An affiliate of the Boston Centers for Youth and Families, BCNC works with the department’s 40 community centers to coordinate and improve city services and resources for Boston neighborhoods.
Data from the 2000 Census shows that Boston's Asian American community experienced significant growth (an increase of 49 percent between 1990 and 2000), yet the community’s poverty level and lack of English remain major challenges. BCNC provides programs and services that give children, youth, and adults the edge they need to be more successful and productive members of their community. Our programs help Asian Americans of all ages plant their feet in the neighborhoods of Greater Boston while our services also reach a diverse range of families.
