Pittsburgh
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:
University of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh Community (volunteers not affiliated with the above universities or who are not university students)
We support students enrolled in college bridge programming.
Current partner institutions and programs include:
State Correctional Institution at Greene

Our Tutor and Student Stories
We hope the experiences of our volunteers and students will inspire your decision to apply.
Michelle didn’t set out to reinvent math instruction. She just followed a lifelong calling and found that her students had as much to teach her as she had to teach them.
Volunteer Mary McKenna has learned a lot in the ten years she’s been tutoring with the PGP.
"Petey Greene completely changed my life in so many ways. It showed me the power of transformative education.”
