Newcomers are always welcome!

Every other week we’re joined by Gabriella Belfiglio, a long-time anti-bullying and self-defense teacher (and award-winning poet!) who will lead children in becoming empowered to express themselves and resolve conflicts with confidence and compassion–to become ‘upstanders’ not merely bystanders.

Children will learn how to stand up for themselves and others, and gain resilience through skill-focused exercises and explorations led by Gabriella. This will be joyful and fun, but will empower children with essential tools to face difficult moments, hurt feelings, and challenging peer pressures at school, on the playground, and beyond.

FREE! Recommended for Ages 7-13

To RSVP, or for any questions, please email Youth and Family Programs Coordinator Audrey Kindred at akindred@nysec.org.
