Reach for the Stars

Friends of Brookville Center for Children's Services invite you to the "Reach for the Stars" event. This exciting initiative aims to raise funds exclusively for the benefit of our students, teachers, and schools. In 2025, our funds will be allocated to two vital programmatic initiatives.

• For our younger students, "Reach for the Stars" will fund the creation of enriching in-school experiences that provide the benefits of field trips. These activities are designed to be interactive and accessible, taking place within their own classrooms/school to ensure every student can benefit from these offerings.
• For students aged 13 and above, the funds will establish our PAES Lab (Practical Assessment Exploration System) in the lower level of the Cissy Birnbaum Building. This simulated work environment allows students to explore about 300 job training opportunities in sectors such as construction, business, and technology. The PAES Lab functions as both a work development curriculum and an assessment tool, providing hands-on experience and fostering essential work behaviors. Additionally, it generates detailed reports for each student to help develop personalized transition plans for their life after BCCS.

Join us in making a direct impact on our students' futures by supporting the "Reach for the Stars" event.
