Celebrating a Decade of Service: Veritas BranchOut! Receives Maryland Governor's Citation

Ethan Gao, a junior at River Hill High School, is holding the certificate.

The Maryland Governor's Citation serves as a symbol of honor, recognizing the remarkable contributions of individuals and organizations dedicated to enhancing their communities. This year, we are excited to announce that BranchOut! has been awarded this esteemed recognition, highlighting not only our tenth anniversary but also the significant impact we have achieved together.

For the past decade, BranchOut! has been a steadfast advocate for education and cross-cultural understanding across the DMV region. Our passionate teams in Howard County (HoCo) and Baltimore City have poured their hearts into this mission. Just last year, our dedicated HoCo mentors excelled by contributing over 1,600 service hours across 20 Howard County public schools, exemplifying their relentless spirit to make a lasting difference in the lives of others within Maryland.

With heartfelt gratitude, we extend our thanks to all our incredible BranchOut! mentors and supporters. Let us come together to celebrate this significant achievement and the impact our volunteers have on the students we serve.
