Brooklyn is home to the second-largest number of nonprofits in NYC (over 13,000), but Manhattan-based organizations still receive 10 times more money in donations. With giving season right around the corner, we encourage you to donate to Brooklyn Community Services! We’ve served the borough for over 150 years and couldn’t do it without your generous contributions. Donate today and help us build a better Brooklyn for all.

It’s National Food Bank Week! A huge thank you to all the volunteers and donors who keep food banks running and ensure that all NYC families have access to nutritious meals.

Meet Gary, a participant in our workforce development initiative, NeON Works. Since joining the program in June, he’s taken part in different work-skills courses and has honed his resume with NeON’s team. “I feel like I know so much more now when I go into an interview,” Gary says. “The program taught us what kind of questions we might be asked in interviews and how we can best answer them.” Gary is now applying for full-time positions and feels confident that NeON Works has given him the tools he needs to land his dream job. We can’t wait to see where he ends up! #wearebcs #NeONWorks #workforcedevelopment #workskills #jobtraining #education #nonprofit #employment #Brooklyn #NYC #NYCnonprofit #Brooklynonprofit

We had a great time at the premiere of “Brooklyn Dreams,” a new documentary short made by students at the BCS Education Center! The film documents students' success stories in everything from GED certification to English language learning, while exploring the resources and community that the Ed Center offers. Congratulations, filmmakers! We’re so excited to see what you make next! 📹 #wearebcs #BCSEducationCenter #BrooklynDreams #ESL #GED #education #adulteducation #languagelearning #film #documentary #shortfilm #Brooklyn #NYC #NYCnonprofit #nonprofit #studentfilm #community
