BROOKLYN FOR ALL. BCS believes all Brooklynites should have the resources, education, opportunities, and safety they need to thrive. We envision healthy and sustainable communities, where members are engaged as leaders, neighborhoods draw from their strengths and generations flourish together.
BCS partners with people to overcome obstacles on their pathway toward self-determination.
Since 1866, founded on the principle of neighbors helping neighbors, BCS has worked in neighborhoods impacted by systemic poverty. Today, we continue to strengthen communities by fostering the educational success of children, the leadership development of youth, the employment and housing stability of adults, the advancement of individuals living with disabilities, and the empowerment of seniors and families. Our work is rooted in the struggle for social justice and through action and advocacy, we commit to shine a light on barriers that perpetuate inequitable systems as a part of the collective effort to ignite change.
We believe in the dignity, value and worth of the people in our programs and of our neighbors, colleagues and ourselves. We act with kindness, build trust and respect all those with whom we come in contact.
We partner with the people in our programs so they can build upon their own strengths to overcome challenges to achieve their life goals. We offer tools, resources and support and opportunities for residents to thrive. We partner with our staff so that they can grow and develop professionally.
We are a learning organization and value innovation and learning so that we can continue to evolve and seek out the most efficient and productive ways to serve our community and help people reach their goals.
We reflect the richness of Brooklyn and embrace its diverse people, culture and neighborhoods. We believe that all Brooklynites should share in resources and opportunities that promote well-being and a successful life, and work to ensure that our programs, services and advocacy reach and include all who live and work in the communities we serve. We commit to looking at ourselves and making changes when needed for the betterment of BCS.
We hold ourselves accountable to the highest professional and ethical standards. We recognize that every employee has a responsibility to mitigate risk and seek out solutions. We are self-reflective and disciplined in listening to the people in our programs and to our colleagues. We use resources wisely, learn from our mistakes and strive to improve in service delivery to our clients and employees.
We partner with people in our programs to best support their goals toward personal growth. We partner with our colleagues at BCS to make our programs and services better. We partner with other nonprofits to strengthen the array of services we are able to offer and to strengthen the sector as a whole. We partner with communities, government, and the private sector to address the needs of Brooklyn residents. In all of this, we communicate clearly and act with respect.
