About
Gladys Allen Brigham Community Center Youth Programs include Early Childhood Education, Out-of-School Enrichment, Girls Inc. programming, Youth Empowerment Services, Summer Day Camps, and Aquatics programs. Children and teens can take part in activities such as athletics, aquatics, gardening, drawing, sharing, reading, performing, home economics and sports opportunities for girls, counseling programs, childcare programs, and programs for single and teen parents. The programs also include science, math, technology and career activities through the Building Education Network (BEN), which uses 12 iPads and a rolling lab as part of a state-of-the-art STEM and career program.
• Ages: Infant–18 years old
The Early Childhood Education programs serve children from infancy to pre-kindergarten, and the ABC School Age Enrichment program serves children from kindergarten through age 14. Girls Inc. of the Berkshires serves girls ages 5–18, and Youth Empowerment Services (YES) serves adolescent boys and girls. Aquatics programs are offered for all ages, and Summer Camps include the ABC Program and Camp Stevenson-Witawentin.
The Gladys Allen Brigham Community Center is a multi-service organization empowering children and youth, with a special emphasis on girls, to become responsible, confident, personally fulfilled individuals. It is one of Berkshire County’s largest social service organizations and uses positive Youth Development practices. The organization began in 1911 as the Young Women’s Home Association, opened its present building in 1958 with a lead gift from General Electric, and created the first resident camp for area girls, Camp Witawentin, in 1929. Renovations to the building were completed in 2003, the name changed to the Gladys Allen Brigham Community Center in 2005 following a $500,000 gift, an Outdoor Classroom was completed in 2014, and the Building Education Network (BEN) was created in 2015 with grant support. The gymnasium and swimming pool were restored, and the Outdoor Classroom sits adjacent to the main building.
