Welcome to your BCS Resource Hub!
We are so glad you’re here. At Brooklyn Community Services, our strength comes from our people—but with 50 different locations across the borough, we know it can sometimes be a challenge to feel connected.
We created this Hub specifically with you in mind. Think of it as your digital home base—a place to grab a quick Microsoft Office tip, download an essential form, or check the date for our next big event. Whether you’re looking for the latest newsletter or a specific manual, everything you need is now right at your fingertips.
We want to grow with you. This space is for the staff, and we want it to be as helpful as possible. If there’s something you’d love to see added or a way we can make it better, please reach out!

WHAT WE DO
Brooklyn Community Services (BCS) was founded in 1866 and continues to help children and youth reach their full potential, strengthen families, and foster self-sufficiency in adults. Brooklyn Community Services is one of the oldest, not-for-profit, non-sectarian social service providers in New York City and one of the largest in Brooklyn.
Over the years, BCS has strengthened countless families at risk of separation; supported and stabilized people with psychiatric illnesses; helped adults with disabilities participate fully in the community; enabled people to move from welfare to work; and offered guidance, education and support to children and young adults. With programs in 28 Brooklyn locations, Brooklyn Community Services serves more than 20,000 people each year.
