We develop events and projects for Montgomery County educators, students, League members and the general public. For educators, we sponsor an annual professional development workshop on civic education. For county high school students, we develop Student Service Learning (SSL) opportunities with the mentorship of a League member. These have been conducted remotely since the beginning of the pandemic. The objective is to provide the student(s) with SSL credits required for high-school graduation while pursuing meaningful civic engagement, as well as contributing to an important League initiative, such as the Observer Corps, the Resource Committee on County Revenues, and social media Get Out The Vote activities. We also assist with Montgomery College student service activities. We partner with the Membership Committee in ongoing outreach to new student members. Additionally, we have a joint project with the Making Democracy Work Committee and Observer Corps to develop resources on how government works.
