FUNDS TO SUPPORT:
Germaine Lawrence's Fund for Excellence is committed to
advancing and supporting the agency's mission of providing
adolescent girls the highest quality residential treatment
services. Through the Fund for Excellence, we are able to
support programs and activities that are not covered by
state reimbursement and that are crucial to serving the
girls in our care. Your far-reaching and unrestricted gift
will support the operating budget of the agency, and the
services we provide to over 250 adolescent girls each year.

The Enrichment Fund provides mini-grants for
projects and special requests that provide new
and exciting experiences that will enrich the
lives of the girls served at Germaine Lawrence.
Through this fund, students have been able to
take dance or swimming lessons, create gardens,
go on horseback riding trips, buy uniforms for
their basketball team, attend theater performances
at the Wang Center, and participate in other
special opportunities. Contact
us for more information on how you can support
our Enrichment Fund. | make a donation |
Our gymnasium has become increasingly inadequate to meet
the needs of our girls. The room is in high demand for physical
education classes, on-campus performances, and special events.
It is the only space we have that is large enough for all-school
activities and programs.
We are seeking funds to replace the windows, for a new
heating and air conditioning system, to refurbish the floors,
to paint and to replace equipment.
Physical education, recreation and performances are important
elements of our program. Contact
us for more information.

In 2001, Our Board of Directors adopted a campus
master plan to create a state-of-the-art campus
with homes specially designed to safely and effectively
serve our girls.
We have built three new treatment centers and developed
two off-street parking lots. To complete the campus master
plan, we will begin construction on the final new building
later this year. In addition, we are relandscaping our campus.
Our goal is to improve campus safety, campus circulation,
and use of our outdoor space. Underlying these practical
concerns is our desire to make the campus an attractive
and inviting space for our students and their families.
There are several components to our landscape improvements:
-
Upgrading our pathways, which are steeply sloped and
are difficult to navigate in the winter.
- Installing
benches near pathways, handrails on paths, and adding stairs
where the slope is excessively steep.
- Adjusting
lighting to make our paths safer at night.
We recently relandscaped
the center of our campus and transformed it into an attractive,
amphitheater-type space with seating areas that can be used
for outdoor classrooms and recreation. Contact
us for more information.
