About the Provider
The Harlem Children's Zone Beacon programs turn school buildings into community centers, offering programs during the afternoon, evening and weekend. They offer programs for youth and adults – from education to the arts to recreation. Each summer, they offer all-day camp so children have a safe, enriching place to spend their time instead of hanging out on the street. Like our Harlem Children's Zone Project, the Beacons also have a holistic "whatever it takes" approach to meeting the needs of the surrounding community. Services are provided free to the public.
The Booker T. Washington Beacon program is located in MS 54 on West 107th Street. In 2007 it served 1,500 residents, including 1,100 young people. It serves elementary- and middle-school students and brings the local community together through special events.
In addition to its wide range of education, arts and recreation programs, the program has been busy building out its Moving Forward program, which targets young men and women who are no longer in school, but not fully employed. Moving Forward works with young people so they can obtain a high-school equivalency degree and then go on to a vocational school or other higher-learning institutions.
