For 160 years, BCS has partnered with our neighbors to build a stronger Brooklyn, driven by solutions created in and for our communities.

Welcome to Brooklyn Community Services

BCS operates 50+ award-winning programs across 28 Brooklyn locations, serving more than 14,000 neighbors each year. We work with Brooklynites of all ages to expand opportunity, strengthen stability, and help communities thrive.

Over the last few weeks, Huntsman Architectural Group (@huntsmanag) has raised funds to support field trips for our Education and Youth Development programs. We are grateful for their fundraising efforts, which raised $2.5K, and we are excited about the new opportunities this will open up for Brooklyn's youth to learn, explore, and grow!
Thank you to the Huntsman team!

Access to period products is essential to the health, comfort, and dignity of millions of people with periods. Yet, circumstances like homelessness, job loss, and rising living costs can prevent people from accessing this basic need. 
This season, BCS is collecting period products for participants at our shelters, and we invite you to help keep these vital supplies available. We accept monetary and in-kind donations, including wrapped pads, tampons, sanitary wipes, and period underwear. 
Every contribution helps ensure that shelter participants can access the products they need with dignity and consistency.

New space. New possibilities! 💻🎙️📸
BCS’s Seth Low Cornerstone program recently cut the ribbon on its brand-new Innovation Lab!
As FCBWD Deputy Director Chad Williams (first speaker in the video) noted, Seth Low's computer lab needed an upgrade. It was a great space that needed a little pick-me-up. 
Thanks to Amazon and the Public Housing Community Fund, Seth Low residents now have access to computers, podcasting equipment, and photo and video equipment to explore their creativity and try something new.
“I’m most looking forward to seeing the excitement from our participants and watching them take advantage of everything the Innovation Lab has to offer. I want to see them step outside their comfort zones, try new things, work together,” says Naomie Dawkins, Seth Low Program Director.
We can’t wait to see what our community creates!
