Did you know? GP has been active throughout the Pandemic! We have adjusted our programming to continue supporting our mission. Over the past few months, we've held virtual programming for youth and alumni.  During the months of October-December, we offered a FREE five-part Social and Emotional workshop series for public school students in New York City. Each workshop focused on one specific SEL competency: Self Management, Self-awareness, Responsible Decision Making, Social Awareness, and Relationship Skills. Global Potential collaborated with five different individuals who shared their personal and professional experiences with each SEL competency. Special thanks to Amber Keith, Mone Alexander, Manuel Ventura, Marysis Rodriguez, and Joelle Bueno for joining us as guest speakers. Each workshop was designed to enhance participants' understanding of the five SEL competencies through fun and engaging activities. Participants were encouraged to engage in critical thinking, explore their personal relationship with vulnerability, and practice empathy. In total, Global Potential engaged four public high schools across two boroughs in New York City with this program.  Alumni, join us in the Spring for GP UNITE!
