Welcome to Episode 18, our season finale. This season finale corresponds to Beyond Rhetoric's 1 year anniversary. In this episode, Khaalis moderates a discussion with the Beyond Rhetoric Board of Directors, asking them their vision for Beyond Rhetoric in year two. Please listen to what each board member shares for her or his vision. Interestingly, this was the first time this group met face-to-face. There was lots of energy in the room as this group of dynamic volunteers met to meet the needs of youth. This listen is a great way to end the first season. We are not just a podcast.

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.
