So What Else strengthens communities through innovative and enriching youth programing in under-served communities, throughout the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan region. Our diverse set of educational and recreational experiences position young people to make sound life choices and realize their full potential. While we don't accept monetary payment from the youth and their families, we instead ask our students to keep the cycle of service going and "pay it forward" to their communities. By infusing all of our programs with our foundational tenet of service learning, we encourage a lifetime of compassion, preparing youth for a future of giving back.
