Petey Greene Program at Brown Information Session

The Petey Greene program is starting at Brown this Spring! The Petey Greene Program envisions a world in which all incarcerated people have access to high quality academic programs. Petey Greene sees access to education as an essential part of recognizing the dignity of incarcerated people. Petey Greene aims to supplement education in local correctional institutions by providing individualized tutoring to people who are incarcerated. They work to promote academic achievement in prison classrooms in order to support people and build stronger communities. Petey Greene volunteers tutor in high school equivalency, college courses, and other educational classes at the Rhode Island Prisons once a week for 3 hours. Interested in getting involved? 

Come to their information session on the first floor of the Career Lab on November 10th, 8-9pm. If you have more questions and/or want an application, contact Aidea Downie '18 (aidea_downie@brown.edu) or Regional Field Manager Eleanor Roberts (eroberts@peteygreene.org).
