Following 20 years of successful experience working with youth in the Bronx and Manhattan, Urban Youth Alliance is thrilled to launch Bronx Connect to support successful outcomes for youth and their families in the Bronx. Our philosophy stems from the belief that all youth have innate strengths upon which they can build. This belief also drives our commitment to use the power of our collective voice to advocate for youth justice, advance accountability, and help youth strengthen their community roots in positive, life-affirming ways.

Building on local insights and partnerships with stakeholders, we tailored every aspect of the Bronx Connect Service model to the needs of the Bronx community and the unique needs of the young people here.

Beacon Community Center at IS 49 turns the school into a resource for the whole community by offering an integrated range of programming tailored to local needs. For all participants, especially youth, Beacons offer a safe haven to engage in recreational activities, discover new interests, acquire skills, and find opportunities to contribute to the community, guided and supported by program staff. 

The Beacons provide activities and services for school-age youth, families, and adults ages 22 years and older, including seniors. In keeping with the original concept, programs make special efforts to engage hard-to-recruit youth and young adults for whom participation in activities that foster positive youth development, social emotional learning (SEL) and leadership skills are especially beneficial.

Typical programs are intended to build:

• Life Skills: Activities designed to increase personal responsibility, self-esteem, and confidence.
• Career Awareness/School to Work Transition: Activities designed to educate young people on career opportunities and assist with the transition to work or higher education. Activities include career exploration workshops, work readiness opportunities, help transitioning from middle school to high school and from high school to college/vocational programs.
