Difference Makers was founded in 2009 by a group of Takoma Park Middle School students. Prior to Difference Makers, students at TPMS were affiliated with Jr. Civitan. Starting with only 6 members, the club has grown to over 200 active middle school students and thousands of alumni
Our mission is to “Change Lives One Step At a Time” by providing opportunities for youth to get involved in service at all levels of our community. We encourage our members to develop Passion Projects and fund them to achieve their goals.
We were founded on three tenets: Scholarship, Leadership, and Citizenship. Members are expected to exemplify growth in all these areas through their experience at Difference Makers.
The organizational objectives are as follows:
- To practice and promote good citizenship in the home, school, community and nation
- To promote high standards of scholarship and conduct in the school
- To serve those in need as all levels of the community
- To develop leadership through unselfish service
- To develop a positive altruistic attitude
- To maintain high academic standards
- To lead by example
- To be a participator not a spectator in the communities around us.
- To Earn SSL Hours
- To be with friends
