Mission Statement

We are a small, grassroots humanitarian organization which aims to initiate the cycle of giving back within our community by providing free extracurricular programming to local at-risk youth. Our programming is focused on areas that are decreasingly likely to be included in traditional curricula, such as arts, health and fitness, emotional wellness, environmentalism, and philanthropy. Furthermore, all So What Else programs aim to teach the youth we serve a sense of social responsibility. Since the services we provide are free, we work to instill our core tenet of “paying it forward” in the youth we serve by providing them with opportunities to serve their community at volunteer events.
