CPC Beacon at IS 220

For over 25 years, the CPC Beacon Community Center has been a cornerstone of Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and its neighboring communities, offering a vibrant space where all ages—from children to adults—come together to learn, create, and grow. As a multigenerational community hub, CPC Beacon fosters connections across generations while nurturing curiosity, creativity, and personal growth.

Our programs feature a wide variety of enrichment activities designed to engage every member of the community. Participants can explore STEM, creative writing, performing arts, academic support, sports, health and fitness, community-building events, and civic engagement—all in a safe and welcoming environment that encourages learning, collaboration, and self-expression.

CPC Beacon offers age-specific and inclusive programming:

Afterschool programming for middle school students, providing hands-on learning, homework support, and exciting enrichment activities.
Summer Rising Program for middle school students, giving youth the opportunity to explore new interests and develop leadership skills in a dynamic summer setting.
Volunteer opportunities for high school students and young adults, empowering them to give back to their community while building skills and experience.
Evening and Saturdays Neighborhood Center, open to community members of all ages—from children to adults—offering recreational activities, workshops, and social programming that bring neighbors together.

Serving youth from elementary through high school, as well as adults, CPC Beacon is more than a community center—it’s a place where connections are made, passions are discovered, and lifelong skills are developed. Our programs encourage individuals to grow academically, creatively, and socially while strengthening the fabric of the Sunset Park community.

Impact

For nearly three decades, CPC Beacon has empowered thousands of community members, providing opportunities to advance academically, explore new talents, engage with neighbors, and contribute meaningfully to their community. Our center is a hub of energy, learning, and inspiration, shaping the lives of participants of all ages.
