Petey Greene Program At Brown University, The

From the Brown directory, Aug 22, 2026

The Petey Greene Program supplements education for system-impacted individuals by preparing volunteers to provide free, quality tutoring and related programming to support the academic achievement of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people. We work to promote academic achievement in diverse classrooms in order to support students and build stronger communities. Brown students travel to educational programs and help tutor students within them. We strive to prioritize the individual needs of students; build strong relationships between academic institutions and communities; train volunteers in the skills necessary to tutor a variety of subjects; improve student achievement in high school equivalency, adult basic education, workforce development, post-secondary education, and other academic programs; encourage a positive academic environment grounded in professional and respectful interactions; and increase awareness of the positive impact of education in correctional facilities.
