We're excited to kick off our starting at the South Bowie Community Center! Workshops will run biweekly through December 2025.
Volunteer signup slots are now live, and they tend to fill up fast.
Opportunities include:
- Presenting on key workshop topics
- Creating impactful PSA videos
- Leading motivational messages
- Helping with setup and breakdown and activities
All Presenter and PSA editor roles come with detailed prep materials and will be sent to the student's personal email (do not provide school email) upon signup. All PSA Videos are due Friday, 09/19/2025!
Plus food and drinks will be provided at each workshop!
Additionally, all Presenter roles require a virtual meeting prior to the date of the event (Saturday 9/20/2025) at a convenient time to be determined by the program facilitator with the student volunteer. Parental permission is REQUIRED for the presenter role (see forms below).

Please note the following guidelines for student service through live virtual platforms: A student’s parent/guardian must provide the nonprofit with written approval of the student’s participation in the virtual platform prior to the student serving/volunteering. Students must use personal/private accounts (not MCPS student accounts) to engage in the virtual platform. Students will only engage with others under the direct supervision of a nonprofit supervisor. The nonprofit supervisor will be directly present in the virtual space (including any breakout sessions) at all times. The nonprofit supervisor will initiate and host all virtual sessions. If the nonprofit supervisor is not available to initiate and host the virtual session, the session will not occur. Virtual sessions will not be recorded. Students should not share or upload any videos, pictures, or images of themselves, unless the nonprofit organization has 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.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy at any time the student is interacting with the nonprofit and its clients. The nonprofit organization will determine the number of SSL hours awarded based on the evidence submitted. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns. This service activity is designed to be completed within the safety of the student’s home.
