Enrichment Programs

My Brother's Keeper (M.B.K.) provides leadership and mentorship opportunities to boys in Grades 4 and 5 at P.S. 345. Mentors meet weekly with their small groups and once a month as a whole group. The focus of MBK is to show and help guide our young men to act and be seen in our community and in the world. Topics include social and emotional wellness, personal hygiene and respect for others.

The Girls Empowerment Movement (G.E.M.) provides leadership, mentorship and empowerment opportunities to girls in Grades 4 and 5 at P.S. 345. G.E.M. encourages girls to seek and celebrate their individuality by giving them a safe space, encouragement, structure and support to embrace their journey of self-discovery and self-love. Mentors help girls identify and apply their power and voice as individuals and as a group focusing on issues that are important in the lives of girls centered around the Core Values. Topics include learning about self, connecting with others, and planning for the future as strong, confident young ladies.

The Girl Scouts Program at P.S. 345 is designed to unleash the G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ in every girl, preparing her for a lifetime of leadership.  Girl Scouts is proven to help girls thrive in five key ways as they:

• Develop a strong sense of self. 

• Seek challenges and learn from setbacks. 

• Display positive values. 

• Form and maintain healthy relationships.

• Identify and solve problems in the community.

We have a variety of Troop levels that all provide an inclusive, all-female environment of which creates a safe space where girls can try new things, develop a range of skills, take on leadership roles, and just be themselves.
