Girls EnCourage®, ages 12-18 (Wednesdays, 6:30-8pm) Meets at 1514 Townsend Ave., Community Room 1
Developed by Girls Inc., this program develops girls’ sense of adventure and problem solving, increasing strength, flexibility and confidence. And it’s one of the most popular classes offered by the Program for Girls & Young Women, because it’s fun! Participants learn to be a team player as well as a leader, supporting one another through positive risk-taking, such as hiking, biking, rock climbing and more. Weekend expeditions once a month—usually Sundays. March 7 – May 30, 2018. Want to sign up? Contact Program Director Joy Leonard at (718) 716-8000 x119, or j.leonard@newsettlement.org.
