Overview

The Petey Greene Program launched in Pittsburgh in winter 2020. We recruit, train and coordinate undergraduate and graduate student volunteers—as well as community member volunteers—to serve as academic tutors for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people in the Pittsburgh area. We recruit volunteers primarily from:

Carnegie Mellon University
Duquesne University
University of Pittsburgh
Waynesburg University
Pittsburgh Community (volunteers not affiliated with the above universities or who are not university students)

We primarily support students enrolled in high school equivalency programs, college bridge programming, and workforce development programs. Bilingual tutors are encouraged to apply!

Current partner institutions and programs include:
