NUHS

A long-standing program inside New Utrecht High School in Bensonhurst, BCCP@NUHS is a tight-knit, diverse community, an oasis inside the 4000-student school. We focus on social-emotional growth, social justice, academic development, and college/career prep, through activities, conversations, tutoring, trips, and adventurous internships. Driven by a focus on youth leadership, participants take an active role in the program and create and lead activities with their peers. We focus as a community on co-creating a small, empowering space of belonging where participants can be and express themselves — and get involved in civic life and activism in the school and the city at large.
