Mission Statement
BSCC strives to serve families and children through individual and intergenerational programs and services in a setting that welcomes everyone.
Description
BSCC provides programs to youth ages 5 through 19 years in two different programs: a licensed 2-6 pm School Age Child Care program and a drop-in after school teen program. The biggest draw for most of our teens is our gym. BSCC is the only gym in the Uphams Corner area and it draws hundreds of youth every year for basketball, soccer, and flag football. We also offer Double Dutch, dancing, kickboxing, and other sports and fitness programming for our youth. In addition to our athletic programs, which about 80% of our youth are involved in, we offer educational help for middle school and high school, arts and life skills programming, anti-violence curriculum, gender specific programming, leadership and job skills, and mentoring.
