BMCC Project Impact

What does it really take to rebuild your life after incarceration? 🔓

This Second Chance Month, Project Impact @ BMCC is partnering with Goddard Riverside Options Center to bring you a powerful, eye-opening experience — a Reentry Simulation facilitated by Penn State's Restorative Justice Initiative.

Step into the shoes of justice-impacted individuals navigating the real systemic barriers they face on the road home. Then, stay for a panel discussion with people who've lived it.

This is more than an event — it's a chance to build empathy, spark conversation, and be part of the change. 💙

A moment worth another look.

Project Impact @ BMCC was honored to welcome Congressman Dan Goldman to campus as he announced $357,000 in Community Project Funding to support our program and the justice-impacted students we serve. This investment expands opportunities for education, stability, and new futures built through learning and community.

We are grateful to leaders who believe in the potential of our students and in the power of second chances.

Philly through the lens of Project Impact @ BMCC 💙

This trip was about more than sightseeing; it was about expanding horizons, building community, and seeing what’s possible. From touring Temple University and attending a climate change lecture to sharing meals and meaningful conversations, our students experienced college life beyond the classroom.

A special thank you to Empire Wind for making this trip possible and for supporting our students in tangible ways, including providing meals throughout the visit. Their commitment to educating students about climate change and sustainability made that classroom moment at Temple even more powerful.

At Project Impact @ BMCC, our mission is to create access, opportunity, and belonging. Experiences like this embody that mission, exposure builds confidence, and confidence drives growth. ✨

Project Impact @ BMCC took Philly! 💙

From visiting Temple University and exploring new academic pathways, to learning about Philadelphia’s rich history through a guided tour, this trip was about more than travel; it was about exposure, possibility, and expanding horizons. Experiences like these embody our mission: creating access, building confidence, and helping students see themselves in spaces they may not have imagined before.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share meals, meaningful conversations, and moments of discovery together—and to our generous sponsors who made this experience possible. Thank you for believing in our students and investing in their growth.

New city. New perspective. Same commitment to building futures full of possibility.

At Project Impact @ BMCC, our work is grounded in five core pillars—each designed to support students not just in the classroom, but in life. From outreach and partnerships to academic support, basic needs assistance, peer mentorship, and building true community and belonging, everything we do is centered on helping students thrive on their own terms. This is what support looks like. 💙

New year, same mission.

Finals: done. 👏
To our Project Impact @ BMCC students, congratulations on pushing through the long nights, big deadlines, and everything in between. As winter break begins, take this time to rest, reset, and recharge. You’ve earned it, and we’ll be right here when you’re ready to keep moving forward. 💙❄️
