The BCM Community Education Programs include:

• The Whittier Fifth Dimension
• Day on Campus
• Power Hour Homework Help
• The Wizard's Hour Reading Program
• And a summer educational computer program
  held at the Whittier Boys & Girls Club.

All serve socially and economically marginalized young people in Whittier, California, USA and nearby communities. A total of 923 children and youth participated in the BCM programs from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011.

The BCM Community Education Programs are planned, directed, and implemented by a selected group of Whittier College undergraduates, the BCM Scholars, under the guidance of Program Director Alexandra Guevara (Whittier College '09, M.A. '11, above right). A generous grant from the BCM Foundation to Whittier College's Department of Education and Child Development provides resources for all the programs, including college financial assistance for each member of the Scholars team.
