“Service Is The Powerful Catalyst In The Cycle Of Humanity”

So What Else is nonprofit organization that provides recreational, fitness, academic, cultural, life skills, and community service programs for at-risk youth in the Washington, D.C Metropolitan Area. We:

• work in their communities, with community leaders, to improve and achieve lasting positive change in their lives;
• form collaborative partnerships with other not-for-profits and public sector youth-focused agencies which allows for leveraging the range of services provided; and
• encourage the youth to incorporate the “pay forward*” tenet into their value system.

So What Else provides the youth a year-round learning environment to provide them with the skills essential for success. This environment:

• focuses on the areas of their lives where they experience the most deficits;
• provides a range of healthy developmental services; and
• offers them approaches to make positive life choices.

We envision communities where at-risk youth realize their potential and improve the communities they live in through sound life choices and service.

(*When someone does a good deed for you, instead of paying them back, “pay it forward” by doing a good deed for someone else.)
