Community Afterschool Programs

The JCC offers Beacon Centers at Tottenville High School and a COMPASS Program at P.S. 65. All of these after school programs are free and funded by the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD).
JCC Beacon Centers
The JCC Beacon Centers serve the community on the  South Shore at Tottenville High School. Beacon Centers are school-based programs that serve children, adolescences, and adults as a community center providing year-round after-school, evening, weekend, and school holiday programming. 

Our Beacon focuses on positive youth development, social emotional learning, enrichment, and recreation. We aim to foster leadership skills through entrepreneurship and youth advocacy. by offering a wide variety of essential services to school-age children as well as their parents and the community.

The mission of the Beacon program is to provide activities that are not generally available during the school day. The Beacon program also works closely with each principal to support their ongoing academic needs. Regularly scheduled after school, evening, Saturday, and summer camp programs include academic help (STEM based), social services, recreational, leadership development, nutritional enhancements, music, dance, art, and drama.

​There is a registration process for enrollment into the JCC Beacon programs with applications available at each site. The JCC Beacon Program is funded by the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD), a NYC agency.
