BCFI was established in 1986 to provide programs and services aimed at strengthening children and families.  Today, we serve children and families of all ethnic groups, as we are located in one of the most diverse communities in the area.

The mission of BCFI reflects the commitment necessary in the Lansing area to address the critical need for a broad range of activities and services essential to raising and meeting the aspirations of many children and families.  Our proven record and major foci on academic tutorial, enrichment and enhancement for children and adults, computer technology training, financial literacy, community unity and cultural activities set us apart from other organizations.

BCFI has a long history of providing services to youth and young adults in our community.  For more than 23 years we have operated a variety of programs that have offered services in the areas of tutoring and academic achievement; summer employment opportuniti4s; job shadowing; paid/unpaid work experiences; leadership development through community service activity; positive social behavior; and mentoring.  We have a full on-site computer lab, a cadre of loyal dedicated volunteers, a strong network of public and private entities, and a deep-rooted commitment to our community which makes us a strong provider of services.
