Ever wonder just how profoundly a nonprofit can permeate and lift up its community? Look to Brooklyn Community Services (BCS). Since 1866, founded on the principle of neighbors helping neighbors, BCS has worked in neighborhoods impacted by systemic poverty. Today, the agency continues to strengthen communities by fostering the educational success of children, the leadership development of youth, the employment and housing stability of adults, the advancement of individuals living with disabilities, and the empowerment of seniors and families.
BCS roots its work in the struggle for social justice and, through action and advocacy, commits to shining a light on barriers that perpetuate inequitable systems as a part of the collective effort to ignite change.
