Beam Center

Beam Center’s mission is to crystallize self-directed growth through ambitious, collaborative project-making. We support and celebrate young people as producers of learning, culture, and change who take bold steps towards meaningful futures and help guide compassionate, equitable, and vibrant communities.

Beam Center aims to help New York City kids and teens set and achieve ambitious goals in school, at work, and in life by making mentorship, creation, and collaboration central to their out-of-classroom learning and college or work-preparatory experiences. At Beam Center, we believe that engaging all young people to unlock their own potential and to continue towards a career path or continued education is an issue of social and economic justice.
