STRIVING TO FOSTER HOLISTIC HEALTH
WHAT WE DO
The ELIE Circle Network strives to foster the holistic health of (1) Black girls & Black women and (2) young people & staff in community-based educational spaces (CBES; e.g., afterschool programs, summer camps, libraries, museums, scouts).
ELIE Circle can help community-based educational spaces creatively communicate concepts (e.g., research, entrepreneurship, science, technology, engineering, art, math, reading, social-emotional skills, and physical fitness) to young people through activities/curricula, programs, and events.
Please visit our Lulu Bookstore(opens in new tab) and Teachers Pay Teachers Store(opens in new tab) to purchase any of our created materials. Please visit our Bookshop Shop(opens in new tab) to see our curated lists of books (e.g., Supporting 5th-12th Grade Black Girls in Community-Based Educational Spaces References(opens in new tab) and Middle Grade Books with a Black Girl Main Character(opens in new tab)).
