The Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture has a very strong gamers group that meets to play board games twice a month. Some of our members and families have asked if there would be an opportunity for families and those interested in more traditional games to join in the fun! The Membership Development Committee decided to do a special All Ages Game Night this coming Friday, January 25th at 6:30 pm.
It will happen at the same time as the usual Game Night, but the 2nd floor library will be specifically for families and players of all ages. If you can come, please RSVP below. If you’d like, please bring a board or card game and a snack to share:

Along with Black History month, February marks the month of Teen Dating Violence Prevention.
Just As I Am YOUth Empowerment along with Ethics for Children of The Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture invites you to a YOUth-led intergenerational workshop to encourage open dialog between youth and significant adults in their community. In partnership with the NYC Alliance Against Sexual Assault, the JAIA YOUth Council found that youth are picking up bad advice about sex, dating and relationsihps from their peers and the media. For many reasons there seems to be a lack of real talk between youth and the significant adults in their lives. Join us for an evening of experiential exercises and discussion and let’s see how we can bridge this gap together as a community!
Lite food and raffle!
Teens/Young Adults age 13-24
Adults 25+ come with or without a Teen
Sponsored by The Citizens Committee Of NY Neighborhood Grant

Yes, Spring is really here, even if we may still have some cold weather!
Join us for a multigenerational festival celebrating the Spring Equinox — that time of year when the day and night are in balance. Lots of activities for kids and adults and some drumming — be prepared, if you’re over 18, to bring out your inner child. Weather permitting, some activities will be outdoors.
The Society’s Ethics Matters theme for March is Journey: the practice of walking a path; courageous growth and patient change.
