Our Youth Snow Day Drop-in Program offers a warm and safe place for youth ages 7 and older while their parents work. All youth are welcome.

Children under 12 must have a parent or guardian with them at drop-off to complete a short intake form. Parents should send lunch and snacks for their children. We will not provide food. To save time, you can print out and complete the intake form ahead of time.

All BCYF community centers and programs will be closed on  Tuesday, March 13, 2018, due to the snowstorm.

With your help, we identified specific locations suitable for new new bike stations. At our open house, you can review maps, ask questions, and share your preferences. 

Drop in at any time during the open house and stay for as long as you need. There will be no presentation.

We will focus on Jamaica Plain at this open house. If you are interested in other neighborhoods, please consider attending a different open house. You may also review and provide feedback on all station locations via our online survey.
