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
August Pillar: Responsibility
This month’s pillar is RESPONSIBILITY and we’re inviting the community to keep the conversation going at the dinner table with a few simple discussion prompts.
-
What’s something you’re responsible for right now that you’re proud of handling well? What’s something you’re still learning to take responsibility for?
-
Can you think of a time when a small choice led to a big result; good or bad?
-
Who do you think depends on you the most right now? How do you show up for them?
-
What does taking responsibility for your body and mind look like at your age?
