A community center that makes its home within East Side Community School, our Beacon offers a wide variety of programs for all ages, tailored to our students’ preferences.  
 
Beacon’s after-school programs engage young people with opportunities that bolster their self-confidence, open their eyes to future options, and nurture a sense of belonging with the larger community. Middle school and high school students access a wide range of creative and physical activities (detailed below) during the school year. Summer camp makes room for kids to focus on a particular skill or hobby of choice, developing their skills to a higher level while partnering with peers in educational and recreational activities. 

Beacon also makes its program space available to community organizations during the evenings and on Saturdays, free of charge.
