PHENND Fellows-Prison Education Coordinator

The Petey Greene Program provides free, high-quality academic tutoring for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated learners across 7 geographic regions in the northeast. In Philadelphia, PGP has provided volunteer based tutoring in state, federal, and county level correctional facilities since 2015. In 2020, our mission expanded to include supporting returning citizens after their incarceration, as well as diversion programs for youth considered at risk of system involvement. Our volunteer tutors support the freedom dreams of people working toward an array of educational goals, including the GED, High School Equivalency, adult basic ed, English language learning, vocational certification exams, college coursework, etc. This year, the Philadelphia region is in an exciting expansion phase, and we need your support developing partnerships across the justice ecosystem to offer our transformative virtual and in-person tutoring programs across an array of prison, jail, reentry, and diversion programs in Philadelphia. We envision a world in which all incarcerated people have access to high-quality academic programs and we strive to inspire our alumni - both students and tutors - to become advocates, and to take on leadership roles that reimagine the criminal legal system. You can learn more on our website: www.peteygreene.org *We welcome applications from system-impacted people
