Y Beacon Centers transform public schools into active community centers during non-school hours, providing educational, recreational and cultural activities at no charge for children and families in low-income neighborhoods surrounding the Beacon schools.

Beacon Centers use after-school fun to help low-income youth improve their academic, social and leadership skills. The Beacon Centers offer young people a place to grow through challenging activities, caring relationships, and leadership opportunities.

Beacon Centers are open after school, evenings, on weekends, during school holiday breaks and over the summer.
