At BGCC, we focus on putting the needs, experiences and well-being of young people at the core of our programs and initiatives. Our strategies prioritize youth development, and community engagement to create a safe and supportive environment for youth and teens.

We empower our youth, teens and staff to reach their full collective potential. Our commitment to advancing a Human Centered environment is evident in our vision and mission. It shapes everything we do: hiring staff, recruiting board members, forming partnerships, program and curriculum design, and creating opportunities for youth.

BGCC continually evolves to provide relevant opportunities so that all youth are empowered and included, no matter what their circumstances.

We are committed to continuous improvement in all that we do by incorporating youth and family voice as we strive to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty and overcome the opportunity gap for a healthier shared community.
