The E.S.T.E.E.M. Group
Our mission to empower students through education, engagement, and motion, while instilling important social emotional learning skills to help students thrive physically, mentally, socially and emotionally throughout their lifetime, has inspired a new program, The E.S.T.E.E.M. Group. This program was created with the mission in mind and the board is hoping impacts students of all ages, today and well into the future. Our program is based in Western Pennsylvania and spans from PreK through College encompassing a diverse curriculum that meets students where they are and challenges them to grow and develop social emotional learning skills important to thrive in life.
We use music and movement with our students to:
- Motivate them to become better teammates
- Strengthen their social skills
- Feel a sense of community
- Heighten their self-esteem
- Foster leadership
- Learn how to communicate effectively
- Use proper etiquette
- Develop respect for themselves and others
Our curriculum was developed with the input of certified Yoga, Fitness and Ballroom instructors. We took the essence of these life enhancing crafts and added in social emotional curriculum.

Executive Director
Gena Melago
Gena Melago, MS has been “in motion” for most of her life. She has always had a passion for learning and a love of teaching. Her Masters in Instructional Leadership, Education and Training from Robert Morris University as well as being a certified Adult and Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructor has given her a strong base to build on. Gena found that her love of teaching and her passion for dance could be combined when working as a Prevention Specialist. She loved using music in her lessons and has always felt that music and dance can help change the way we see each other. She hopes to continue this through her work with ESTEEM Group Inc. as well as the George Washington University Customer Experience Certificate Advisory Board.
Gena’s favorite quote, “the best memories are those you never planned on having”, speaks to the direction she wants to take ESTEEM Group Inc. Hopefully everyone that crosses her path, will have some wonderful memories that they can cherish for a lifetime.
