Our mission is to transform young lives and help underserved girls grow in confidence, leadership, and academic achievement.

Founded in 1997, Figure Skating in Harlem (FSH) uses the artistic discipline of figure skating as a powerful magnet to provide innovative education and fitness programs that promote academic success, physical health, and emotional well-being in a safe and supportive environment.

“Figure Skating in Harlem is a quintessential New York organization. It’s about achievement, excellence and community.”

WHAT CAN YOU BUILD ON A FOUNDATION OF ICE?

2 3

As a result of your consistent, generous support, we serve hundreds of New York City girls with vital educational, health and fitness opportunities that improve their lives and give them a true foundation for lifelong success. FSH alumna Keri Springett said, “FSH gave me the most essential tool in life – self-discipline.”

Our 18th season, as you’ll read inside these pages, was one of continued growth. We implemented a unique Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) unit that uses figure skating as the lens to ignite curiosity in these subjects where Black and Latina women are sorely underrepresented. We doubled the hours in our Summer Dreams camp, hosted a career week in Washington, D.C. that included a special visit with White House policy analysts and a Supreme Court Justice, and helped students secure full scholarships at prep schools. The recent opening of our brand new Academic Center will allow us to double the number of academic hours each student spends with us during the school year. Thanks to you, the future is bright for the young women we serve in New York City. As we approach our 20th anniversary, we are taking a bold step to secure their futures and bring our innovative model to girls in other communities, beginning with Detroit. This is a city with a rich skating history, is teaming with energy and in need of youth development programs. Your support will be crucial in allowing more girls and their families to benefit from the opportunity, education and empowerment that we will continue to create together, giving all of the future Keri Springetts the tool of self-discipline and beyond. Warmest regards,

Sharon CohenFounder and Executive Director

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

GROWTH AND IMPACT

In June FSH moved its LEADING EDGE ACADEMIC CENTER to a larger space on the fifth floor of the historic Harlem Commonwealth Council building on 125th Street that once housed a YWCA. This expanded, vibrant space with four state of the art classrooms allows us to double the number of girls engaged in our educational programming and enhance the quality of their experience. One third of FSH students maintained an A average in school, while 83% reached a B average or higher. All students participate in communications, writing, financial literacy and STEM subjects. We look forward to starting our I.C.E = I CAN EXCEL afterschool program off right with even more educational offerings in October!

Our Students will:

• Have the academic foundation to graduate

from high school and succeed at a four-

year college

• Possess a life-long appreciation for

physical fitness as a tool to benefit mind

and body

• Possess positive social and emotional

skills

• Be confident and capable public speakers

• Be able to make healthy food and fitness

choices

• Be proficient writers

• Possess critical thinking skills

• Develop proficient skating skills

• Possess confidence in their ability to

achieve their personal goals

LONG TERM OBJECTIVESIT’S AN EXCITING TIME AT FIGURE SKATING IN HARLEM!

The writing-infused classes help students gain financial literacy skills, realize the benefits of public speaking, and hone critical thinking skills. FSH also offers leadership and mentoring opportunities and cultural field trips, all planned to provide the students with meaningful experiences to help deepen their commitment to success.

EDUCATIONEDUCATION

“In Financial Literacy, I learned what a credit card is and the importance of paying my bills on time. I am confident that when I get to college and get my first credit card, I will be that person who will use it wisely.” Raven Williams, First Year Student

Figure Skating in Harlem’s signature academic curriculum aligns to New York State Common Core Standards, and is used by certified teachers to deliver engaging academic enrichment classes throughout the school year. All students are placed in small tutoring groups of a maximum of 4 students to one teacher, and aim to maintain at least a B+ average in core subjects to remain in good standing. Studies show that minority and low-income students show even greater gains when placed in small classes. At least 65% of our students come from families who earn $45,000 or less per year.

Individual learning plans are created for each student to identify goals that are in line with our academic philosophy:

Student-CenteredIt is essential that our curriculum focus on the needs of our students by incorporating multiple learning styles.

Knowledge and Skills-Based LearningCommon Core and age appropriate state standards and skills help develop student understanding.

Activity-RichHands-on activities, whenever possible, make lessons come alive.

T ime to WriteStudents are guided and have time to craft quality written work in every class.

Embedded AssessmentsTo meet learning benchmarks, lessons are designed with assessments in mind so that teachers can accurately track and monitor student progress.

S.K.A.T.E

Our new STEM INITIATIVE focuses on science, technology, engineering, and math fields through a specialized curriculum that relates these subjects to the skills students are developing on the ice. Year-round, students explore the broad topics of My Body, My Ice, My Skating, Health & Fitness, Mechanics & Energy and Computer Science with lessons covering cardiovascular and heart health, skeletal and muscular systems, the engineering of ice rinks, Newtonian physics, coding, and more. Students improve bio-motor skills, aerobic and muscle fitness, flexibility and coordination, while learning key facts about health, nutrition and math. 93% of students improved their understanding of key STEM concepts from pre- and post- unit assessments.

Every year, 43 million children go without access to critical summer learning. To increase student exposure to academics during summer months FSH has expanded its Summer Dreams Camp to operate 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. four days a week for six weeks. Our summer camp provides students with 12 hours per week of skating and off-ice conditioning classes. Enrichment classes focused on reading, writing and STEM subjects are offered. Skating instruction takes place each afternoon at City Ice Pavilion in Queens.

SUMMER DREAMS

EDUCATION

FSH’s 3rd Annual School Fair provided information to our families about competitive middle and high schools in New York City. Thirteen private, independent, and top performing public schools participated, and spoke to more than 50 FSH parents and students attending the fair.

High School and College Planning FSH provided robust high school and college guidance to our girls as they planned their academic futures. Weekly discussions are held focused on the high school admissions process, goal setting, and developing a four-year academic plan for 9th graders. Our 12th graders received individual guidance and ongoing support as they conducted college research and applied to various schools. Additionally, they received information about employment, internships and scholarship opportunities.

OPPORTUNITY

COLLEGE TOURS AND ALUMNAE PANEL

FSH held its first ever College Week, during which FSH alumnae gave tours to current FSH students at their college campuses. In addition, our girls visited Howard University and George Washington University in Washington, DC. College Week ended with a panel discussion with alumnae from Brown University, St. John’s University, CUNY City College, St. John’s Fisher College, Spelman College, and Howard University.

“The dedication from my peers

has encouraged me to come

in with a positive attitude

and be a team player on and

off the ice. No matter what

challenges we face it is always

comforting to know that we

have our FSH family behind us

at the end of the day.”

Ariel Clark, 12 years old

CAREER WEEK

Career perception is an important factor that influences girls. FSH partners with various companies and organizations to help expand thinking about career and academic decisions.

FSH students visited Washington, DC to meet with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and to learn from White House policy analysts, including leaders from the offices of Education & Physical Sciences, Pubic Engagements, Science and Technology, and the White House Council on Women and Girls and various executive members of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. Some local Career Week visits included:

• American International Group, Inc. (AIG), the leading international insurance organization, to meet with top female executives, women in the science department and recruiters to practice resume and interview skills.

• Brand Union, a global brand and creative design agency to learn about brand strategies and marketing.

• The United Nations for a behind the scenes look and guided tour of the headquarters.

• American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) to hear from female executives about behind the scenes music industry scene.

• Studio Museum in Harlem, to meet with the Assistant Curator.

• Career Week ended with an open panel discussion with representatives from Ralph Lauren, Street Academy, Parents4Parents and more, who met and mingled with students.

Our Annual Awards Ceremony, held each May, recognizes students for participation, leadership, perfect attendance, and academic and skating achievement. Several of our students delivered compelling speeches about their experiences at FSH before a crowd of more than 500 family, friends, volunteers and community supporters.

IMPROVING EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING

Two licensed social workers help prepare students to meet life’s challenges, by leading interactive sessions about self-discipline, respect, bullying, conflict resolution, nutrition, overcoming peer pressure and more. Both social workers are available to all students who wish to privately discuss personal issues and to provide additional resources to FSH parents.

EMPOWERMENT

LAKE PLACID

Eight FSH students, age 13 and up, attended a rigorous week-long figure skating camp at the Lake Placid Olympic Training Facility as recipients of scholarships donated by the Olympic Regional Development Authority.

“What I love the most are the girls and the new friendships that I have developed. Also, I

was able to learn to talk through difficulties with friends and skating instructors which

helped me to stand up for myself.”

Phoenix Berger

CULTURAL TRIPS

FSH offered a variety of cultural experiences designed to enhance our students’ appreciation of the arts, culture and service. This season’s trips included:

• Sphinx Virtuosi at Carnegie Hall featuring critically acclaimed all Black and Latino string ensemble

• Students visited Harlem Meer, a thriving wildlife habitat in Central Park

• SELMA. Students received a powerful history lesson in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s efforts to secure equal voting rights

• The Black Nutcracker performed by the Uptown Dance Academy at Hostos College Cultural Center

• All Star Practice game. Multiple NBA stars entertained the audience at Madison Square Garden by showcasing their practice drills

• Thanksgiving Feeding Families Community Service Event. A student led project which involved FSH

students in greeting families and serving them food

• Museum of Modern Art. FSH students attended an exploration of music and poetry in conjunction with the One-Way Ticket exhibition by Jacob Lawrence

ALUMNA ASSOCIATE

Donor Tracy Schusterman, inspired by our Alumnae Outreach Project, which engages former students, tracks their progress and provides support, has funded a summer internship to provide work experience and an opportunity to learn about non-profit operations, development and programming. Our first associate, Meiling Jabbaar, graduated from Brown University in 2015.

FSH nominated Yezabeth Duran, and she was accepted to attend The Experiment in International Living’s Leadership Institute in India on an all-expense paid scholarship. Yezabeth received intensive leadership training in Washington, DC, followed by a four-week immersion experience focused on public health and community development in India. She will create a special project for her peers at FSH in the fall based on her learnings abroad.

12 13

Last season marked the fifth competitive season for the Harlem Ice Synchronized Skating Program, which provides 36 girls the chance to set ambitious personal goals, experience the benefits of teamwork in a safe environment, and test their skills against a large selection of their peers.

Harlem Ice teams won Silver and Bronze medals in their competitions this year! Participating on a Harlem Ice Synchro team continues to expose our students to a new discipline where they gain invaluable teamwork skills.

TEAMWORK FITNESS

From October to May, students receive two or three afternoons of skating instruction and off-ice conditioning classes. Weekly skating sessions in spring and summer keep our girls engaged in physical activities year round. Throughout the year, students measure their progress with the U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills tests. We emphasize that each of their successes on the ice models how they can set goals and pursue success in other aspects of their lives.

FSH provides each student with professional instruction, skates, blade covers and a bag, warm-up suits, sweatshirts, and show costumes, and access to ice time, which frequently makes the practice of this sport prohibitive to low-income communities.

COMMUNITY AND PARTNERSHIPS

At the end of each program year, all students perform choreographed routines in full costume at our Annual Ice Show. Each show has a theme, a number of ensemble performances and solo demonstrations by students. This annual event, sponsored by Disney, Aetna and Nielsen, typically attracts 1,200 guests.

The annual Winter Skating Party also brings together hundreds of community supporters every year. Both of these events demonstrate the commitment parents have to FSH as they coordinate and raise money for the program through these events.

NY COMMUNITY TRUST NYC’s community foundation and one of the largest funders of local nonprofits featured FSH in “You Can Change Lives”, their first-ever promotional video which runs on their website. FSH was one of only three organizations, out of the hundreds they serve, to be highlighted.

NY WOMEN’S FOUNDATIONFSH was one of 46 grantee partners featured in Radiance, a striking book of photos of women who are changing lives in their communities.

FSH is proud of it partnership with Riverbank State Park, our home ice skating rink and host to our Annual Ice Show and other community events.

Harlem Eat Up! FSH participated in this inaugural event as invited guests of FSH sponsors Aetna and Citi. Ten FSH students were special guests at a question and answer session with the festival founders Marcus Samuelsson and Herb Karlitz, hosted by fashionista Bevy Smith.

JUNIOR BOARD OF DIRECTORSFSH re-launched its Junior Board of Directors after a three-year hiatus. In January, they hosted their first fundraising event, a Soul Cycle Charity Ride, supported by more than 50 new donors, and raised over $6,000. We are thrilled about the promise of these future leaders!

EVENTS

We are so thankful to the generous supporters who contributed to our 10th Skating with the Stars Gala. An electric performance by Dancing with the Stars Champions Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy along with an original Spoken Word performance by FSH students paid tribute to Nicole, Alana and Juliette Feld of Feld Entertainment, Inc., Olympic Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek, and author and activist Gloria Steinem. The event raised $917,000 to help us in achieving our goals.

As a seven-year-old girl living in the New York City projects, Whoopi Goldberg loved to go ice skating in Central Park with her brother. “I always wanted to be in the Ice Capades,” says Goldberg. But she never remembers seeing any black ice skaters on TV. Goldberg admits she hasn’t hit the ice herself in years, but she likes to help young people follow their dreams. “Anytime someone is passionate about something, I feel like you have to encourage that,” Goldberg said as she accepted the Variety Power of Women Award last April. She named FSH as her charity of choice to receive matching donations from Variety and the Entertainment Industry Foundation in her honor.
