Steve Kessler Afterschool Coordinator
Now in its ninth year of service
to the communities of Park Hill and Stapleton on the north shore of
Staten Island, the JCC/Beacon Program offers a wide variety of
essential services to school age children as well as adults. Our
mission is to provide activities that are not generally available to
residents of these communities. Regularly scheduled afterschool,
evening and Saturday programs include academic tutoring, social
services, recreation, leadership development, music, dance, art and
drama. Our professional staff also provides nutritional counseling,
pregnancy prevention, good health recommendations as well as cultural
and educational special events.
The I.S. 49/Beacon Program
provides services to over 1,800 youth and adults each month. We are
proud to offer these services to all community residents without
regard to age, gender, race or religious background.
Tottenville
JCC/Beacon Program at Tottenville High School
Cliff Bloom, Director 718-605-3033
The JCC/Beacon program at
Tottenville High School provides opportunities to community residents
of the south shore of Staten Island. Our goal is to offer additional
services such as: academic tutoring, recreation, leadership
development and social services, all free of charge to our community.
As we enter our third year at Tottenville, we will be serving over
1,800 students and adults each month. We will continue to offer
services and activities that are necessary but not as available to our
community residents as they would like. We will try and be a resource
for a lack of services that our community residents’ desire.
