DYCD’s Beacon programs are collaborative, school-based community centers designed to provide quality services to youth and adults after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. The Beacons represent a unique convergence of youth and community development, through an integrated range of services, provided in an educational environment, and tailored to local needs. Beacons were introduced in response to widespread concern about crime and drugs in New York City and since their inception, Beacon centers have served more than one million youth and adults. Notably, they shifted the focus away from “problems” and “deficits” to create a flagship program for positive youth development.
