MORE ABOUT…

The Green Chimneys Mission & Philosophy

MISSION: Helping our young people to maximize their potential by providing residential, educational, clinical and recreational services, in a safe and supportive environment that nurtures connections with their families, the community, animals and nature.

From the start, Green Chimneys’ philosophy has been based on the belief that if children are given a chance to explore and discover their inherent strengths in a safe and structured nature-based environment, their self-esteem, compassion, coping and social skills will improve. The concept of an enriched treatment setting that brings people together with animals and plants in a mutually beneficial relationship lies at the foundation of the Green Chimneys approach.

Human-animal contact—and contact with all aspects of nature—can have a profound effect on people; these elements are an integral part of the Green Chimneys campus and organizational identity. Each of our programs celebrate the dignity and worth of all living things and our goal for our children, our staff, and all who partner with us is to bring knowledge and meaning to our relationships with the world, and with each other.

A Commitment to Culture & Community

We are proud of our long history as a leader and innovator in education and therapeutic treatment for children with special needs and as such, our organizational philosophy supports a safe and healing environment. Green Chimneys therapeutic treatment and management practices align with a trauma-informed approach to creating and maintaining an optimal environment for safety and recovery. Established universal values and a shared language help create an environment in which everyone feels safe, respected, and included. It is how we teach skills, set priorities and make decisions, which ultimately, affect those we serve.

Our policies and practices are guided by:

• Creating a Safe and Nurturing Environment
• Emotional Intelligence
• Social Learning
• Shared Governance
• Open Communication
• Social Responsibility
• Growth and Change

This approach is most visible in therapeutic education and behavior management programs for our students but it is fully integrated into our staff culture—from hiring practices to performance evaluations—helping us to maintain a strong sense of community and a passion for what we do.

William Fry, M.D., of Stanford University “Humor and creativity work in similar ways. by creating relationships between two disconnected items, you engage the whole brain.” Ken Robinson – Author of “Creative Schools” said: “the whole system of public education around the world is a protracted process of university entrance. And the consequence is that many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they’re not, because the thing they were good at school wasn’t valued, or was actually stigmatized.”

Not just a cultural arts presentation, this show has been presented via Language Arts Departments, Counseling, PTA / PTO / PTSA, and Drama / Fine Arts. One of the most fun you and your students will ever have, Improv shows & workshops provides a wealth of educational value.

LMAO OFF BROADWAY Returning to Times Square





After a busy summer touring nationwide, LMAO OFF BROADWAY - the interactive musical Improv comedy show by EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH - is Back in Times Square at the Broadway Comedy Club (318 West 53rd Street, New York, NY 10019). Tickets are now on sale for 3pm and 8pm shows every Saturday ($25 at the door or via Theatermania 866-811-4111; Group Sales SGF PRODUCTIONS 212-568-6560). Discount tickets, updated schedules and more information at www.8improv.com




It has been hard to focus on Kimye and Bey-Z strife while fielding real life drama issues such as Ferguson, Mo protests and rioting, War in Gaza and Ukraine and Mexican Border. But this is the cast to handle it all. Add in some Justin Bieber underwear ads and there is no shortage of topical material to lampoon these days. No two shows are never the same as music, sketch and interactive games are created on the spot "Whose Line IS It Anyway"-style based on audience suggestions and participation.
