Brownsville is getting its flowers 🌻
This month, our BCS Seth Low Cornerstone team launched their Flower Friday campaign, recognizing the neighbors who help make the community so special every day.
They connect with residents at events all the time — but this was more personal. Staff and summer camp participants walked the neighborhood, surprising residents with a flower and a handwritten appreciation card. The mission? To make sure the Seth Low community knew they were seen and valued for the role they play in creating a safe, welcoming place for youth and families.
What a beautiful way to give back. We can`t wait to watch you keep brightening your neighbors` days.

This summer, our Seth Low, Farragut, and O`Dwyer Gardens Cornerstone programs hosted summer camp for young Brooklynites in grades K–5. As the season wraps up, we`re glad our Cornerstones gave kids a safe, engaging space to enjoy their summer, make new friends, and create new memories.

Breaking News!
We are proud to share this op-ed in Amsterdam News by Rose Sauls, Director of BCS`s Division of Services for People Living with Disabilities.
Her piece serves as a powerful reminder of the mental health services gap facing New York City`s youth and reminds us all, but most importantly young New Yorkers, of their own strengths and ability to make a difference.
We hope you`ll take a read (link in bio!) and join in on this conversation!
