About
Brooklyn Collaborative is a public secondary school located in Red Hook/Carroll Gardens, NYC. We are a Title I public school, serving 678 students in Grades 6-12. We partner with EL Education and NYC Outward Bound Schools to provide our students with a learning environment that promotes high-quality teaching, high levels of student achievement, character development, and college access, readiness and persistence. Please see www.bcs448.org to learn more about our school. Please also see our page on Inside Schools to check out our statistics, including our 90% graduation rate (https://insideschools.org/school/15K448).
What I’m Raising Money For
Crew Orientation camping is a Brooklyn Collaborative rite of passage for Grades 6 and 9. These trips, including coach bus transportation, food, lodging, camping supplies, and a NYC Outward Bound staff member who accompanies each crew for the whole trip, cost our school over $45,000. This averages to approximately $200 per student for the 3-day/2-night adventure. Students travel in crew advisories and sleep in cabins ("birdhouses"), participating in a variety of activities including ropes courses and teambuilding initiatives that help them develop communication skills that they are able to apply in other settings, especially in school. This trip supports students in becoming more resilient, capable, and compassionate. The trip is FREE for students (we ask for a parent contribution of $20-50) and we do not turn away any student who cannot afford to pay. NYC Outward Bound provides students with equipment such as hiking backpacks, water bottles, sleeping gear, etc. so they have the complete authentic camping experience.
Why You Should Give
Due to a variety of factors, we are currently $99,000 in debt. This is the first year in a long time that our school has been in deficit! We're asking for your help to ensure that we can provide the same high quality programming to students, despite our budget deficit!

I want to support Crew. I've been part of one and it's a terrific experience. It's helped me be part of a team. Most work in life requires knowing how to be collaborative. This is a great hands on way to learn how to be a valued member of a group.

BCS supports young people in growing as learners. BCS also supports growth as positive community members, independent thinkers, and leaders. Kindness and collaboration begins with crew. Crew orientation has a huge impact on individuals and crews. It is something that crews, including crew leaders, hold close always. -
