Support making this village stronger!
It takes a village to empower kids to become passionate leaders. We believe that empowerment requires welcoming spaces that enriches through strong role models, fosters creative outlets, encourages exploration of diverse experiences, and goes beyond time at school.
Areas of impact
Every child deserves a village that shows up for them
BLC is building that village, and we need your help to make it stronger.
BLC is shaping a hub of youth development and providing scholarships to underserved children and families. To grow this village, we need funding to bring in high-quality community partners who deliver learning experiences rooted in joy, empowerment, and belonging.

The gaps we're working to close
More community partners
We have the children. We have the mission. What we need are more trusted partners: arts organizations, mentors, wellness providers, who can walk alongside our families and deliver experiences that change lives.
Expanded scholarships
Demand for our scholarships exceeds what we can currently fund. Every dollar raised directly opens a door for a child who would otherwise be left out.
Program infrastructure
Growing the hub means investing in the tools, staff, and resources that make high-quality programming sustainable — not just possible for one season.
