication of time and effort, the children go to events, lessons, rallies and through their hard work on the field we are able hold our yearly spring and fall trials. Seneca Valley Pony Club is a member of the local region called the Capital Region and are also members of our parent club the United States Pony Club. The USPC purports the principles, beliefs and policy frameworks with which we direct our Club's activities. SVPC participates in competitions with the other Pony Clubs within the Capital Region. These competitions are called rallies, each with its own focus, be it dressage, show jumping, games, combined training, or know-down. Once a year, at the United States Pony Club National Rally, the pony clubbers that qualify from the local regions, form teams and compete in the national competition. This is a very exciting event! Seneca Valley Pony Club has been graciously allowed to use Bittersweet Field in Poolesville Md., the property of the Austin Kiplinger family. The Seneca Valley pony clubbers cross country school at Bittersweet. We also sponsor two main events each spring and fall at Bittersweet Field. These events are open to the public and are called the Seneca Valley Horse Trials. They help fund our pony club. SVPC welcomes student volunteers to assist with various volunteer jobs at the horse trials. Also included in the SVPC year events are lesson programs which take place during the winter and early spring season. The lessons are offered at an economical rate, with great trainers, dedicated to the "philosophy of pony club". We are ever grateful to these instructors who give of their time to promote the sense of accomplishment and well being that horsemanship brings.

At BSECC, we are committed to excellence in Jewish Early Childhood Education.

The GNO LoveSac Project
The program provides a sealable canvas bag filled with the care and wellness essentials a woman or child living in a shelter needs including: toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm, soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, lotion, feminine hygiene products etc. The LoveSacs are for women and children who are living in domestic violence or homeless shelters without their basic needs. Our goal is to help families create stability and provide them with the dignity that everyone deserves.
The Books &amp; Backpacks Initiative
The program provides a backpack, school supplies and books to students affected by poverty. The supplies are given to students who attend Title I elementary schools to help promote and enhance youth literacy and support academic achievement. Each year, GNO-GFWC provides more than 300 backpacks filled with school supplies and books to children in the Washington, DC community. Our goal is to help children thrive and succeed through education.
The Holiday Hearts Initiative
The program provides new toys and gifts to the children of economically insecure families. To date, GNO-GFWC has provided thousands of new toys and books as Christmas gifts to area families. Our goal is to ensure no child in the Washington, DC region wakes up without a gift on Christmas morning. We want to help parents make that dream a reality.
The Caring Coats Project
The program provides new winter coats, hats and gloves to area children in need. Each year, GNO-GFWC provides hundreds of new coats to children who might otherwise go without. We believe every child deserves his or her own new winter coat. We provide items from size newborn through size 18 for children living in the Washington, DC region.

We seek compassionate and friendly individuals who enjoy working with elderly residents. This requires patience, dedication and flexibility. Volunteers typically say that they have received far more than they have given, in terms of friendships, relationships and general life lessons.
Volunteers are involved in various ways, such as with our LIFE enrichment program, seven days a week. Activities may include assisting with crafts, entertainment, games, one-on-one visits, outings, reading, walking, hand massage, manicures, parties and special events. There are a range of other positions that provide opportunities to volunteer as dining &amp; hospitality aides or dining assistants during meal times, helping the maintenance team with grounds work, doing administrative tasks, transporting residents for salon appointments, and more. 
While we do our best to match volunteer interests with assignments, the days and hours that volunteers are available will determine what roles are available to each individual.
Student Service Learning (SSL) activities take place in public settings and documentation is provided for students to report the hours they have volunteered. People having disabilities are encouraged to become volunteers; there is a role for everyone having an interest in volunteering.
Volunteer Orientation, required before volunteering at Brooke Grove, is held the last Tuesday of each month (except December) from 6:30 - 8pm. Please email volunteers@bgf.org to be put on the list for an upcoming orientation.

With this tremendous building boom Germantown has lost about half of its historic structures--and along with them some of the connections to the cultural and historical past of this important town. An understanding of the roots of this New City can help to foster community identity and cohesion. Education about local history can also bring connection and relevance of this personal history to county, state and national history.

As the nation’s children’s hospital, the mission of Children’s National is to excel in Care, Advocacy, Research and Education. We accomplish this through:

 Providing a quality health care experience for our patients and families
 Improving health outcomes for children regionally, nationally and internationally
 Leading the creation of innovative solutions to pediatric health challenges







Children's National Hospital Vision Statement:
Children's National will lead the future of pediatric health through its clinical excellence, transformative research, innovation and service to the community.






Children’s National Hospital Child-Centered Vision:
By incorporating feedback from our families, we have developed our first child‐centered vision, which looks at the hospital experience through a child’s eyes.

Healing a child’s body, mind and spirit takes more than medicine: it takes a team to fulfill a family’s dream
My hospital is a bright and happy place that feels like home
My providers, my family and I are a team, and everyone's job is important
The way my hospital works is built around me
My providers don't all look alike
My hospital is my family's connection to everything I need for my health, whether they provide it or trail blaze it

We partner with local organic, regenerative, and naturally grown vegetable farms in Montgomery County which produce a weekly variety of fresh seasonal produce. Through generous donations from community members, we buy CSA shares (the weekly produce bags) from the farmers and provide them to families experiencing food insecurity throughout the growing season (typically about 25 weeks). This means each family in the program can rely on knowing they will be able to have healthy meals each week, delivered to their home by volunteers. We partner with other food assistance and social service providers to help us identify the families most in need of such healthy local produce.

But there are other paths forward and BECA is one of them. Together, students, families, and teachers are collaborating everyday in BECA’s two community-led bilingual schools in Honduras to write their own beautiful stories of success and hope without ever needing to leave home. BECA’s model is more than an international teaching program. We distinguish ourselves by the breadth and depth of our community engagement, our dedication to fostering long-term relationships with our communities, and our commitment to ensuring that our BECA teachers are trained and supported to unleash the amazing potential of their students and to learn from them and their families. The proof is in the pudding – BECA teaching alumni form life-long bonds with their students, families, and each other. We invite short-term volunteer support through service learning visits, communications internships, and student/teacher-organized classroom exchanges.

Greater DC Diaper Bank works to provide an adequate and reliable supply of diapers to babies, toddlers and their families in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. It is modeled after successful diaper banks around the country, providing diapers to social service organizations that are already helping families in need through comprehensive programs and services. Diaper banks using this model ensure that diapers are distributed to the families that need them the most and in the most effective way. DC Diaper Bank provides an average of 175000 diapers to more than 4000 families a month. To date the DC Diaper Bank has donated over 1.2 million diapers to families in need, and this number continues to grow.  We will be working on donation inventory, packing and stacking diapers, and organizing the Baby Pantry.  Please wear comfy shoes and layers -- it can get warm/cool in the warehouse.

Volunteer opportunities can be broken down into three main categories of opportunities:  fundraising, building, and delivering, and assembling of the beds.  Our SHP chapter is constantly looking for ways to fundraise, which includes receiving money donations to buy supplies, or direct receipt of the supplies (such as pillows, blankets, and mattresses).  The more funds that we raise, the more that we can give back to those in need! Second, we need volunteers, including student volunteers, that would participate in our build-days.  During these builds, we love to gather families and friends to work together as a team to produce as many beds as we can.  Builds usually last a day and provide a warm-hearted experience to all. Finally, we rely on volunteers to deliver and assemble beds on-site at the house/apartment where the beds are to be delivered.  We find this to be the most rewarding experience as it allows one to visualize just how much these beds mean to the children receiving the beds.  Although only a multi-hour process, the experience is without a doubt worth it.</agency_description><date_added>2019-11-26T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2023-12-08T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Michele Wales</contact><phone>+13014245554</phone><address>11816 CENTURION WAY</address><city>Potomac</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20854</zip_code><agency_url>https://www.shpbeds.org/</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=107203"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.249639033 39.070947989)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-regg.bv2u-qzvi" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-CD5C-65ECAD53B1B1" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-regg.bv2u-qzvi"><agency_id>76803</agency_id><agency_name>Brookdale Olney</agency_name><agency_description>At Brookdale Olney we serve assisted living as well as residents living with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

If they are afforded the opportunity to collect any personal belongings, many are then given a trash bag in which to place and carry their personal items.  It is a time of great upheaval and instability, and their first foster home placement is unlikely to be their last. Many youth in foster care will be moved from home to home multiple times, carrying their life’s treasures in a trash bag. At Comfort Cases, we believe that every child deserves to feel a sense of dignity. Every child deserves to pack their belongings in a special bag that they can call their own. It is our mission as a charity to provide a proper bag filled with comfort and essential items to these brave youth in foster care on their journey to find their forever home.

Neurodivergent brains develop or work differently for some reason, meaning they have different strengths and struggles from people whose brains work more typically (neurotypical).
MIND is offering the opportunity for neurodiverse students to come together to support understanding, acceptance, and inclusion. Students will self-identify as a neurodivergent or neurotypical, and the group will consist of 6-8 members. Half of the members will be those self-identified as neurodivergent, and half will be those self-identified as neurotypical. 
Through conversation, game play and expressive arts based activities the group members will work to decode differences in their brains, social, and communication styles, and will support each other to better understand and embrace neurodiversity. 
These groups are open to middle &amp; high schoolers. A commitment of 8 weeks, 1.5 hours per week, in person at our office at 5480 Wisconsin Ave. #223 Chevy Chase is required. Groups are ongoing throughout the year. 
This is a student service learning opportunity, not a research study. It is not intended to collect any data for research purposes from the students who participate. However, participants may be asked to fill out anonymous before and after program evaluations.

Each year, the Stage produces seven full-length plays plus a one-act festival and a winter holiday show. Our one-act festival provides a showcase for theatrical newcomers and youth and the holiday show attracts community families both on-stage and off. We have produced plays by BIPOC artists and actively recruit actors, directors, and production team members with an eye to diversity. Student volunteers can help us with maintaining our facility, ushering for shows, working backstage or onstage. Our most recent seasons have included productions directed at Black, Asian-American, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ audiences. In addition to our play choices, we have been seeking BIPOC artists for our projects and have used numerous Black and Asian actors in our projects in recent years. Over the years, the Stage has built a reputation for taking risks while producing shows that regularly receive top honors and awards.

A conversation about the value and potential of every mind. Because every mind is important and needs attention, care, and support. One in four people will deal with a mental health issue in their lifetime and that one person's life impacts so many more  families, friends, co-workers, and neighbors to name just a few. We are committed to helping everyone recognize that taking care of one's mental wellness is as important and necessary as taking care of one's physical wellness. When one of us realizes optimal health, the entire community benefits. For sixty years, our highly trained, caring, professional staff has provided community education, advocacy, and direct services which empower children, teens, families, older adults and the entire community to reach optimal mental wellness. We were known as Mental Health Association for most of that time, and while we have had a tremendous impact on the mental wellness of our community, we know that there is more work to be done. We have to find a way to move past the stigma that gets in the way of wholeness and wellness. If we want to live in a healthy community we need to care for every mind.

Now in its 72nd year, MCYO continues to enjoy a national reputation as an outstanding music program. MCYO conductors and coaches are all professional musicians and highly regarded music educators. To maintain the highest possible quality, students must audition annually in August to win a seat in an ensemble for the season. After selection and placement, members participate in weekly rehearsals and regularly-scheduled concerts in the world-class concert hall at the Music Center at Strathmore. MCYO also performs at other top national venues, such as the Kennedy Center, the White House and Carnegie Hall, and has participated in international tours and European festivals.  MCYO musicians perform for many community events.

Big Learning Science &amp; Engineering
Big Learning Foreign Language: FLES

Big Learning also provides access to the cultural arts through:

Big Learning Cultural Arts Showcase

Volunteers assist in the office preparing student materials for classes:  counting, bundling, sorting, and packing items used in science and language classes.  Volunteers may also assist instructors in classes at local elementary schools.  Big Learning Science &amp; Engineering sparks curiosity in children with playful, interactive, hands-on science and engineering activities. Unlike demonstration-based science programs, Big Learning Science &amp; Engineering gives children an opportunity to learn by doing. By actively participating in exciting experiments and projects, our students enjoy exploring the fundamentals of science, engineering, and the scientific method. Through Big Learning Science &amp; Engineering, our students develop the critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and creativity skills needed to become innovators for life. S&amp;E programs are offered in three 8-week sessions, Fall, Winter, and Spring for children grades Pre-K-5. 
Big Learning Foreign Language: FLES provides foreign language instruction in Spanish, French, and Chinese. Our classes offer children an opportunity to develop cultural awareness and build a foundation for future foreign language fluency and exploration. Programs start in Kindergarten and children follow the sequential FLES curriculum through 5th grade advancing from Introductory to Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels. The focus at the beginning levels is on oral comprehension and speaking. As children progress to the intermediate and advanced levels, they begin to read and write in the target language. FLES teachers are native speakers of the languages they teach. They provide immersion-based classes in an encouraging environment where children learn and practice a new language through routines, interactive activities, workbooks, songs, dramatic play, games, and cultural notes, that bring the learning experience to life in fun, developmentally appropriate ways.
Each year Big Learning Cultural Arts Showcase provides a catalog and showcase of performers interested in providing cultural arts experiences to children in Montgomery County Public Schools through the PTA. PTA representatives can refer to the comprehensive catalog and showcases for an unmatched opportunity to choose from performances and entertainment from around the globe to bring to their school community.
All Big Learning instructors undergo extensive training in the use of our curriculum and methodology and complete the required background checks. Our instructors have had prior experience working with children, and are identified as positive adult role models and leaders.

We currently offer a Fall and Spring Program. These are not travel teams and accept everyone that registers. Each week during the seasons, each player receives a one-page write-up on a different word that serves as that week life lesson focus word (Ex. Leadership, Grit, Humble, etc). Players are responsible for reading the document and coaches will be incorporating lessons in the week's practices and games around that word. Angels Baseball also conducts Coaches Clinics where we help coaches understand HOW they should be teaching. Most, if not all coaches clinics focus on WHAT to teach. However, it's more important how skills are taught. In the summer, Angels Baseball runs summer camps and will soon be launching its "Be Accountable" program. The "Be Accountable" program works with youth baseball players to help them understand that they are responsible for defining their success. We help them understand accountability while also giving them the tools they need to improve their game w/o the need of others.
SSL Opportunities: During summer months, we run our Youth Development Program in conjunction with schools that operate Linkages to Learning programs.  We will ask for student volunteers to be group leads during physical activities and indoor classroom discussions.  We may also ask for student volunteers to help us in the Fall and/or Spring to help lead groups during our baseball programs.  The opportunities we offer students center around leadership of kids ages 9-12.

Each delivery includes food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with liquid nutritional supplements, as needed. Our community dietitians and professional chefs work closely to provide individualized services to our clients. Food &amp; Friends offers 11 specialized meal plans to meet our clients’ nutritional needs.
Food &amp; Friends depends on thousands of volunteers every year to carry out our mission of preparing, packaging and delivering nutritious meals to those battling serious illnesses. Join us!
The first step to becoming a Food &amp; Friends volunteer is to attend a virtual new volunteer orientation. You can register here https://foodandfriends.org/volunteer/
Volunteer opportunities to deliver meals and work in the kitchen are available. However, MCPS will not approve meal delivery as service learning hours. MCPS students seeking service hours may volunteer in the kitchen performing tasks such as portioning, sealing and labeling meals, and packing meals and groceries. You must be at least 14 to volunteer in our kitchen and volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
* We require all adults (19+) who volunteer individually to undergo a background check.  For delivery volunteers, the check will include a motor vehicle report.  You must complete the process before your first day.
*Currently, we cannot approve court ordered service.

The organization promotes independence and recovery by providing a stable and comfortable home. With the security of knowing that their housing is secure, our tenants can focus on becoming valued and integrated members of the community.
We provide shared housing - single family and three bedroom townhouses - and rent them at below-market rates to qualified individuals. Rent is computed on a sliding scale based on income and is capped to encourage employment and maintain a sense a security. Tenants are responsible for their own health, finances, interpersonal relationships, and maintaining a clean home.
We encourage our tenants to succeed in their independence by providing concrete incentives such as rent credits for getting involved in the community. We also provide paid intern opportunities so that tenants can gain work experience.
Many of the people that we serve come to Housing Unlimited from homeless shelters, supervised residential programs, or the homes of their aging parents. With more than 200 people on our waiting list, Housing Unlimited must continue acquiring new homes to meet the needs of adults in mental health recovery who are seeking a permanent, affordable, and independent place to live. We can’t grow fast enough to meet the increasing needs of the community.
Volunteering opportunities include outdoor and indoor home projects. Housing Unlimited is able to provide experiences for large and small volunteer groups. Prior experience is not necessary. Feel free to call 301-592-9314 if you have any questions!

In rhythm with the seasons, volunteers collect pollen, pollinate flowers, harvest nuts, plant nuts in pots, transfer seedlings from pots to orchards, clear deadwood, and conduct research experiments that identify the most survivable trees.
Most volunteer opportunities are outdoors. Volunteers have opportunities to learn how their efforts contribute to the larger plan for restoring a native species to its habitat in our local ecosystem. Students, in particular, can deepen and apply their studies in biology and ecology.
Many nearby volunteer opportunities will be listed here on the Montgomery County Volunteer Center site. You can also learn about upcoming opportunities by joining or visiting the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/md-tacf-orchard-volunteers

Throughout the year, WAP manages art pop-ups, community art workshops, and an art gallery. WAP has an annual poster contest with a cash prize for MoCo students. Follow us on Instagram @wheatonartsparade.
MCPS student volunteers help a non-profit arts organization bring the community together with free art activities. Students may have the opportunity to work alongside WAP artists conducting free public workshops and art pop-ups or in managing the WAP gallery that exhibits the work of 25 Montgomery County artists. At the annual parade and festival, student volunteers may assist with check-in and set up of the exhibits and assist participants getting ready at the parade staging area, assist stage managers at the two performance stages, and staff the information booth. In weeks leading up to the parade, students may have the opportunity to help artists run the workshops that create the community float or the yarn bomb.

The program, called One2One, operates in the fall and spring, and offers a volunteer experience ranging from 5-10 hours over several weeks. One2One was established during the pandemic as a way to create non-travel based opportunities for crosscultural dialogue.

We provide our students with the chance to become connected with the world of technology through hands-on learning in exciting lessons taught by fellow students and volunteers. By joining DevelopIT, we hope students and young minds can have the opportunity to challenge themselves and participate in non-traditional knowledge-sharing in a collaborative environment outside of their normal classrooms. Additionally, through our student led model, we at DevelopIT are also committed to providing middle and high schoolers with an early chance to not only strengthen their leadership skills through spearheading their own school branches, but also contributing back to society through providing volunteer educational services to younger students. Together, the DevelopIT community will empower our students with the ability to discover their true potential as future leaders in the field of technology. Student volunteers will have opportunities to develop trainings for younger students, lead club meetings, host online lessons, and join our leadership calls.

Athletics
Community
Culture
Education

to enrich the lives of people in our community.  We encourage young adults to participate in our programs throughout the year.
During the Chinese Lunar New Year season, usually in January or February, we seek volunteers to help with setup, put up flags, hold banners, pass out goodies, march in the parade, and clean up.  This annual event is sponsored by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA) whom CYC partners with to organize. Volunteers are welcomed and SSL hours are given to students who can help.  
Other SSL hour volunteer opportunities we give is when we host the annual McDonald's Educational Workshops in the fall.  Student help setup chairs and tables at the venue where the event will take place and stay until the end and help with clean up after the workshop is completed. 
Lastly in December, we join hundreds of thousands of fellow Americans that donate their time to place wreaths on the markers of fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery.  There is no age limit to volunteer and, in fact, we encourage families to come and share in this patriotic experience!

Volunteers, both adults and students, will work with our staff to provide a positive experience to clients utilizing our services.  Specific tasks and volunteer projects vary from program site.  At the Interfaith Works Clothing Center, volunteers will sort and organize donated clothing and household items, and support clients as they shop for items as needed; volunteers can also prepare food bags for our weekly Food Hub distribution, and distribute food to families.  Volunteers interested in our women's shelter, overflow shelters, and permanent supportive homes can prepare cooked meals for our residents.  At this time, in-person volunteering at our shelters and permanent supportive housing programs, such as serving meals, is not allowed due to COVID-19 precautions.








We would be happy to have you volunteer at the Interfaith Works Clothing Center.  The Interfaith Works Clothing Center (IWCC) distributes donated items free of charge to IWCC clients so they can pay for rent, food, and other expenses.  Thousands of individuals, businesses, schools, camps, service organizations and congregations donate time and goods, which make our program possible.  We are proud to provide the link between people in our community who have things they no longer need or want with the people in the community who are in desperate need of the same items.
 In order to continue to maintain a safe experience for all of our customers and volunteers, all shopping and volunteer service will be by appointment only. More information about signing up to shop or volunteer is below, along with information about donating to the Interfaith Works Clothing Center.

NEST Nurtures focuses on tackling global hunger, poverty, and food waste through feeding the hungry, food rescues, and large-scale service projects. We advance food loss prevention efforts by organizing hunger-related service opportunities, hosting sustainability workshops, and advocating for zero waste through awareness campaigns. 


NEST Tutors provides continued quality education to people worldwide. After witnessing the transformative effects of continued education in our own community, we set our sights on providing academic resources, leadership experience, cultural awareness, scholastic guidance, ESOL lessons, instructional training (content and critical literacy), and emotional support. (not eligible for the SSL program)


NEST Kares aims to instill kindness as a lifestyle rather than a one-time action through the assembly of blessing bags and treat bags, creation of kindness notes, engagement in virtual kindness movements, and execution of random acts of kindness for community heroes, senior citizens, and the homeless community. 


NEST Buddies “Birthday-in-a-Box” program was created to serve underprivileged children and low-income families, because we believe that every kid deserves to celebrate their birthday, regardless of socioeconomic status.


NEST Inspires is a leadership program with a mission to Network, Empower, Succeed, and Transform! This program involves the facilitation of interactive workshops and webinars that grant thousands worldwide an opportunity to engage with notable speakers and activists, while building meaningful networks that breed decisive societal change. These workshops approach an array of topics from leadership and mental health to kindness and sustainability. We have connected with organizations globally to elevate international voices working towards addressing these matters. 

We also coordinate and execute hundreds of service projects as part of our generosity movement, in honor of global days of service including Good Deeds Day, International Volunteer Day, World Kindness Week, MLK Day of Service, Earth Day, Random Acts of Kindness Week, Global Youth Service Day, Giving Tuesday, 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance, Global Volunteer Month, etc. In addition to large-scale service projects such as our Blessing Bag Project and Sandwich Assembly Project, we’ve organized Rice Up Against Hunger events, Hope in A Bag projects, Kits4Kids events, Notes of Hope initiatives, Goodies4Good projects, etc. which provide our volunteers a diverse array of philanthropic opportunities to give back passionately.

The Muddy Branch is a tributary stream of the Potomac River in Montgomery County, located about 14 miles northwest of Washington, DC. The headwaters of the stream originate in Gaithersburg and the stream flows southwest for about 7 miles, through Muddy Branch Park. While most of the area in the upper reaches of the watershed is houses and business, the Muddy Branch Park runs through the heart of the watershed as does the popular Muddy Branch Greenway Trail.
The flowing waters, natural spaces, and wildlife make our neighborhoods beautiful. However, the choices we make every day impact their health and the sustainability of the creeks, the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. Our Muddy Branch Alliance mission is based on a vision to conserve this valuable natural resource for future enjoyment. We provide activities that engage volunteers in monitoring and protecting stream water quality. We encourage folks to enjoy the plants and wildlife literally in their own back yards while working along our trail system or picking up trash at a cleanup. We encourage control of invasive plants in our stream valleys while planting natives in our yards or community gardens. We teach about conservation and watershed stewardship at our meetings.
If you have a desire to be involved locally, we encourage you to join us in our mission along this wonderful resource called the Muddy Branch.

By implementing spay/neuter and trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs to reduce the number of animals who enter shelters, and increasing the number of people who adopt pets, we know we can end the killing. We know we can Save Them All. The ability to Save Them All can only be achieved when like-minded organizations and individuals come together. Best Friends works collaboratively with other groups, government, and regular folks throughout the nation. Our outreach programs get to the very root of animal homelessness nationwide. The Best Friends Network brings animal shelters and rescue groups together from across the country to hold mutual adoption events, public education campaigns, and fundraising drives. Working together, these groups are able to save many more lives than they could in isolation. We are a proud participant of Shelter Animals Count, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating, sharing and stewarding a national database of sheltered animals that provides facts and enables insights to save lives. Nationwide, Best Friends is also running these critical initiatives: Puppy mill initiatives: Best Friends is working hard to combat puppy mills, one of the major contributors to animal homelessness, through public awareness campaigns, legislative work, and encouragement of adopting rather than purchasing pets. Cat initiatives: Cats comprise the majority of animals dying in shelters ? up to 70 percent in some places. Most of these are community cats (stray and free-roaming). Best Friends is working to save lives by implementing innovative trap-neuter-return programs across the country. Some of the most successful to date have been in Los Angeles, California; Salt Lake City, Utah; Jacksonville, Florida; San Antonio, Texas; and Albuquerque, New Mexico. These programs have helped reduce cat shelter deaths by as much as 65 percent. Pit bull terrier initiatives: Like cats, pit bull terriers comprise a disproportionately high number of animals dying in shelters. At Best Friends, we fight breed-discriminatory laws, and work hard to change the image of the pit bull terrier nationwide through Neighborhood Pit Bull Days, advertisements, and more to give these dogs the chance to make it out of shelters and into the arms of loving families. From humble beginnings, Best Friends Animal Society has grown into a national leader in the no-kill movement. But the future lies in the same place that it all began ? with caring individuals who want to make this a kinder nation for our pets. It's people like you who started it all, and people like you who will help us to Save Them All.</agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2022-10-03T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Brandi Canning</contact><address>Wheaton Regional Park</address><city>Wheaton</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20902</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.bestfriends.org</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=75928"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.04432 39.05282)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-6qvz_ngek~uqig" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-7B8F-A7A62E3DDDC6" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-6qvz_ngek~uqig"><agency_id>158212</agency_id><agency_name>Studio Acting Conservatory</agency_name><agency_description>we have work-study students and interns through the year.</agency_description><date_added>2024-03-05T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2024-03-07T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Victoria Chung</contact><phone>+12022320714</phone><address>3423 Holmead Pl NW</address><city>Washington, DC</city><state>DC</state><zip_code>20010</zip_code><agency_url>https://studioactingconservatory.org/</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=158212"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.030554776 38.932656561)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-szi7_egjc_6v9h" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-606B-F97BAA7F6F1E" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-szi7_egjc_6v9h"><agency_id>76402</agency_id><agency_name>M.A.D.E.

Lost Dog &amp; Cat Rescue Foundation is overwhelmingly a volunteer-run organization with a small paid staff providing direct care to animals at the Lost Dog &amp; Cat ‘Rescue Care Center’ facility located in Falls Church, Virginia. Many other animals are cared for in our network of volunteer foster homes and some cats are housed at Petsmart Cat Adoption Centers.
Every weekend, LDCRF holds off-site adoption events at local PetSmart and PetCo stores and places more than 2,000 dogs and cats per year for adoption.

We follow many widely accepted agricultural management practices for the health of our animals and our land, and we communicate with ?real? farmers on an ongoing basis to broaden our knowledge. But the animals who live here are not in production. They will never be bred, slaughtered, sent to market, or eaten. They will live out the rest of their lives here, in peace. The only crop we produce is wool; we use the fleeces sheared in a respectful manner from the sheep to create beautiful, unique items for sale to the public in our store.
Our volunteers help keep animal areas clean and also assist in husbandry tasks.

It also helps ensure their success in postsecondary institutions and/or the workforce in our increasingly global economy. Moreover, students can use their stories to create virtual yearbooks for all the clubs and teams in which they participate.
 We provide students with an opportunity and a vehicle to use storytelling to:

Learn how to use concise language and to enhance tories with photographs and other media. Students can record important events and memories as well as share their pride in their ethnic and cultural identity.
Publish a legacy story on our Web-based Heritage Honor Roll to ensure the significance of a lifetime will not be forgotten and enables students to have a permanent and accessible social media presence that truly describes who they are.
Utilize storytelling as a wonderful intergenerational bonding experience that builds empathy, compassion and understanding.
Help others less skilled in the art of writing and the use of technology to incorporate images and recordings into their legacy stories, a student can earn service-learning credits.

Then, we listen to founder’s needs and accommodate our offerings to their lives. Our program is a grassroots solution to systemic barriers blocking an entrepreneur’s success. 
Our community-based experience has identified three consistent barriers to success, listed below:
Barrier one: Education. We work through partners to provide hands-on and practical workshops that enable participants to both experience and test their knowledge— and receive feedback from instructors and peers every step of the way. They are taught by experts who know the subject matter in the context of start-ups and small businesses. Via a three-part education series (described in the Education section of this proposal), our curriculum covers eight skills essential to business development:
(1) Ideation – Design Thinking (identifying growth goals for a business) 
(2) Leadership and Emotional Intelligence (developing and enhancing leadership skills) 
(3) Business Planning and Story Telling (refining and articulating a business growth opportunity) 
(4) Marketing and Selling (understanding customers) 
(5) Strategic Growth Through Operations (increasing operational efficiencies and improving profitability) 
(6) Money and Metrics (basics of budgets, bookkeeping and financial projections) 
(7) Legal Structure, Registration, Licensing and Paperwork. 
(8) Access to Capital (crowdfunding and beyond) 
Barrier two: Lack of Mentorship. Leveraging the social capital of our community, entrepreneurs trade knowledge and refine their skills through the Talent Exchange. Talent Exchange Sessions use the Kiva Method, a facilitation technique developed by the indigenous people of Southwest Texas. The Kiva Method is an interactive and practical process that leverages participant experience to exchange knowledge and create peer-to-peer support networks. In these sessions, we match participants with coaches (skill-based support) and mentors (industry experts). Typically, coaches commit one hour or more to supporting an entrepreneur with skills development; whereas advisors commit to eight months of bi-monthly check-ins, provide industry knowledge, and connect the entrepreneur to their networks. ­
We will routinely follow-up with participants to ensure they are connecting to the expertise they need. Participants will be matched to an average of eight coaches and mentors.
The digital version of the Talent Exchange is called Talent Hive. The Talent Hive platform enables us to create, scale and track coaching and mentorship engagements without the need for events. When one entrepreneur trains another, they receive a “Karma coins,” which allows them to exchange services within the community. The value of Karma coins fluctuates depending the scarcity of skills on the platform at any given time.
Barrier three: Access to Capital. Our solution to the lack of access to capital for under-represented founders is to leverage new legislation and viral community amplification to tap into millions of unaccredited investors via Facebook Live. Our Street Pitch program transforms the traditional pitch competition by mobilizing a collective of organizations to democratize who is involved, what they win, and how they are showcased. Street Pitch features a jam-packed line up of Street Entrepreneur’s grittiest founders. The entrepreneurs pitch their companies to a panel of judges, angel investors, community supporters and the audience. Through a nationwide network of over 100+ partners, Street Pitch livestreams to the world, allowing the audience to vote with their money by directly investing in their favorite entrepreneur through crowdfunding campaigns, product purchases, and in-kind contributions.</agency_description><date_added>2018-05-15T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2019-09-13T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>JULIANA CARDONA</contact><phone>1-202-716-9948</phone><address>1500 Massachusetts Ave NW</address><city>WASHINGTON</city><state>DC</state><zip_code>20005</zip_code><agency_url>http://streetentrepreneurs.org</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=86208"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.035511246 38.906510178)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-j6nk~tqtf.tdpw" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-08C8-0D8F58B710F7" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-j6nk~tqtf.tdpw"><agency_id>76555</agency_id><agency_name>Olney Mill Community Association</agency_name><agency_description>The student volunteers would help with various community events.  For example, our 4th of July picnic needs volunteers to help with setting up tables and chairs, decorations, trash management, popcorn making.  Our Halloween and Easter events needs volunteers to help run games and pass out prizes.  Our park clean up days requires students to go through our parks and pick up trash.

Thank you to all the volunteers, friends, families, schools and companies who donated to KINDH - every single donation of your time and money makes a difference!  Your generosity helped a lot of kids!     
We also want to thank our fantastic delivery teams, individual volunteers and the amazing Montgomery County Police MCPD and Fire Teams MCFD.  We also delivered several big items - 8 bikes, a bassinet and stroller for a newborn, a fully decorated christmas tree and several BEDS with all the bedding!
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
For each of the families, we provide each child with toys and clothes from their wish list.  The most popular toy requests were Legos, baby dolls, Barbies and the Barbie Dream House, Squishmallows, Hot Wheels, action figures, trucks, games, arts &amp; crafts, educational toys and books. Most of the clothing items were coats, clothes for school, socks, sneakers, warm boots, sweaters and pants/leggings. For the teenagers, we give them gift cards to VISA and/or Target, Starbucks and Amazon so they could pick out their own gifts.  We also provided each family a $50-150 dollar gift card for their holiday meal.  We also donated 50 new coats to the Mont. County Head Start coat closet for children that come to school without a coat. SUPPORTING A FAMILY
We had a TON of fabulous shoppers this year.  Without their support we would never be able to adopt so many families.  We had many wonderful folks that adopted between one (1) to ten (10) families. This year we had so many shoppers, there are too many to list! 
A special thanks to the students and families of Potomac Elementary School, Beverly Farms Elementary School, Wayside Elementary School, Seven Locks Elementary School, Georgetown Hill Early School (both the Potomac Village Campus and the Bells Mill/Potomac Campus) and the Winston Churchill High School Athletic Department for all their donations and support.  Together these schools and their families sponsored over 250 children. 
We also want to thank Xerox Corporation, Shapiro &amp; Duncan Inc, Financial Advantage Associates Inc., The Bender JCC of Greater Washington, The Neighborhood of Washingtonian Woods, Adobe Systems, FTI Consulting, AFCEA International, Salesforce, Financial 360, Baker Tilly, Definitive Logic, OJC Consulting, Dignari, MassMutual of Greater Washington, Pioneer, Marriott International, AECOM, Modern Oral and Facial Surgery, Voltera, Edgeworth Economics, Potomac Management Resources, Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, Dine Development Corp who "adopted" many families, donated money, toys and food gift cards; and even helped deliver.
A special shoutout of appreciation to Joan Roth, Amy Aquilino, Michele Peters and Gina Shawl for everything they do each and every year to support KINDH!  We could not help so many families without their leadership and support!
WRAPPING
Thank you for the wrapping volunteers this year.  Thank you to the Potomac Palatine Neighborhood Book Club and the B'nai Tzedek Sisterhood and my amazing friends who came over to wrap, wrap and wrap more!
DELIVERY
A special thanks to the KINDH Delivery Teams and the Montgomery County Police MCPD and Fire Departments MCFD for delivering the gifts this year.  Without the Police and Fire helping our organization, we would not be able to deliver to the homes of the families.  A special shout out to Lieutenant Irvin Smith and Lieutenant Kathy Estrada for helping us organize the deliveries in advance of our 2 delivery days!  
I also want to thank the Montgomery County Head Start FSWs and the School Counselors for all their assistance getting the last minute packages to the families 
In Summary......
I have been coordinating this program for 23 years and it is amazing to see what has evolved over the years and how we can pull together as a community to help others in need.  We started with a few volunteers donating money and adopting 10 families and now with donations from friends, families and companies we are able to provide for many families.

Students from the US visit foreign countries to teach for a week. During this period, students are able to put their knowledge to use and bring American-style teaching to underprivileged classrooms. Besides teaching, students are exposed to a different side of local culture. Classroom interactions and daily activities allow for an exchange of culture.
Prior to traveling students create and prepare material. Students begin from basic ideas and eventually, end up with tangible results and detailed plan. Crafting specific plans, like reading material and how to present, allows students the chance to not only discover what it's like to be on the other side of the classroom, but also gives the experience of leadership and working in a group. Everything needed to be used in the school for the Chinese students, is decided by the students. Meetings begin several months before going to the school and are conducted weekly.

There are maximum age limits where a player may be no older as of August 31, YY than a specific age and players who may be academically accelerated may play in what might be considered their natural age grade depending on their birthdate.  For more details on the specific eligibility rules for your child please see the AAU websites above and select the Eligibility tab.  
By joining the AAU through the Classics Basketball AAU club, individual players and teams are provided with insurance coverage for practices and games and are eligible to play in the PVAAU Spring Regional tournament, usually in April/May, which qualifies teams for the AAU National Championship tournaments in June/July.  Classics Basketball maintains a website to provide players and families with important information about our team program and expectations, clinics, tournaments, leagues and tryouts at www.classicsbasketball.com. Please visit it often to keep current on happenings in the club, performance of our teams, and the AAU basketball world.
Student volunteers will have opportunities to assist in tryouts, league game operations, and/or training clinics.  For tryouts, this entails helping with  set up and to manage the event registration table, collect and account for fees from participants, assist with facility set up and clean up, and check in participants to ensure they have the proper application forms and materials, For league game operations, volunteers will be assigned to run the concession stand if one is set up, run the game clock/scoring unit and/or keep the score book as well as help with gym set up and clean up.  Some knowledge of how to score the game of basketball and/or run a scoring unit is needed and the minimum age for being a the scorers table is 15.  For helping with clinics and/or coaching, volunteers need to have a pretty solid basketball skill level and knowledge of the game with some basketball playing experience typically travel team and high school varsity or JV team experience, and must know how to teach younger participants generally 5th grade or younger the fundamentals of basketball. Generally clinic.team coach volunteers need to be at least 13 years of age and be able to demonstrate their basketball skills/knowledge of the game

Where safe and doable, students are also encouraged to get FULLY vaccinated and opt in to volunteer in our In-Persson concerts held in Montgomery County and Howard County, Maryland.
During the end of year holiday season, students also have the opportunity to make homemade holiday cards to be delivered to 20+ assisted living facilities in Maryland.

For preschool students, those ages 3 to 6, the programs have the main purpose to teach children of this age group the basic skills of reading, writing and speaking Russian. For elementary students, (from the 1st to 4th grades) an educational complex for ?heritage? children is used. This includes manuals on Russian language, reading and history, as specially developed by the Russian World Foundation for Russian heritage students living abroad. Within this program students learn Russian grammar, become familiar with Russian classical literature for children, the history of Slavic people, Russian cultural traditions and folklore. For older students, including those in the middle and high school grades, equivalent textbooks of schools of the Russian Federation are used and adapted as necessary. These students study Russian classical and modern literature and history. They learn how to write compositions in Russian and how to speak the Russian language well, including how to express their thoughts logically and grammatically. The aim of the program is to educate students on the basis of humanism, love and protection of the natural environment. For our senior students we designed a course based on Russian Cultural and Historical Heritage and a program to prepare them to take the Prototype AP Russian Language Examination. Additionally, a program on Russian as a Foreign Language is also available for the beginners. This program is designed especially for the students without previous knowledge of the Russian language. Importantly, to complement our educational programs, we also offer classes which focus on creative and intellectual disciplines, such as, drawing, drama, chess, and crafts. Subject to demand, we are also considering to offer classes in mathematics, Kazakh language and robotics.

Money raised through our Kensington Christmas Tree lot is rolled back into the community.
The annual NCOC Junior Golf Championships attracts ~100 metro area junior golfers who are trying to qualify for the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships at Doral Resort and Spa in Miami. The event requires support personnel (no golf experience needed) to help set up, register players, assemble gift bags, assist the starter, and pack up. The golf tournament is for youth so the volunteers will be working with other youth.
One goal is for the players to be able to apply the lessons learned on the golf course to their daily lives.

Individuals must be 18 years of age. Completion of a training course is required.

The International Rescue Committee's Silver Spring Office has been resettling refugees in the Washington, DC area since 2006. Our mission is to help newly arrived refugees become independent and self-sufficient by assisting them with services such as temporary financial assistance, job search and placement, immigration services, cultural and community orientation, and referrals for English language study, health, education and social services. 
By volunteering with the IRC in Silver Spring, MD, you use your skills to help people who have fled violence and persecution to rebuild their lives in America. Student volunteers can participate as tutors to middle and high school students.

We offer five primary programs: Academy, Recreation, Classic, Select Travel, and Futsal. Our Instructional Academy (ages 3-8) is divided into two segments: a regular academy for ages 3-6 and transition academy for ages 7&amp;8. Our academy teaches children elementary soccer skills in a fun, engaging, and non-competitive environment to foster early physical and psychological development. Our Community Soccer Programs (ages 9-18) continues the focus on positive coaching and progresses into higher skill development. The Community Soccer program emphasizes character development, fitness and healthy living, improvement of skills, sportsmanship, and pure fun on the field. DSC also provides Select Travel experiences through NCSL and EDP. 
Finally, DSC is the Maryland partner to Stoke City Potters and Global Image Sports. As part of this network, we provide ID and Development camps to all players in the Maryland, DC, Virginia, and West Virginia region. Camps are coached by world-class coaches flown over from the Stoke Academy in England. 20% of the kids who participate in our ID camps at the state level will qualify for national camp in Georgia. 5% of the kids from National Camp will be offered a free ride to an EPL level training academy in Europe. The remaining 20% will also get invites to the European academy but will need to pay their own way.

RYP provides youth the courage, training, and tools to achieve their goals through activities related to goal-setting, education, fundraising, and volunteer service to turn their dreams into action. The D.R.E.A.M. Curriculum is an educational program, that clearly lays out the road map for youth to set their own goals and take action to achieve them. It's easy to follow and easy to remember with its 5 Step/10 Lesson curriculum. D.R.E.A.M. uses a two-pronged approach, having the students set both a Community Dream as well as a Personal Dream, in order to show that the D.R.E.A.M. approach can be applied to any situation. This program was created to get youth to think and to D.R.E.A.M. Its first lesson was created to jump start that process before any goals are even thought about or set, by having the students write an essay defining "What Reach Your Peak means to me", in 250 words or less. The top essays from each school will be sent to RYP and the winners will be chosen by our selection committee. Grants of varying monetary value will be awarded to those schools whose student(s) have been selected not only for their essay, but also for how successfully they took action to reach their goals. These grants will be used to further meet the needs of their school or communities.

With the continued expansion of residential and commercial development into traditionally agricultural areas our children are becoming disconnected with the realities of food sources and production. The MOO provides an excellent resource bridging the gap between producer and consumer. The MOO is housed in a 1930 dairy barn and has displays and exhibits primarily from the first half o the 20th Century. In addition there are activities for children to milk a model cow, make a cow themed craft, run a model B&amp;O train that influenced the growth of the dairy industry in Montgomery County and play old-fashioned games.
At the King Barn Dairy MOOseum student volunteers do a variety of tasks from this following list (depending on what is happening the particular day they are volunteering)
* work with children visitors in the craft room to make a craft
* play old fashioned games on the side yard with visitors
* play/observe children visitors play in the children's room (this room is currently closed due to covid)
* assist visitors with "milking" one of the milkable cow models
* tally visitors who come in the barn
* welcome visitors to the barn and give a brief overview (after receiving training)
* give tours (after receiving training)
* help straighten up - such as sweep, dust, etc. - if needed
* assist with opening the barn (start video monitors, turn on lights, put water in the milkable cow model, put old fashioned games on the side yard, put out "open" flag, etc.)
* assist with closing (shut down video monitors, turn off lights, empty water in the milkable cow model, bring the old fashioned games back into the barn. take down the "open" flag. etc.)

Our vision is to help single parents  thrive and become self-sufficient, confident achievers and leaders in our community. OJT will achieve this vision through our mission to teach critical life skills single parents in a healthy, empowering environment. OJT offers a transitional program that integrates safe and low-cost housing, multiple skills training, and supportive services critical to the success of single parents and their families.
The primary goal of our program is to enable and teach single parents how to sustainably improve the quality of life for themselves and their family. The parents served by OJT will learn to identify their goals and develop and implement a plan for achieving those goals. They also will learn specific skills that will position them to obtain higher paying jobs and, if they choose, achieve the American dream of home ownership. When parents embrace life-changing skills, they often want those same lessons and opportunities for their children.</agency_description><date_added>2019-09-08T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2019-12-26T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Shirley Ann Ford</contact><phone>1-301-792-7224</phone><address>1509 Arbor View Road</address><city>Silver Spring</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20902</zip_code><agency_url>http://www.ourjourneythrough.org</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=104243"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.034420006 39.062978015)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-3ziq.cfv9.ae47" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-77BA-AEA77CD59BDC" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-3ziq.cfv9.ae47"><agency_id>156272</agency_id><agency_name>Black Student Fund</agency_name><agency_description>Our organization accomplishes its mission by hosting School Fairs, Scholarship Clubs, Math Clubs and Summer Youth Employment Programs</agency_description><date_added>2024-01-03T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2024-01-05T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Julianne Marie Robertson</contact><phone>+12023871414</phone><address>3636 16th ST., NW</address><city>Washington</city><state>DC</state><zip_code>20010</zip_code><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=156272"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.037265076 38.936435752)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-3srv~nbs2-zbuj" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-5D7A-7EB96A1E1189" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-3srv~nbs2-zbuj"><agency_id>122181</agency_id><agency_name>Pop for a Cause, Inc.</agency_name><agency_description>Pop for a Cause, Inc. sells popcorn for fundraising for a variety of causes.

Volunteers facilitate high quality learning by gaining knowledge and details about other people in the community that aren't doing as well as they are.  Many people in our community need food and clothing, or just want basic items such as batteries for their radio.  Our volunteers provide these needs and wants to people by using real world interpersonal skills to determine what each person needs or wants, purchasing the needs and wants, then delivering the needs and wants to the people.  Throughout the process the volunteers reflect on how much they have; how many people go through life without the ability to purchase needs and wants at will; and hopefully develop an understanding of what else needs to be done and figure out a way to do it.  SSL volunteers will organize orders provided by their supervisor.  SSL volunteers will use technology to pinpoint the most vulnerable people in need.

Volunteers also assist us with community service events, where we package food into bags, distribute food to people in need, and share community resources. They also aid us by researching information about organizations in our local communities, so we can connect people with those organizations to help them with housing, food, clothes, health, education, jobs, financial resources, and community support systems.

Bethesda Green works to cultivate innovative “eco-entrepreneurs” and incubate green business development to ensure compatibility between economic development and environmental protection. We also advise existing local businesses through B-Corps certification on best practices for sound governance, support for workers, and sustainability
The Be Green Innovation Lab includes both a business incubator and accelerator built on the premise of nurturing green and social impact start- ups to accelerate their success as companies with purpose. Participation in the Lab provides numerous tangible and intangible benefits from incubation services and non-equity-linked financial awards. Differentiators include program-embedded social and environmental impact benchmarking and improvement tools via our Be Green for B Corps Program, along with offering a strong, established community network at a dedicated address.
Be Green for B Corp provides participating companies with tools and Workshop Series to benchmark, express and improve their triple-bottom-line impact (people, profit, planet). Through this program, our region is encouraging the triple-bottom-line business philosophy, so that one day, companies thrive not only to be the best, but also to attract the best for workers, and improve communities and the environment.
Be Green Living
Bethesda Green works to elevate community engagement and engage in programs that address environmental challenges through projects that enhance the quality of life for local residents. Part of this community-driven work includes an Environmental Leaders program to support environmental education, cultivating the next generation of visionary green leaders.
Be Green Projects represents our hands-on work to improve the community. This includes stormwater management, street-level community recycling, and improving access to green space, energy, and transportation.
Be Green Education is driven by our Environmental Leaders program, which enables high school seniors to have professional mentors guide them through their senior year environmental science projects, hopefully creating the next generation of environmental leaders and advocates.

PPMW is the oldest &amp; largest provider of family planning services in metropolitan Washington, serving DC, Maryland &amp; Northern Virginia.
 
PPMW's Peer Education program is a student volunteer opportunity where youth learn about sexual and reproductive health and learn skills on how to convey that information to their peers through formal presentations and informal conversations.  Students are trained and part of the program for 1 semester, though have the option to continue to volunteer as an assistant trainer, training the new set of peer educators.  We hope to change the conversation about sexual and reproductive health so that more youth know the facts and know what they can do about it.
 
This year, we are doing peer education virtually by reaching out to the community via social media.

Fostering awareness of citizenship, scholarship and youth leadership, The Ethiopian Heritage Society of North America (EHSNA) builds bridges between the past, present and the future by promoting a fraternal attitude of respect for new ideas while nurturing and preserving our historical heritage. The Ethiopian Heritage Society of North America (EHSNA) will host an annual (3) day Festival to be held in the District of Columbia every year on the first week of July. The festival will showcase the historical, cultural, artistic, athletic and culinary treasures, creativity and talent of our community at large. This will be achieved through the sponsorship of lecture series, stage productions, art exhibits, athletic activities and the recognition of past and new achievements within the Ethiopian community both in the Diaspora &amp; Ethiopia. Our goal is to bring together cross generationally Ethiopians and Ethiopian Americans/Canadians of all walks of life and Ethiopian organizations together annually to amplify our cultural diversity and to ?Celebrate &amp; Discover Our Heritage?. Core Value: The Ethiopian Heritage Society of North America (EHSNA) embrace diversity and values collaboration and we believe our goals can only be accomplished through working together as individuals &amp; groups. We encourage open honest and respectful dialogue as the best way of addressing complex issues. Our aim is to build open and trusting relationships within our community and to encourage Excellence as a means of building a strong and viable community with a united Voice to become the master of our own destiny. The Ethiopian Heritage Society is committed to social justices and freedom from which democracy springs. Democracy requires mutual respect, patience, the ability to compromise and achieve a common objective, an intention that transcends narrow self interest, and an integrity that fosters trust. In short freedom without responsibility will not build community or democracy. We, aim to be role models for the new generation of Ethiopians and Ethiopian descendants born in the Diaspora.</agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2023-12-08T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Mekonen Bayssie</contact><phone>+16154985340</phone><address>1317 Orden Street NE, #4</address><city>Washington</city><state>DC</state><zip_code>20002</zip_code><agency_url>http://ehsna.org/</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=76161"/><geo_location>POINT (-76.984862926 38.903453047)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-a25a-km4t~2tvn" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-632D-C1BBF0ED07D5" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-a25a-km4t~2tvn"><agency_id>76775</agency_id><agency_name>The Cantonese School Of Greater Washington</agency_name><agency_description>Our immersion-based program, designed for students from ages 3 to 17, focuses on developing speaking, reading, and writing skills.

Climate change is a crucial factor in limiting water resources, food availability, health, education, and economic opportunity in the Azawak region of Niger.  The dry landscape contributes to poverty and lack of opportunity. Women migrate to other countries for meager wages, children cannot attend school, and young girls have to carry out the water chore, walking many miles in search of a source of water. 
We want to spread awareness about nature-based solutions to mitigate climate change.  Our goal is to contribute towards Africa's Great Green Wall by regenerating marshes, pastures and forests to be year-round resources. 
 
Volunteers
We need student volunteers to help at events, act as social media ambassadors, and start advocacy groups at their school. We'd like to start Amman Imman Regenerate Earth clubs at schools.

Our programs include one-on-one mentorship, peer support groups, social meetups, educational/grief seminars, in-home volunteer assistance &amp; more. We also offer connections to local resources, and provide our own widowed checklist to help members understand their post-bereavement responsibilities. Finally, we have blog and video series that help to educate and inspire, while creating comradery in experiences.
According to the US Census report there are over 680,000 widowed persons living in DC, Maryland &amp; Virginia. Many of these residents have no organized system of support and many lack knowledge regarding services available to assist them in their grieving and recovery. One third of those over the age of 65 are widowed, and nearly 20% of widowed women are under the age of 45.
Many people remain unprepared to navigate life after the death of a spouse or partner - and are desperate for the resources and support that Widow Care can provide. These residents are at high risk for isolation, depression and job loss. In this transient metropolitan area, many lack local family and friends to act as a support network during loss. Seemingly simple tasks like lawn mowing, home maintenance and budget management can become daunting tasks.
Widow Care is here to help fill that void by linking widows to community resources and fellow widowed "travelers" through social opportunities. To accomplish this goal, Widow Care offers a new and improved website that will serve as a repository for resources and support for widows.
We are seeking board members with a variety of skills and experience to help us realize our mission. The time commitment is small, but the benefits are many - helping widowed persons of all ages in our community. Conveniently located in Rockville at 795 Rockville Pike, our office is in a Long &amp; Foster 2-story, brick building (between a PNC bank and IHOP). Please help the often forgotten members of our community. For more information, contact our Director of Marketing &amp; Outreach, Marissa Martin, by emailing marissa@widowcare.org or calling 301-917-4741.</agency_description><date_added>2017-08-22T00:00:00</date_added><date_updated>2020-09-03T00:00:00</date_updated><status>active</status><mcps_ssl>No</mcps_ssl><contact>Julia Carta</contact><phone>1-301-917-4741</phone><address>795 Rockville Pike</address><city>Rockville</city><state>MD</state><zip_code>20852</zip_code><agency_url>https://www.widowcare.org/</agency_url><agency_link url="https://montgomerycountymd.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=76887"/><geo_location>POINT (-77.140689966 39.077232992)</geo_location></row><row _id="row-gg86-9h9m-rnpb" _uuid="00000000-0000-0000-4C10-9F5BB388711E" _position="0" _address="https://data.montgomerycountymd.gov/resource/w8uy-4bau/row-gg86-9h9m-rnpb"><agency_id>117190</agency_id><agency_name>Ahavah Foundation</agency_name><agency_description>We are a registered 501 3c organization that provides support to the community 1.

Until these steps are taken, WCCW asserts that Japan should not be permitted a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.

We are holding weekly classes for different age groups for paper folding and/or Korean language classes. These classes provide training and educational courses to produce future leaders of paper folding and culture. This provides special training especially for younger children with exceptional talents in paper arts. We issue certificates and provide continuing education to trainers, instructors, and masters in the field of paper culture. In the future, we are planning on not only continuing the previously mentioned activities, but to reach out further to provide wider cultural experiences for members of our organization. Some activities are to start up Korean cooking, traditional dance, and traditional/contemporary music classes to further enhance cultural understanding. If the non-profit organization receives further benefits, we plan to hold a cultural understanding and language proficiency program over the summer which allows students to go abroad to South Korea and experience the native lives there.
