Beacon at Roosevelt Middle School

The Richmond Neighborhood Center began Beacon programming at Roosevelt Middle School in 2003. Beacon offers a fully comprehensive after school program from dismissal until 6:30PM at the school site that also includes dinner.

After School Anchor Program

Offers 6th and 7th grade youth an opportunity to investigate their interests and build soft and hard skills at Beacon. Youth will always participate in a check-in circle, collaborative hands-on activities and a learning debrief. They will also get a chance to show off their skills in the classroom or a culminating family night.

Skill Squads run Monday through Thursday. Youth create their weekly schedule every 5 to 7 weeks from the rotating offerings.

Youth often go on field trips on Fridays, so please inform Beacon staff if you are picking up, or expecting your child home early.

After School Academies

Offers 7th and 8th grade youth an opportunity to engage in content-rich activities and project-based learning. Youth will receive a special snack, program-wide announcements and individualized academic support. Academy participants host family nights and participate in culminating presentations.

Academies run Monday-Friday and youth can switch into and out of Academies every 5 to 7 weeks.

• Latinx Academy
