IS 93 Beacon Program

IS 93 Beacon After-School Program 

The IS 93 Beacon After-school program is a safe haven for neighborhood youth and their families. We offer a wide range of comprehensive and multifaceted programs for both children and adults within the community. The Beacon After-school program provides services to over 1,200 people from the five boroughs annually. 

The after-school program is staffed by teachers, activity specialists, and other support staff. The program offers opportunities for children and adults to express themselves through positive outlets such as community service projects, volunteering, arts programs, leisure activities and vocational endeavors. The program provides educational support, job-readiness skills, sporting leagues and clinics, drama groups, trips and many other services.
