Our guest speaker this week is Barbara Karacic,
the executive director for Beacon Place. She has been
the executive director since 2012.
Beacon Place is a non profit that was founded in
2012. It empowers children and families through a
community center and core programs that focus on
nutrition, overall health, academic support and life
skills development.
The six core programs are: Summer Lunch Bunch
for children 4-18; Beacon Backpacks, a summer food
program for kids; Beacon Green, a program for 9-12
year olds to build knowledge of gardening; Tweens
and Teens for middle school children; and tutoring
programs.
