Our Clubs and Programs
English Language Learning Club
GNTA began its ESL program in 2021 with an evening class for community members, with the support of Rio Lago vineyard owner and nonprofit ESL founder Lynn Horowitz. Over two years, students advanced from beginner to low-intermediate levels and were then able to continue their studies in adult programs at the SRJC. With sponsorship of La Familia Sana in Cloverdale, GNTA now offers an English as a Second Language Enrichment for middle and high school students needing extra language support, taught by Mary Kelley. Mary is a CA credentialed teacher and realtor who was the executive director of the Healdsburg Farmers' Market. We are proud of our students' determination to become multi-lingual, and grateful for the community support! Our Wellness Center
We’re excited to introduce our new Wellness Center — a calming space where students can drop in to relax, recharge, and take a mindful break during the day. Along with our welcoming environment, we’re proud to host V.I.V.A., a student-led club where boys connect, share, and support one another through open conversation. Our campus also benefits from the care of three dedicated mental health providers, offering guidance and support for students’ emotional well-being. The Wellness Center is here to remind our students that taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your studies.

This training will enable participants to learn pragmatic strategies to build strong, healthy relationships with students, families, employees, and colleagues. Interactive experiences throughout the workshop will yield a better understanding of the continuum of Restorative Practices and how they can be applied to an educator's practice.
