Beacon Place NFP

Beacon Place is a community center in southeast Waukegan with programs for kids and adults that allow them to see a path toward their own brighter tomorrow by building the life skills they need, to achieve the dreams that they want. 

The goal of each Beacon Place program is to provide enriching and fulfilling experiences that allow the participant to grow both as an individual as well as a part of the broader community. It is our hope that the families in our area will see their own personal path toward a brighter tomorrow and while achieving that dream, create a systemic change in their community that creates a brighter future for the entire neighborhood.

Beacon Place has a strong emphasis on academic support for children and families and weaves technology into all programs. Each program at Beacon Place has components that request a participant to share back in some way to foster commitment, responsibility, and self-reliance.
