The Baton Rouge Youth Coalition (BRYC) is 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in December 2008 when several Teach For America (TFA) Alumni recognized the urgent need to provide motivated Baton Rouge teens the tools they need to overcome barriers, excel in college, and become leaders of change.
BRYC was established in December 2008 by Teach for America alumni who envisioned a program where its Fellows could be challenged to dream big about their futures.
BRYC provides these students with the support to act upon their aspirations despite barriers that until now have made it so difficult for them.
BRYC was created to unleash the untapped potential of the high-achievers at our low-achieving schools, the school presidents, the valedictorians, the varsity sports players.
We help open-minded and hard-working teens to gain entry to and succeed in top universities and beyond. In so doing, BRYC improves its Fellows’ chances to excel in a diverse society, closes significant resource gaps, and supports our failing public school system.
We have committed ourselves to a "whole person" approach. We support students academically, emotionally and materially to help them stay on their chosen paths to personal success.
Through our leadership seminars, 1:1 college mentoring, and ACT prep, we help students realize how growing as individuals will help them reach their life goals.
