Junior Program Coordinator -Mott Haven

About Us

Since 1876, The Boys’ Club of New York (BCNY) has been partnering with boys and young men in after‑school, weekend, and summer programs that support youth growth and development. BCNY’s two well‑equipped clubhouses in East Harlem and Flushing and its wilderness camp in Harriman State Park offer activities and programs remarkable in their range—from swimming to robotics, ice skating in Central Park, and Saturday theatre trips. All programs are free of charge to members and their families. With the increase in youth directly impacted by the shelter and homelessness crisis in New York City, BCNY is dedicated to increasing equitable access to its free, high‑quality youth programs that foster brave spaces where boys and young men can connect, have fun, and build lifelong friendships with peers and mentors. The organization is expanding sites in the Bronx and Brooklyn to engage members within their communities while maintaining its youth‑centered ethos.
