Beacon
Operating year-round during afterschool and evening hours on weekdays, on weekends and over the summer, each Beacon Community Center transforms its host school into a resource for the whole community by offering an integrated range of programming tailored to meet each individual community’s needs.
Beacons offer a safe place to engage in recreational activities, discover new interests, acquire skills, and find opportunities to contribute to the community, all while being guided and supported by caring adults.
New York Edge currently has four Beacons Centers located in Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The Beacons provide activities and services for school-age youth, families, and adults ages 22 years and older, including seniors.
