MMCC’s Beacon Programs are school-based community centers, funded by the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD). Beacons provide services for children, youth, and adults. We operate during afterschool hours, evenings, weekends, summer vacation and specified holidays, providing a wide range of services and activities for children and their families. Beacon activities vary from site to site but include academic enrichment, life skills, career awareness/school to work transition, civic engagement/community building, recreation/health & fitness, and culture/art.
