SCHOOL UPDATE: PS 183- Far Rockaway, New York
In the Fall of 2008, SFK New York launched the SFK Club, an after school program for students ages 8-12, who have completed all three levels of the SFK curriculum. The purpose of the SFK Club is to give students an opportunity to share the tools learned in SFK, and to keep the values of the SFK program instilled in each student at home, within their community and around the world.
Since 2007 PS 183- Far Rockaway, located in Queens, New York, has been a model location for SFK programming. The entire body of the school from third through eighth grade has been exposed to the SFK curriculum. Because of this it was an ideal location to launch SFK Club. Read more.

It was the first time I facilitated a class, at the Boys & Girls Club in Roxbury. With approximately 40 students, the class got pretty rowdy through the lesson. So much so, that I wondered if they were getting anything out of it. When the teacher announced there was only five minutes left of class, a young boy at my table turned to look me in the eyes. "Awww, it's over!?," he asked disappointedly. "This was FUN!" I felt so happy that he valued the experience of the class. Read more.
