Our Impact
Our goal is to support young people in developing more than just technical skills; we want to support youth as they grow as individuals. We provide creative and collaborative opportunities for more than 3,500 youth every year.
We can’t do this work alone.

Beam's way of giving opportunities is to present challenging situations that push creativity and open up unanticipated opportunities for growth. Beam offers projects that require us to create and edit items to produce something authentic...as well as projects that can extend beyond the classroom. Unlike traditional education, Beam nurtures students in a transformative way. It is very rewarding for me to see my students learn and apply what they learn to improve their lives.
Annual Reports
2022 was the year of community expansion and renewal at Beam Center. As we formed new relationships with organizations and strengthened our existing partnerships, Beam leaned into the strength of the network we’ve built with and for young people.
