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

This summer, we completed construction on the Katharine
E. Merck Treatment Center. The Katharine E. Merck Treatment
Center was designed with our students in mind. The building
has two bright classrooms, a living room and dining room
and large kitchen. There are 14 bedrooms with 4 doubles
and 10 singles. There is a large recreation room and offices
for all program staff.
The Merck program will provide highly structured, individualized
treatment for girls exhibiting a wide range of high-risk
behaviors, including suicide attempts, self-injury, running
away, aggression and drug or alcohol abuse.
As is our custom, we are offering naming opportunities
for the rooms in the Katharine E. Merck Treatment Center.
Funds raised from the naming of the building and rooms will
be used to pay for the implementation of our campus master
plan, including construction costs, furniture, and landscaping.
Naming a room gives us an opportunity to recognize our
supporters, and gives supporters the opportunity to highlight
their support for Germaine Lawrence. Some people opt to
name a room after their family, in memory of a loved one,
or in honor or celebration of someone important to them
or to Germaine Lawrence. In addition to naming the room
after a specific person or family, some people choose a
message that is meaningful to them. Past examples include
messages such as:
In honor of the girls at Germaine Lawrence …
In memory of ...
With deepest appreciation for ...
Tara's Room

a naming option.

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.
