A Different World: Led by Ladies & Guided by Gentlemen

A Different World: Led by Ladies & Guided by Gentlemen is a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) based program geared towards youth in grades 3rd-5th, 6th-8th and 9th-12th. It is generally a 10 week program, meeting once a week for 60 mins. Each interactive workshop aims to be relatable, while confronting at least 1 of the 5 core competencies of SEL, which are Self-Awareness, Self- Management, Social-Awareness, Relationship Skills and Responsible Decision Making.

Testimonial

“Working with Serena Joy is …well a joy! As an outreach coordinator, I am always looking for new and engaging ways to reach my audiences, and Serena Joy does just that! Before working with Serena Joy, I had never heard of social-emotional learning but once she explained how she mixed that concept with poetry and crafting, I knew that our program was going to be a success. Even though Ms. Joy had not done a virtual program in the manner we requested before, she was able to effortlessly transfer the lessons and the fun to a virtual space. The kids were having such a blast, that even I had to jump in a game of Simon Says and protect my dream balloon along with them! I loved every second of what Ms. Joy brought to our program’s children and I cannot wait to work with her again!”

Serena Joy is an amazing individual and role-model to all ages. The campers, counselors and I all enjoyed her workshops. The campers were engaged! The passion Serena speaks with is fierce and has you wanting her to never leave. She’s excellent with her communication and punctuality. Can’t wait to book her again!
