The Family and Community Empowerment (FACE) team is responsible for developing and supporting parent governance structures in New York City schools. FACE provides leadership opportunities, training, coaching, and other resources for families to help them advocate for the educational success of their children. In addition, FACE provides support to parent coordinators, family leadership coordinators, and school leadership so all New York City parents are empowered and welcomed in their school communities.

BCAP Returns This Summer With Good Eats!
Are the Tiny Humans in your home foodies? Then get ready this summer, because we're inviting campers ages 7 to 12 to explore all the things that make Brooklyn worth savoring. From traditions with family, to yummy-looking art, to incredible plants and animals that depend on each other to survive.
Brooklyn Cultural Adventures Program (BCAP) offers summer programs for youth based on a collaboration of six cultural institutions in the heart of Brooklyn: Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Children's Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park Alliance and Prospect Park Zoo, plus visits to the newly reopened Center for Brooklyn History (formerly Brooklyn Historical Society).
Registration is now open, with generous scholarships available to families who apply; secure your spot today!
If you'd like to learn more about BCAP, how to apply for scholarships, or to ask any questions you have about the program we will be hosting live virtual info sessions on the following days:
