Completion of this form, including the actual required signatures, is required by all volunteers to participate in this SSL opportunity.

This is an amazing opportunity to gain volunteer experience helping Arise and Flourish, a non-profit organization based in Montgomery County, Maryland that speaks to students about substance use and misuse. During the last ten years, Arise and Flourish has paved the way through public and private schools on educating our youth of the dangers associated with addiction. Our program delivers a robust and real-life look into the cycle of addiction and provides an understanding, knowledge and insight on how to exercise prevention. Arise and Flourish’s family of dedicated volunteers have delivered our program to more than 350 schools and have reached over 44,000 students with our impactful message of prevention and hope. In addition to our visits to schools, we are also asking for the student’s assistance to continue the education of addiction and prevention through SSL hours. What students will do: Student will first need to complete the volunteer form/parent/guardian permission slip and submit via to e-mail info@ariseandflourish.org. Please note that MCPS has not vetted the YouTube videos created by our organization and parents/guardians are responsible for previewing the videos and then providing parent permission for their students to view the videos. Once approved, students will watch two video presentations provided by our organization. One video is our speakers who are people in recovery who share their personal experience The second video is the presentation on the cycle of addiction which has information on how addiction happens.Students can obtain SSL hours in two ways: Write a 2-page paper on their understanding of drug and alcohol prevention on the information received from the two videos. Papers will only be reviewed by our organization. Create an art project, including a paragraph explaining their artwork, based upon their understanding of prevention on the information they received from the videos. Art projects might be shared on our social media platforms so please review the privacy information below when submitting your project.How to earn community service hours (SSL): Students have the ability to earn 1 SSL hour for the quality completion of this project and can earn up to 4 SSL hours in total (cumulative - not per year) for each speaker video watched and paper written (up to 4 speaker videos along with the one video for the cycle of addiction). When your paper or art project is complete, e-mail info@ariseandflourish.org your 2-page paper or an electronic copy of your art project and paragraph to collect your signed SSL sheet for this project. Students will need to cc their parents as well on the email submission. Please allow 3-5 business days to receive your signed SSL form.

This is an amazing opportunity to gain volunteer experience helping Arise and Flourish, a non-profit organization based in Montgomery County, Maryland that speaks to students about substance use and misuse. During the last ten years, Arise and Flourish has paved the way through public and private schools on educating our youth of the dangers associated with addiction. Our program delivers a robust and real-life look into the cycle of addiction and provides an understanding, knowledge and insight on how to exercise prevention. Arise and Flourish’s family of dedicated volunteers have delivered our program to more than 350 schools and have reached over 44,000 students with our impactful message of prevention and hope. In addition to our visits to schools, we are also asking for the student’s assistance to continue the education of addiction and prevention through SSL hours. What students will do: Student will first need to complete the volunteer form/parent/guardian permission slip and submit via to e-mail info@ariseandflourish.org. Please note that MCPS has not vetted the YouTube videos created by our organization and parents/guardians are responsible for previewing the videos and then providing parent permission for their students to view the videos. Once approved, students will watch two video presentations provided by our organization. One video is our speakers who are people in recovery who share their personal experience The second video is the presentation on the cycle of addiction which has information on how addiction happens.Students can obtain SSL hours in two ways: Write a 2-page paper on their understanding of drug and alcohol prevention on the information received from the two videos. Papers will only be reviewed by our organization. Create an art project, including a paragraph explaining their artwork, based upon their understanding of prevention on the information they received from the videos. Art projects might be shared on our social media platforms so please review the privacy information below when submitting your project.How to earn community service hours (SSL): Students have the ability to earn 1 SSL hour for the quality completion of this project and can earn up to 4 SSL hours in total (cumulative - not per year) for each speaker video watched and paper written (up to 4 speaker videos along with the one video for the cycle of addiction). When your paper or art project is complete, e-mail info@ariseandflourish.org your 2-page paper or an electronic copy of your art project and paragraph to collect your signed SSL sheet for this project. Students will need to cc their parents as well on the email submission. Please allow 3-5 business days to receive your signed SSL form. Privacy: Please, do not share any pictures or likeness of the students as well as personal information such as home address, email or phone number etc. in your paper or artwork. Also, please do not include any real-life pictures or images of yourself. We ask that students include their first name, grade and school only on each submission.

Description: We’re seeking compassionate volunteers to support families in need through our Montgomery County distribution center, which receives thousands of pounds of donated food, clothing, diapers, toys, and essential household items daily. Volunteers play a vital role in ensuring these items reach the people who need them most. Tasks may include distributing food to families, preparing grocery bags for home deliveries, organizing donated goods, assisting with inventory, loading and unloading delivery vehicles, and maintaining a clean and welcoming space for all. This is an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful difference, earn SSL hours, and engage the whole family—children over 10 are welcome to participate with a parent or guardian (required for anyone under 16). Please make sure to wear close-toed shoes when volunteering!
