CUNY Catch was initiated in 1991 by LaGuardia Community College as an alliance of three CUNY colleges—LaGuardia, Medgar Evers and Bronx Community College. The alliance was committed to fostering service support for adolescents returning form city jails to their home communities and for youths who were out of school and/or at risk

The mission of CUNY Catch at Bronx Community College (BCC) has always been to provide our students with educational and professional development and empowerment.

CUNY Catch at BCC offers free GED and computer training classes, guidance counseling, career preparation, and college enrollment and retention services. These services are possible thanks to the close collaboration of the City University of New York and the New York City Department of Education.
