The Beacons annually serve over 5,000 children and adults in Community Boards #7 and #10. The curriculum for young people is designed to serve youth between the ages of five and twenty-one. HCZ's Beacons serve adults who are primarily the parents of youth who attend the program but who also include single adults and parents who walk in for services.
