encourage everyone who has a dry cleaned prom or evening dress, a formal suit or tuxedo; gently worn shoes or accessories and unopened make-up to consider contributing them to this memorable occasion.

BCAL Saturday- Butterfly Project

March 16th, 2012 by sheena from BCAL

At BCAL we made butterflies to represent the children that were lost in the Holocaust. These butterflies were sent to The Holocaust Museum in Texas where the butterflies will eventually compose a breath-taking exhibition scheduled in the Spring of 2014. They will be put up in a gallery where everyone can notice all that has passed away.

if I could fly i’ll be closer to GOD,

if I could fly i’ll be so high,

Man I wish I had wings so I could try.

Former student – paying it forward!!!

February 9th, 2012 by cynthia from EHALL

Former Erasmus Hall student and current college student stopped by the program and brought it a slew of tasty/healthy delectables from the Farmers Market to share with students.

Michael McDonald graduated from Youth and Community Development HS on the Erasmus Campus last June.  He attended the BCCP Program for four years.

“I came to the program when I was just a freshmen, curious about what went on.  I learned so many different skills while in the program and lessons that will stick with me for life.  I had the pleasure of working with so many great people (Nixon, Rene, Nate, Ms. Paige, Clarisa, Cynthia, Nikki, Jill and many more).  I owe them so much because they changed my life and so many lives each day.  I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you all for everything.”

Michael spoke to current students in the program about his  experience in the BCCP Program and his new exciting college experience at The New York City College of Technology where he is majoring in Business Management.
