St. Augustine's Academy for Girls- AMY GRIEBE

Last week's meeting featured a speaker was AMY  GRIEBE, from Saint Augustine's Academy for Girls, who told us about the Academy and their mission of providing assistance to young girls who are considered at risk. Local school counselors identify potential candidates, and notify the academy of those in need. St. Augustine features after school programs for girls 7 to 9 years old, in art, music, sports, and yoga/ meditation, all aimed to improve self esteem and build up self confidence. Their goal is to give direction to the girls, build resilience, and help them find hope. The academy is always eager to accept support and help from the community in the form of partnerships and volunteers.
