Making a Difference: A Day of Service at SSMA
As we gear up for our 2026 Day of Service, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the meaningful impact of volunteerism, not just in terms of the projects we’ll work on, but in the lives of those we’re serving. This year, we’re excited to work with Shining Stars Montessori Academy, a public Montessori school in Washington, D.C., that provides a culturally affirming, bilingual education to children in historically underserved communities.
Shining Stars is not just a school; it’s a community rooted in equity, empowerment, and connection. The Day of Service offers an opportunity for volunteers to be a part of that community, giving back to a place where children are supported to grow, learn, and thrive in an environment that embraces their diverse identities. Let’s take a closer look at the incredible work Shining Stars is doing and how our efforts will contribute to their mission.
