WHO WE ARE

Building a stronger, more connected community.

The Bayside Opportunity Center is a welcoming community hub created to connect individuals and families with practical resources, learning opportunities, support, and pathways to greater independence.

Through community programs, partnerships, and trusted relationships, we help residents navigate everyday needs while creating opportunities to learn, connect, and thrive.

A Community Multicultural, built with Bayside!

Senior members of the BNA realized that the BNA did not have the capacity to undertake a project of this magnitude. Therefore, the BNA formed a sister community development corporation, the Bayside Opportunity Center (BOC), to develop a community center.

The Bayside Opportunity Center will be a welcoming hub for language classes, job placement assistance, cultural orientation, community events, and referrals, helping residents connect with the resources and opportunities they need.
