Character Counts of Queen Anne's County
Building Character Across Our Community
All children and youth need caring, supportive adults in their lives to grow into responsible, confident members of our community.
In Queen Anne’s County, Character Counts! brings that support to life by connecting community volunteers with students, engaging families, and partnering with local organizations and Businesses of Character. Through classroom lessons, community outreach, and shared experiences, we are building a culture where character is valued, practiced, and lived every day.

This Month in Character Counts
November Pillar: Citizenship
This month’s pillar is CITIZENSHIP and we’re inviting the community to keep the conversation going at the dinner table with a few simple discussion prompts.
-
What’s one small thing someone can do to make their community a better place?
-
If you were going to volunteer somewhere this month, where would you want to help and why?
-
What makes Queen Anne’s County feel like “home” to you, and how can we help take care of it together?
