Second graders from PS 676 Red Hook Neighborhood School visited Beam Center on Governors Island last week. As part of their ongoing in-class project involving reef structures, students are collaborating with our Project Designer, Serena, to learn about oysters and their reefs in the waters of NYC.

In addition to our in-house youth employment enterprises - such as Project Leaders, Project Production, and others - Beam is proud to manage a robust externship enterprise. Through our externships, Beam places young people in paid jobs and internships with other community-based organizations and businesses across NYC. Check out these features to learn about our externship opportunities from summer 2022!

Check out this exciting collaboration between 12th grade students at International High School at Prospect Heights, Beam Center, and Beam Project Designer, Pilar Perez, where students are designing their own “Identity Boxes.”
