Welcome to Episode 10 of the Beyondrhetoric.org Podcast. In this episode, we talk with youth who volunteered at our Chipotle fundraiser. In the state of Maryland, students must complete service learning hours as part of their graduation requirement. According to the Maryland State Department of Education website, Maryland is the first state in the nation to implement this requirement. So, Beyond Rhetoric helped students in the state fulfill a graduation requirement while completing successful fundraiser. Students were expected to canvas near Chipotle in College Park Maryland. They encouraged people to “Eat For Change,” the slogan for the fundraiser. We used a large QR code on a clipboard so people could simply scan the code at a safe distance. The adults split up the youth, and we walked the campus of the University of Maryland and near and around Chipotle. Afterwards, we were able to ask the volunteers (which included my sons, Spencer and Barack), about their experience, earning Service Learning Hours.
