Bird Street
Location(s)
The Bird Street Community Center (BSCC) is a private, non-profit youth center, which serves the Uphams Corner and Dudley Street areas of North Dorchester and Roxbury. We serve a diverse population consisting primarily of Cape Verdeans, African Americans, Latinos, and Haitians. The Center serves 500 youth annually through two main programs, which are divided into various components. These two programs are the School Age Child Care Program, which is a licensed child c are program for children ages 5 to 13, and the Youth Development Program, which is a drop-in program for youth ages 10 to 19. Our facilities include the Teen Center, a gym, a dance and art room, a computer lab, five classrooms, and staff offices. BSCC is strongly connected to the other social service organizations in the community, enabling us to view things from the larger perspective of the Uphams Corner community, as well as the internal community within the Center.
In the School Age Child Care Program, students would supervise and organize activities for children ages 5 - 13 and function as a Literacy Tutor for the older children in this program from 2 - 6 pm, Monday through FridayTime Requirement
The Center is open Monday through Friday from 2 - 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 - 4. Students will be asked to come to the Center two days a week for approximately 4 hours each day. This will enable students to work in different programs, get to know the young people in different settings, and see how the Center functions as a whole. Prime programming times during weekdays are from 3:30 - 8:00 p.m. Students are encouraged to be at the program during these times.
