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
June Pillar: Fairness
This month’s pillar is FAIRNESS and we’re inviting the community to keep the conversation going at the dinner table with a few simple discussion prompts.
-
What does “that’s not fair” usually mean when someone says it? Do you think it always means the same thing?
-
Can something be fair even if everyone doesn’t get the same thing? Why or why not?
-
Tell about a time when something felt unfair to you — but later you understood it differently after seeing another perspective.
-
How do needs and wants affect what fairness looks like for different people?
