A little about Lead4Life, Inc.:  

 Lead4Life, Inc. (L4L) was founded in 2008 in an effort to reduce the number of youth entering the juvenile justice system, the number of out-of-home placements, and the youth recidivism rate. L4L’s programs are developed utilizing restorative practices, strength-based and Positive Youth Development models. These programs help youth and families address negative behaviors that all too often result in involvement with our criminal justice system. 

L4L staff, mentors, and volunteers work together to empower individuals to develop positive life, social and competency skills, enabling them to become productive community members. Services such as alternative to detention programs, diversion, and grassroots mentoring are provided both in the community and in youth detention facilities.

Montgomery County's Adopt A Road (AAR) program encourages residents and businesses in the County to participate in a community activity by keeping our roadsides litter free.  Currently there are more than 5,000 volunteers who have adopted over 450 road segments in an effort to Keep Montgomery County Beautiful. You can be a part of this program too! 

Your participation will help reduce trash and litter along County roads and maintain a clean and attractive environment.  Ultimately it helps protect the Chesapeake Bay.  Litter that is washed into storm drains, travels to nearby creeks, streams, major rivers, and eventually can reach the Bay.

With the amount of trash littered on the roadside every day, and budget constraints within the County resulting in less mowing and road cleaning, your involvement has becoming increasingly important. AAR allows residents to demonstrate community pride, make a positive statement for a clean and attractive community, and have a better understanding of storm water pollution. Help make Montgomery County a “Greener” place to live!

An application must be filled out in order to participate, visit: https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/dot-dir/AdoptARoad/index.html

*WHO WE ARE*

Widow Care's Mission

Widow Care’s mission is to provide targeted and accessible content & connections to DC,
Maryland and Virginia residents facing the loss of a spouse, so they can become empowered in their walk through grief and new challenges. We do so by providing peer support groups, social meet-ups, mentorship & education to help members regain stability after tragedy.

There are 680,204 widowed men and women living in DC, Maryland and Virginia. Furthermore, 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 are widowed. While widowhood is so incredibly widespread, few resources exist to aid surviving spouses in their transition into widowhood.

Widowed persons are at an increased risk of depression, social isolation and serious health problems, and we aim to combat this by creating a strong and supportive network comprised of understanding individuals. We encourage members to attend entertaining and enjoyable events, while also encouraging them to find a support system which allows them to speak about their challenges. Our educational programs & local service connections aim to make the transition into widowhood easier by offering pertinent services & education.

Widow Cares Vision

Our founders’ vision for the organization involves widow(er)s helping other widow(er)s. We walk with our members throughout their healing process by offering specialized care & support, and we enable them to "give back" by donating their time or funds to help other widowed persons in the community. We aim to offer the highest level of support by connecting individuals with a multitude of resources, not limited to our own events/programs. We strive to work with other nonprofits, support groups & organizations in our area to ensure ample support.

Widow Cares Core Values

Widow Care incorporates 4 main core values into all of our programs, operations & communications: Compassion, Care, Community & Empowerment.

Volunteers review out-of-home placement cases of children in the public foster care system to make recommendations regarding the well-being, safety, and permanency in the best interest of the child. Volunteers provide individual case advocacy and there are also opportunities for leadership in legislative advocacy

"When asked to share why I volunteer on the Frederick County Citizens Review Board (CRBC), I immediately thought of The Starfish Story adapted from a book by Loren Eiseley. This story tells the tale of a young boy who frantically tries to save starfish stranded on a beach by throwing them back into the sea - one by one. A skeptic tells the young boy he is wasting his time, and he cannot make a difference to the thousands of starfish on the beach. The young boy picks up a starfish, throws it in the water, and says, It makes a difference to that one. Making a difference in the life of each child in foster care is an important focus for me. For this reason, after hearing about the CRBC from a former state CRBC staff member, I have been volunteering on the CRBC in Frederick County for eleven years. By volunteering, I am able to review cases to ensure the needs of each child are taken care of while in out-of-home placement. In addition, as part of the review process, I can also make recommendations that lead to a loving, safe, and permanent home for each child after he/she leaves the system. For me, each case I review matters - one by one. My hope is by serving on the Frederick County CRBC and advocating on behalf of children in foster care, I can make a difference in the lives of these children that will matter now and will have a positive, lasting impact for generations to come." - Wanet Tyson, CRBC Volunteer

The National Museum of Health and Medicine is not just another Washington, D.C.-area museum. The museum began as a national repository for materials relating to Civil War injuries. Back then, Surgeon General William Hammond told field medical officers to collect "specimens of morbid anatomy...together with projectiles and foreign bodies removed" and forward them to the museum to be studied in hopes of improving medical conditions.

The specimens and artifacts in the museum were the first collection in the country and is the only one in the nation's capital registered as a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
